What a couple of weeks I have just had - busy or what?!!! Anyway, I finally was able to update my own site (http://change.to/panasonic I have been playing PAL Playstation games on this set with no problem, my Sony Trinitron could _not_ display these same games. The bottom is cut off by about an...

Sorry about the lack of scans peeps, I still cant get the bloody scanner working on XP I am trying to get things typed as quick as I can. Soz again folks, Brett

Hi all, well I could have posted another thread about this TV but I think we have enough to keep us busy now. I am about to go away for the weekend, but thought I'd try something out with the TV. I put a UK PS1 game in my US PS2 (chipped for this sort of thing) and the TV displayed it without a...

*wow* I thought 64point convergence on my mate's Tosh was amazing. But having just read, and got into the service mode convergence menus, I have to say other than intimidating I think the possibility of making a great picture even better is such a reality now. I see myself spending many hours...

Well I step away for a couple of days and the HTF brings Utopia to the Panasonic arena - BIG thanks Michael and JohnnyG!!! My friend and I spent hours the other night (well my mate mostly, very very determined he was ) playing with all settings trying to get the set looking perfect. Some of...

Carlo, FIrst of all really feel for you about not having the set yet, talk about patience. I realise you have little choice, but this whole process must be allowing you to make sure everything is right for the set, space, manuals, ambient lighting Seriously though, hope you get it soon, and...

Michael - Thanks for the information, this is a learning process for me, so thanks for posting. I have been reading about your ISF endeavours and have to say you sound like a genius when it comes to these things. My mate just bought a Toshiba, and along with another guy we may try getting you...

UPDATE: I have been reading the manual, and have a couple of things to say about it. There are numerous service type convergence screens, but no 64point convergence ala Toshiba, to quote the manual on this one "NOTE: Since convergence adjustment will not allows (yes this is exact, and not my...

I am still studying the manual, so can only really answer your question about the inputs for now. But I am going to go play with the set now, once I write ALL settings down. Yes the set can fit snug against the wall, I shall try and do some ACII art now (not quite 1337 , but should do) --...

Well I got it in the mail yesterday, however I had to take care of the g/f as she had her wisdom teeth out - so that set me back. So just started to take a peek. I got into the service mode alright (that was my first test - to make sure I could ) and then exited, as I have yet to really read...

Sorry Mass, at least you tried it out. As far as the extra money, at least you have an extra month to save :) so at least you could justify it that way But here is my 2pence: To be honest I cannot be happier with mine. I got it from OneCall.com (The _only_ place I would deal with online for...

You can turn them off via one of the main menus, very easy to do actually - just a shame the SVM/Red issue was not on the same page Talking of the speakers though, they sound quite good actually, would not replace an HT by any means but for TV and Dish (unless I choose to listen via my...

Rob (and anyone else interested in this stuff :)) I have finally got the Web site updated, and on my page about the TV itself, I have gone into some brief detail about the squeeze modes, along with my impression on the picture from various sources (DVD, DBS, OTA, and Cable). You can get to...

Rob, Get in touch with Tim - grab some beer, and come round next week (He told me you and him were mates). Anyway the documentation I got was very poor, so really the only justification would be for you to see them first hand. For the record though, anyone who says they get used to 16x9 mode...

JohnnyG - you rule :) Not to harp on the bandwagon that has not rolled for a while but All our Panny's are belong to you Keep us posted, Brett

Mass - Great news, and I think it's very positive for Panasonic. I think you are a deciding factor for many prospective owners, I know you certainly sealed my deal - my credit card says thank you What kind of things are you noticing problems with? I know my mate came around tonight and...

Well gents, last night I was in rapture - course the beer helped :) but tonight I did the following: * Ran Avia tests and set the following numbers... - Color: 38 - Tint: 26 - Brightness: 42 - Picture: 25 - Sharpness: 37 * Checked the single point convergence, and that was...

Brian, The newer Sears in-store catalogue list this set. They should be getting them in soon (well that's what the guy told me Tuesday) Hope that helps. Mass - Please don't give up hope, together we will all overcome any issues. Just look at the Mitsi owners and the Tosh ppl. - Brett

*WOW* Got the set a day early, hooked it up to my SkyWorth DVD and I am flawed at the quality. I have played parts of numerous DVDs once I did a basic Avia test set. The detail, clarity and overall realism is just so great - I am not regretting this set at all. Mass - Really sorry to hear the...

Folks, Well it is way too late *yawn*, but I finally got some Web space without ads and cgi capability. Thanks to my mate for letting me piggy back on his Web space - kudos There are no ads, but there is one pop up due to the re-direct URL service I am using for now. A full domain is on the...

Well I got word from the shipping company that mine will be in town on Thursday, cant wait. I shall go to work early then "work from home" in the afternoon Really feel your pain Carlo, it has been great to read the posts here to sort of soften that lack of TV that shouild be here anyday...

Rob, there is a 1year parts and labour (labor as you americans like to spell it =). OneCall said if I needed anything done in the first year to phone a local Panasonic repair shop and they'll take care of me. As far as extended goes, well nothing was mentioned, but once I get the set I am going...

Mass (and other prospective owners) - I just hooked some Web space up, and hope to have a basic site up by the end of Wednesday (work is very busy right now ) so aim to have some basic info, FAQ and an initial forum up and running. Once we get the SVM info sorted out then we can share with...

That was a great post Mass, good luck on getting it tonight. Along with a number of other posters I too am waiting for this set - ordered it from OneCall last Monday, and it shipped Wednesday. So I am hoping for late next week to finally have my own set... ...but until then it is living...

That really is a nice piece.A sub is the first thing I want to do when I move out of my current apartment. The posts like this are what is great about this site, inspirational AND helpful. - Brett

Thanks for those tips, TBH I am not really looking at the Rat Shack style project boxes as I want this to 'blend' in with the rest of the system. Right now it's getting built up on a piece of wood, so I guess anything more than that is going to be an improvment. Thanks for link to Par-Metal...

I am in the initial stages of creating an MP3 player for my HT (don't worry I will post fill creation instructions on my Web site (coming soon :))). I have the most of the hardware required, except a PCI riser card and a TV video card (found the rise, just have to order, and have an E-Bay bid...
