My 13" Panasonic TV quit receiving UHF early in its life. I think it was
still under warranty, but I didn't have time to pursue it back then.

The digital tuner will display the station number, but nothing is received.
The TV is NOT set on CATV, however, when I set it there the result is the
same. VHF is received fine, as is FM radio (This unit is a combination TV,
FM radio, and VCR).

The TV specifics:
Panasonic 13" TV+VCR+FM
Model: PVM1349
Date: June 1999
Tuner: Panasonic ENV56D55G3

Since everything works except the UHF reception, I'd hate to discard the TV.
Unfortunately, all our TV stations except one are UHF. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

May need to change the tuner or have the support circuitry for the tuner
repaired. Confirm the proper voltages are available to the tuner. Since this
is a model with the VCR embedded you may consider having it serviced for
you. The only voltages you will see there are probably the 30VDC @ # 9 and
the 5VDC @ #6. The rest of the control is via the serial and data lines from
the MPU. IMHO it may just be the tuner.

They have your replacement tuner in stock for $33.03.

I recently ordered some parts for my daughter's portable CD player. I
was amazed to find the parts available at a reasonable price in this
"Throw it away and buy another" society we live in!
