Panasonic Soundbar Setup

Good Morning Everyone,
I'm having a hard time setting up my Panasonic SC-HTB70 to work with my TV and Set-top Box. I have an LG LN5700 TV, Verizon P265 remote and of course my soundbar. The problem is I'm forced to use two remotes to control my system. I cannot regulate my volume using the FIOS remote; I have my soundbar connected directly to the  TV via Optical Audio cable, and my set-top box connect the TV via HDMI. Can someone please help me get this setup or advise what I may need to purchase to make this work. Thank you in advance.

  • New iMac mini DisplayPort to Panasonic Viera HDMI overrides Viera Link Soundbar

    I've just bought a new iMac 27 inch. I've connected it to my Panasonic Viera TV via a Belkin Mini DisplayPort and Belkin HDMI 5m cable into the tv's HDMI port. The Viera Link Soundbar is connected via the ARC HDMI2 port. When the imac HDMI is connected to the TV it seems to override the ARC Viera Link and cuts out the normal TV out put even when the settings to the TV are switched of on the imac.  It's really difficult to explain.

    Yes but is there way to leave it plugged in but disable it somehow? I don't want to have to plug and unplug the HDMI cable. Would Apple TV fix this issue?

  • Panasonic SDR-H21 HDD device --- error in setup

    hi there - please help ---- I just bought Final Cut Express 4 -
    I use a Panasonic SDR-H21 HDD& SD Card
    in my Final Cut setup I choose all-formats or DV/Panasonic DVCPRO ---- I choose PAL (we use PAL)
    as soon as I switch on my Panasonic it opens IPHOTO - I quit IPHOTO (a couple of times because it just reopen again), but in my Final Cut setup window it gave me the following error message

  • Easy Setup For Panasonic AG-HMC150 Files?

    I just got my new Panasonic AG-HMC150, and shot some sample footage at 720p/60. I had no problems getting the clips into FCP using Log & Transfer, and they look fine when playing them in the viewer, or from the timeline.
    I have a Matrox MXO, and the clips also play great on my 2nd Cinema Display that runs off of the Matrox; and, I have a small Sony 4:3 CRT monitor, that shows the clips properly letterboxed, and they play fine on that too. I've even exported the clips to Compressor, and burned a DVD in DVDSP, which looks great. Audio is fine, in sync, etc.
    The only problem is in the FCP canvas window; the lips will flicker a little or a lot, depending on the View Menu's video playback setting; using MXO DVCPRO 1280x720/59.94 causes a lot of flicker, while choosing MXO Uncompressed 1280x720/59.94 causes a little .
    I'm not sure if my Easy Setup is correct; I've chosen the MXO Apple Pro Res 720p/59.94 sequence setting, but I'm not sure what to do for Capture or Device Control settings; I wouldn't think that they would matter.
    I think the problem is with the Video Playback setting; I've chosen several of the MXO settings, and they all play fine on my Matrox monitor, but I can't find one that will smooth out playback in the canvas. Or, since everything else seems to work fine, should I even be worrying about this?
    I'm making the switch from capturing tapes, and I actually expected a lot more trouble than I'm having; but solving this tiny glitch would be great. I'm looking forward to getting familiar with this camera and using it for some upcoming events.
    Any suggestions on the proper Easy Setup settings for files from this camera, and in particular, a good View/Video Playback setting? Thanks in advance.

    Click on one of the ingest camera files in the FCP Browser. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the properties for the clip. Either report those properties here or take a screen shot of the item properties and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those settings here or take a screen shot of your Sequence Settings and post that screen shot here.

  • I have an IMAC I bought from a friend.  I think he wiped it clean.  I tried to go to panasonic to download a driver for my camcorder.  It put an icon on my desktop that is setup-1.exe  when I try to open it, it says I don't have a program to open it with.

    I tried to download a driver from Panasonic for my camcorder.  It puts an Icon on my desktop that is called set-up1.exe.  when I try to open this I get an error message that says I don't have a program to open it.  any suggestions.  Also, I tried to download the latest ITunes.  It put an Icon on my desktop but won't let me open it or run it.

    In general, you don't need drivers for camcorders on Macs, and the .exe file you downloaded is a Windows program, which won't run on a Mac unless you also have Windows installed.
    It would help a lot if you tell us the exact model camcorder you are using, and what application you want to use it with.
    Regarding iTunes, the latest version is iTunes 11.  You need to have OS X 10.6.8 or later to install iTunes 11.  Your profile says you have OS X 10.4.11, which is a much older version of OS X, so you won't be able to install iTunes 11.  (Here are the iTunes 11 specs.)

  • How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

    How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

    You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
    I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).

