Why do I get a "wrong format" message when connecting my New Panasonic Blu-Ray/WiFi player. My TV is about 7 years old. Is this problem fixable or is it time for a new TV?

The laser mechanism has lost its ability to focus properly. Not cost effective to repair. Get a new one.

Why do you want to connect the Blu Ray to your Wifi?

Too Old!

what error message you get when you try to connect to wifi network ?

Software issue - contact Panny tech services for resolution.

Is your TV 1080p? If the Blu-Ray is putting out 1080p and your TV only supports 720p/1080i then you will get a message like this. Try changing your settings to 720p while it is connected to a TV that does display correctly, then move it back to the 47 in LCD.

There have been issues with firmware, if that is the case they should offer a method to reverse the process instead of telling you to press a few buttons which will do nothing. I would pursue Panasonic to get them to offer you a solution to remedy the matter.

I pulled up the specifications for the bd85 Blu-ray player. It says below that it has an rj-45 network connection. That means, although it says that it is WiFi ready, that it requires an additional WiFi Adapter of some sort to operate with Wifi. Or you could connect it directly to your router or switch using rj-45 cable.
