How to Factory Reset a Panasonic Smart TV

Authored by: Support.com Tech Pro Team

1. Introduction

A factory reset will reset the Smart TV back to default settings. This is typically done when there is a problem that can only be fixed with a reset or if you want to sell or give it away. This process will remove all customized TV settings, including tuned channels, recordings, custom input names, installed applications, stored Wi-Fi passwords, etc.

2. Factory Reset

Resetting your device to its factory settings erases all accounts, and saved settings. Do not turn off or unplug the TV during a factory reset.