  • Workable Task?:  AirPort Express "g", Time Capsule, Panasonic VieraCast

    I have been at this for a few hours, a wall has been the result for a bit of the process.
    I have the following:
    iMac
    Airport Express "g" series (circa 2004?)
    Time Capsule 1TB (bought yesterday)
    Panasonic TV (TC-P50G15) with Viera Cast (bought two weeks ago)
    http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Televisions/All-VIERA-Flat-P anel-HDTVs/model.TC-P50G15.O110027000000000000005702#tabsection
    My iMac has internet access from the Time Capsule using a networking cable, my internet provider cable is running into the Time Capsule. All is working very well.
    I am attempting to connect the Panasonic TV to the Airport Express to allow access to the online content. This TV is in another part of the house from my iMac and Time Capsule.
    How do I get the Airport Express to gain access to the internet? I am certain it is an easy matter, I have missed something in this process.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers.

    In order to enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port, you will have to configure both the Time Capsule (TC) & the AX for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
    Here are the basic steps to do so:
    (Note: To facilitate the WDS set up, place the base stations within near proximity of each other during the set up phase, and then relocate them to their desired locations when complete. Also, jot down the AirPort IDs for each of the base stations to be used in the WDS.)
    o Perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC) and a "factory default" reset on the 802.11b/g AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
    Main Base Station Setup - TC
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the TC.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the TC, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base
    Station menu.
    o Click Wireless in the toolbar, and then choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and then choose “WDS main” from the WDS Mode pop-up menu.
    o Select the “Allow wireless clients” checkbox if you want client computer to connect to this base station.
    o Click the Add "+" button and enter the AirPort ID of the AX.
    o Click Update to send the new settings to the base stations in the WDS.
    Remote Base Station Setup - AX
    o Click the AirPort status menu in the menu bar and choose the wireless network created by the AX.
    o Open AirPort Utility.
    o Select the AX, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar and click Wireless. Choose “Participate in a WDS network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and choose the same channel as the main base station from the Channel pop-up menu.
    o Click WDS and choose “WDS remote” from the pop-up menu.
    o Enter the AirPort ID of the main base station in the WDS Main field.
    o Click Update to transfer the settings to the base station.

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?

  • Panasonic AG-HVX200 + MacBook Pro + FCP5 = Bliss or Nightmare?

    Hello all,
    I am planning my first HD shoot on the Panasonic HVX200 and am very excited. I aslo have a million nagging questions, so...
    1. How do I get the media out of the HVX200 memory sticks and into a external firewire drive hooked up to my MacBook Pro?
    The DP told me the Panasonic memory chips plug into a PCI/M card that is apparently only on PC's. I spoke to AppleCare and they said Apple's Express Card 34 slot is not compatible.
    The AppleCare tech said to buy a PCI to USB adapter. Is there any simpler way?
    2. Is my system capable of handling all this big ton HD data?
    a. MacBook Pro 17" with Tiger 10.4.6 and 1GB RAM
    b. Iomega Silver Series 320 gb Triple Advantage (USB2/Firewire400 & 800) Desktop Hard Drive
    3. Could you recomend settings inside Final Cut to optimize the quality of the HD without blowing out every single gig of my drive?
    That's it! Would appreciate any helpful feedback.
    Mr. Reilly
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1GB RAM

    1. Well, if you have a Powerbook G4 you could use the PCMCIA slot. It accepts P2 cards. The MacBookPro has PCI express slots, so the cards do not work in them. The only options you have here are to:
    a) Attach the camera via firewire and dump the card. Drawback, you lose the camera during production.
    b) Get a P2 Store. GREAT solution. Hard drive that you can dump the cards to. No laptop needed.
    c) Get the 5 card P2 reader. Costs as much as the P2 Store, but the P2 store is more useful.
    There is no generic reader for the P2 cards, as they are very different than other PCMCIA cards.
    2. Yes, it can. DVCPRO HD only requires a 1Ghz G4 or better. BUT, you will need a Firewire 800 drive or eSATA drive. There are PCI Express card adaptors for both solutions.
    3. Just use the DVPCRO HD Easy Setups that match the format you shot and you shoudl be good to go.

  • Problem HDMI connection to new Panasonic TC-60ps34 plasma; tv says no signal but computer detects tv; worked fine on 4 yr old phillips plasma; 2011 macbook pro running os10.6.8.

    New 60" Panasonic plasma says no signal won't display picture/sound from 2011 macbook pro running os10.6.8 connected via HDMI with moshi MDP to HDMI Adapter. Same setup on former 4-yr-old Phillips Plasma worked fine (but the tv died!)

    - I tried every Snow Leopard Release from 10.5.8 to 10.6.4
    Assuming this means the TV was not detected in any of these versions, this would not be a Snow Leopard installation or setup issue. I think that is what sig is trying to tell you.
    If this is true, you might want to post in the MacBook forums to see if anyone has a similar issue. It would be a good idea to post the model number of your Toshiba if you do so, as this might be relevant. Otherwise, it sounds like the problem is in the TV, since the MacBook works with other displays.

