RE: Recommendations for Plasma TV...

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

    Yes - be  a little careful re connections on the
Panasonic - if the RGB
input is used and only composite synch is available (i.e. no separate
synch's for horizontal and vertical , or synch on green) then the
Panasonic
utilises the composite video input to get around this. This effectively
loses you the composite input for other use. Additionally the S-Video
input
overrides the composite if present so you can't use S-Video either !!
There
is no Scart input on the Panasonic standard board so you might need a
Scart
to RGB cable which provides composite synch only. You also need to
think
about the windscreen auto switching if you go this route.

    There are ways around all of this but it needs a little
thought and
planning. If you do go for the Panasonic tuner ( ridiculously
overpriced)
you also need a different input board that provides one tuner only
custom
connection and all the connections are then made to the tuner
box.   BTW it
also says in the manual that you will lose the use of the RS232 control
port
on the cell if you plug in the tuner box - unfortunate :-( . Maybe the
tuner
box provides it's own RS232 control port ??? Anyone got one ?

    I am delighted with the Panasonic btw.

    Kevin

  I got mine from Global Hi-Fi in Newcastle (they were difficult to
get
  hold of at the time, and they just happened to have stock - they
  delivered and installed it at what was a sensible price at the time
-
  even though it took two blokes out of the shop for a day).

  www.ivojo.co.uk have a good rep on the home cinema newsgroup

  Bear in mind that the Panasonic does have some connection
limitations

  Email me direct with what you are trying to connect and how, and
I'll
  talk you through your options.

  Tim.
