You're Welcome Jon.

More Info for you guys about Multi-Function Slots introduced on 2003 Industrial (Commercial) Plasmas.

Here's a pic of the inputs on the back of PWD6UY:



Multi-Function Slots - the new Commercial Displays have three interchangeable slots that let you add different combinations of optional terminal boards. The standard terminal included takes up slot 2 and slot 3 (top pic). Slot 1 comes empty.

You can add a DVI-HDCP Board or another Component on that free slot or even remove the standard terminal and have 3 free slots (Middle pic) to do any configuration of inputs.

However there are limitations on where the optional cards can be placed.
Here's the list:

RGB Active Through Terminal Board TY-42TM6G (Insertable in slot 1 & 2)

BNC Component Video Terminal Board TY-42TM6A (Insertable in slot 1, 2, or 3)

RCA Component Video Terminal Board TY-42TM6Z (Insertable in slot 1, 2, or 3)

BNC Composite Video Terminal Board TY-42TM6B (Insertable in slot 1 or 2)

RCA Composite Video Terminal Board TY-42TM6V (Insertable in slot 1 or 2)

RGB (Digital) DVI - HDCP Terminal Board TY-42TM6D (Insertable in slot 1 or 2)

PC Input Terminal Board TY-42TM6P (Insertable in slot 1, 2, or 3)



** 2 DVI inputs can be used , but S-video/Composite won't be possible because both can be placed on slot 1 and slot 2 only.

** The TH-37PWD6UY has only two slots (bottom pic)

Here's the new Panasonic HD Consumer Displays (Viera Series).
Panasonic now makes a 37" HD Display:




The TH-42PX20U will be available next month.

Beautiful isn't it???

 

[Fred Tedsen]

Yes, they certainly are. Do you have a date for the 37"? Do you have prices?

[BruZZi]

No Idea about the 37". It should be $500 less than the 42".

TH-37PX20 .............................$5999 MSRP ???
TH-42PX20 is supposed to be -- $6499 MSRP (Available September)
TH-50PX20 is supposed to be -- $9499 MSRP (Available October)

You can expect some places selling them for 20% off list price on the release.

Hi Rich.

I'm just trying to help fellow members at HTF since they don't get much response on Plasma questions.

See Ya at AVS Forum.