  • PLEASE HELP - Panasonic DV captured, audio goes out of sync

    I'm capturing an hour of DV from a Panasonic PV-GS500, using Capture Now. Initially the audio and video appear to be in sync, but when I view the latter portion of the hour, the audio and video are markedly out of sync. This has occurred with several different tapes. I don't recall if this happened with FCE 3.5; I'm using 4.0.1.
    The recording was made with 16 bit audio. I chose Easy Setup with format DV/Panasonic DVCPRO, using DV-NTSC, and rate 29.97fps. My sequence is 48kHz.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I re-captured the same tape I had trouble with the first time, but this time I started at the beginning without any lead time and it worked without audio/video sync problems. So I think the source of the problem was that I was changing Easy Setup settings after making a new project/sequence, instead of creating a new project/sequence after selecting the Easy Setup settings I want.
    I have 2 related additional questions. I hope someone will take a stab at answering these.
    Question ONE
    I checked my Easy Setup settings again, and the format is shown as "custom." I'm sure I didn't select this intentionally; I selected DV-NTSC. Not sure if this "custom" setting is why things are working now. Any idea why this setting might have changed to "custom" automatically by FCE?
    The "custom" settings are as follows:
    Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC
    Playback Output Video: None
    Playback Output Audio: FireWire DV
    PTV Output Video: Same as Playback
    PTV Output Audio: Same as Playback
    If I change the format back to DV-NTSC, Playback Output Video changes to "Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)." I'm not sure if this is relevant.
    Question TWO
    Say I've imported all this DV, without audio/video sync problems, with certain Easy Setup Settings. What if I then switch to a different camera for which the capture format is different (say DV-NTSC 32kHz FireWire Basic). Will that create any problems? I ask because presumably my old Easy Setup settings (for my first camera) are still being used by the Project or Sequence. The second camera requires new Easy Setup settings, but these settings are not congruent with the Project or Sequence I'm working with.
    Maybe another way to ask this question is this: Can I mix and match DV from different cameras without any problems, even though the Easy Setup settings are changed within the same project and sequence?
    Thanks again.

  • Importing Hi 8 video through Panasonic DVX 100

    Here's my dilemma... I want to capture Hi 8 video. I have hooked up my original Sony Handycam camera as the player - feeding video into my Panasonic DVX 100 through the old school red-yellow-white cables. My Panasonic DVX 100 video out is a Mac Firewire that connects into a firewire 6 port hub which connects into the Mac.
    Going through "Capture" on FCE, I can see the Hi 8 video. So I hit play on the Handycam player, then click "Capture Now."
    But then I get the following error message "Device must be in VTR mode when Device Control is enabled."
    I have the Panasonic in VCR mode (DV output set to "on") and the Handycam in "player" mode.
    What am I missing? Thanks for helping out!

    The solution poses a new problem, one that other people are having as well.. After I capture a clip, I get a warning regarding sample audio rate. According to my easy setup, the DV - NTSC - DV Converter audio rate is 48 kHz for both the sequence and capture.
    I can't find an audio rate setting on the Sony Handicam Hi 8 camera, which is the camera that originally recorded the tape.
    How can I resolve the error warning?

  • Don't get timecode via firewire from FCP to Panasonic HVX200A for DV.

    When I try to 'print to video' or just play the timeline for a NTSC DV sequence, I get video and audio on my Panasonic HVX200A camera, but no timecode. The timecode display on the camera doesn't move and when I 'Log and Capture' the video that I just recorded, the 'Log and Capture' just sits there displaying 'Waiting for timecode' while the tape is actually playing in the camera.
    The camera setting for '1394 TC REGEN' is set to 'on' which means that the camera will get the timecode from the firewire instead of creating the timecode itself.
    The 'no timecode' problem is the same for output to tape or P2 cards.
    I am using the DV-NTSC Easy Setup for device control, etc.
    But.... When I output an HD (720P/60P) sequence from the timeline to the P2 cards, the timecode is immediately visible on the camera's timecode counter. I can even send the DV sequence above to the HD P2 setup and the DV timecode will show up.
    How can I get FCP 7 to send the timecode via firewire to my HVX200A using a DV recording setup options on the camera?

    But I can send the time code from both a 720P/24P sequence and a NTSC DV sequence using the 720P/60P FCP video playback setup to the Panasonic HVX200A using the camera recording setup 720P/60P.
    If I change the starting timecode for my active sequence from 01:00:00:00 to 03:00:00:00 and press play, the timecode sent to the camera displays the correct hh:mm:ss:ff starting with 03.
    So you can output timecode using HD settings. And you can send a DV sequence to the same HD settings and see that DV timecode. Although, the DV frame is surrounded by black on all sides.
    But why can't you output a DV timecode to a DV setup HVX200A?
    Also, if you wanted to create a DV tape using the filters that burn a visual timecode to the tape, don't you need to be sure that you can send the timecode with video so that they are in sync when recorded? You wouldn't want the camcorder to provide timecode that doesn't exactly match the burned to image timecode?
