Purchased this Tv at Best buy and after getting it home found that the remote would only work if you were directly in front of the tv and close. Spoke to Panasonic several times and they were of very little help. After dealing with them I carried it back two days before the thirty return ran out. Best buy tryed to be very helpful.They ordered me another one from another warehouse and we plugged it in and found out it was the same way. Its a big screen tv and made to be aways back. The remote would only work if you were within ten feet and directly in front. Bottom line is the tv has a good picture but is useless with the remote. I have three other Toshiba tv and never had this problem. I will be looking for another brand besides Panasonic.
