There may be times when your Panasonic TV remote gets broken accidentally, or you might have misplaced it. When you fall into such situations and doubt whether you can turn the Panasonic TV on without the remote, then the answer is Yes. All you have to do is locate and press the Power button on the TV panel or the remote app to switch on your Panasonic TV. We have also discussed two other ways, and if you need guidance in using these methods, simply refer to the entire article.
Use the Power Button to Turn On Panasonic TV
All Panasonic TVs have a dedicated power button on the bottom or side panel. First, connect the TV cord to the power source and click the physical Power button. A Panasonic logo will appear, and within a few seconds, the TV will be turned on. To change the input on Panasonic TV to a streaming device, press the INPUT button on the side panel and select the preferred source.
Use the Remote App to Switch On Panasonic TV
Infrared remote apps are available for Panasonic TVs, which work the way the physical remote does. The requisite to use the IR remote app is an Android mobile pre-equipped with an IR blaster. If you have an iPhone, you can’t install the infrared remote app since it is incapable of emitting IR signals. You don’t need to connect your Panasonic TV to WiFi, as these apps work via infrared signals.
Here are IR apps that you can use to operate Panasonic TV seamlessly.

Power On Panasonic TV via HDMI-CEC Feature
The HDMI-CEC feature lets you turn on Panasonic TV without a controller. By enabling this setting, your Panasonic TV will automatically match the power state of your HDMI-connected device. Let’s assume you have connected an Xbox console to your Panasonic TV and enabled HDMI CEC. If you turn off your Xbox, it will turn off your TV as well. Similarly, switching on a console will also power on the Panasonic TV.
Apart from the above-discussed techniques, you can use a universal remote to control your TV. Before using it, you should program a universal remote to your Panasonic TV using remote codes. After setting it up, click the Power key on the remote to turn on your TV.
FAQ
The problem may be with the socket to which your Panasonic TV is connected, or the cord may be loosened. Eject the TV cord, connect it to a different socket, and check if your TV turns back normally.
