Hi Alfred -
You can either hook up the DVD player to one of the HDMI inputs on the TVonics,
and when you want to watch it, you'll have to select HDMI 1 or 2 on the TVonics
remote [depending which one you have connected to] but then you'll need your
DVD's own remote to operate the player, or, you can just hook up the DVD player
strait to one of the HDMI inputs on your TV, but again, when you want to use
it, you'll have to press that av button on the Panasonic remote, and arrow down
to the appropriate HDMI port. Just so you have the info, the AV button on the
Panasonic is the top row, right hand most button, I can't recall the whole
cycle sequence of inputs, but mine lands you on av1 when you press the button,
down arrow once, and I get av2, next comes PC, then the 4 HDMI inputs.
HTH -
Andy

My set up is like this, and yours will probably be similar as you'll have
much the same kit as me:
Aerial in to the TVonics, and out to the TV.
TVonics hooked up to TV via an HDMI.
When I first turned on the TVonics, text came up on screen saying to press
'ok' to select auto tuning. I didn't do this, because I wanted speech first so
I could do the set up myself. What I had to do however, was to press the AV
button on the Panasonic remote, and although the TV told me which menu I was
in, and how many items there were, it wouldn't announce each item as I arrowed
down. I had sighted help, and was able to select the HDMI port on my TV that I
had hooked the TVonics too. Once this was done, I exited the TV menus, and
pressed the blue button on the TVonics remote, which is at the very bottom
right hand side. This started the box talking, and it asked me to press ok to
start auto tuning. I did this, and it started searching for stations. Be wear,
you might well hear the box say no channels found, as it is searching, but
don't panic, this will change, and it will eventually start to announce how
many it has found as it continues to search, and it will announce when the
search has finished.
I understand you are a bit confused at the moment as to how the set up will
work, but it's very straightforward. Again, like me, you'll probably have to
use two remotes, the Panasonic one, and the TVonics one. So, if you don't
intend recording anything, and just want to watch TV, use the Panasonic remote,
and leave the TVonics on stand-by, just turning it on when you have something
to record, or to watch from your library.
Hope that's of some help -
Andy

I have a TVonics but I am confused. my TV will arrive on Friday. I will
get the audio assistance and AD set up for me when it is delivered. Now
totally confused re the TVonics. If I tune that then is there a button or
switch to change between the two because can't have 2 talking at once Lol!

Hi Alfred -
Got it set up, and all is good.
It's good to have speech on both the TV, and the TVonics. It means I
can watch the TV without the need for the TVonics to be on, I'll only need it
when I record or watch a recording. Let me know how it goes for you with your
new TV. Do you already have a TVonics? -

Hi andy
I am interested in how you are going to cope with the speech on your
Panasonic along with the speech on your TVonics. Have decided to get the
Panasonic 32 inch model, similar to yours.

Hi all -
Have to give RNIB full marks for a speedy delivery. My order was
processed yesterday, and the machine arrived today.
The thing itself: Got it all set up fine and working. I haven't
managed to pair it's remote with my Panasonic one, but it does say in the
instruction that this might not work with some Panasonic models. I need to look
a bit further in to this to make sure mine is one of those, cos it'd be nice to
only have to use the one remote.
Have to say I think the machine is very ugly in it's shape, and not
at all a standard box that can form part of a stack, thankfully, I've enough
shelf space on my TV stand to accommodate it's quirky contours!
Looks like this is going to be a useful addition to my set-up.
Going to make some test recordings etc, and see how things go.
Thanks to all for feedback and set-up instructions etc -
Andy
