3. If the TV uses Wi-Fi and won't wake, try an Ethernet cable.

1. Check the model number. If it ends in JX800, LX800, LX650, LX660, MX650, MZ700 or MZ800, your TV runs Android TV; see the Panasonic Android TV page.

Yes. Simple TV Remote is a Panasonic My Home Screen TV remote app for iPhone that works with Panasonic My Home Screen TVs running Panasonic My Home Screen. It pairs over your home Wi-Fi and sends real commands in a free check, so you know it works on your exact TV before you pay $5.99, once.

Yes, from standby. Needs Menu > Network > TV Remote App Settings > TV Remote turned on, plus the wake option on that screen (Wake on LAN / Wireless LAN in Panasonic's 2017–2019 eHELP; Powered On by Apps on some UK sets). Works from standby only, not after the TV is switched off at the mains. No app can turn on a TV that is unplugged.

In the UK, most 4K LCD and OLED models from 2016 to 2023: the DX, EX, FX, GX and HX ranges, the JZ, LZ and MZ980/1500/2000 OLEDs, and the JX850, JX870, JX940 and MX950. Some models from 2021 to 2023 run Android TV or Fire TV instead.

Press Menu, open Network, then TV Remote App Settings. Turn TV Remote on. Panasonic's eHELP for 2017–2019 models shows this path.

Usually not. Panasonic kept each model on its launch version family; reviewers reported that 5.0 and 6.0 were not offered to earlier models.

UK Panasonic OLEDs from 2017 to 2023 run My Home Screen, except the 2023 MZ700 and MZ800, which run Android TV.

Panasonic My Home Screen TVs from 2016–2023 work, including the DX600, DX650, DX700, DX750, DX802, DX902, EX580, EX600 series sold in United Kingdom. Search for your exact model code in the table on this page.

Put your iPhone and TV on the same Wi-Fi, open Simple TV Remote and pick your TV. Accept the prompt on the TV with your TV remote once, and the app remembers it.

Open Menu > Help > Device information. The Help menu also shows the software version. It’s also on the label on the back of the TV.

Yes, in most search boxes. We have not confirmed that typed text reaches the TV's on-screen keyboard.

Make sure the TV is on and on the same Wi-Fi as your iPhone, not a guest network, and turn off any VPN on your iPhone. If it still doesn’t show up, restart the TV and your router, then check Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network on your iPhone.

No. Simple TV Remote talks to your TV over your home Wi-Fi. iPhones have no infrared, so TVs without a network connection can’t be controlled.
