How To Reset Panasonic TV To Factory Settings

• This will open another menu on the screen, and you need to select “SYSTEM” here and press OK.
• In the “SYSTEM” menu, you will see the “FACTORY DEFAULTS” options. Select it and press OK.
• A popup or a new screen will appear saying, “All tuned data will be erased.” Press “YES” to factory reset your Panasonic TV.

Factory Reset Panasonic TV Without A Remote

You will need someone else to help you out with a factory reset without a remote because it can be difficult to perform it alone, especially if the electric socket is far away.

You need to turn off the Panasonic TV for a factory reset as well, but not by holding down the power button.

• For a factory reset, you need to unplug the AC power cord of your Panasonic TV. The TV will be turned off.
• Now, you will have to press and hold the “POWER BUTTON” and the “VOLUME DOWN” buttons simultaneously.
• While holding both buttons, ask your helper to plug the AC power cord back into the electric socket.
• Keep holding the buttons, even after the Panasonic TV is turned on. You need to hold them and wait until the “Erasing Screen” shows up on the screen.
• Once the erasing screen shows up, you can simply use the buttons present on your TV’s hardware to select what to keep and what not to keep before pressing OK for the factory reset.

Panasonic Viera Plasma TV, Panasonic Viera Smart TV, and other latest models will have almost the same process to follow in order to perform both soft and hard reset.
