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.

Very clear, just want to know now about the DVD player in the circuit. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2012 4:38 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TVonics Alfred - 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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Alfred King To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 10:04 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TVonics 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! ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 9:47 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TVonics 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? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Alfred King To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 7:18 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 7:13 PM Subject: [access-uk] TVonics 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
