wheelz Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 You can connect an HD stb. It will look better when displaying an HD tv show compared to your SD stb. However for most people the difference is not significant enough to justify the extra cost of the HD stb (especially given the scarcity of HD programs). the other advantage of using a HD box on a SD panel is you get 5.1 sound on the HD movies/shows that they occasionally broadcast with 5.1.

pgdownload Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I dont know what 5.1 sound is!!In simple terms, its the number of speakers you hook up - 2 front, 2 rear & 1 centre front. The 0.1 is usually a subwoofer for low sound.Concur that its 100% possible to watch HD on a SD TV but that its usually not worth the extra expense (as the TV throws away most of the extra detail) Have a read of the PVR FAQ if you're interested in getting a STB to record TV.

daedalus Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 question if i may:with the th-42pa60 what version hdmi is it v1.1 ? if that is the case can i still buy an receiver with hdmi v1.2? i have looked at the manual and it does not say anything. confused? hey guys, i am thinking of buying a used 42" Panasonic Plasma TV- model TH-42PA60A. My only concern is that it does not have d-sub or dvi in (i will be connecting a HTPC to it). is there any disadvantage in connecting a htpc via component in (bear in mind that its a SD panel so 480p is the max anyway). How would i connect my htpc using component in? thanks! PS: i only want to connect a PC to it for gaming and dvds, and do not want to buy a dvd player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRobes Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi everyone, This is my first post, so ill start by saying Hi and saying (lol you probably already no) this is a great forum with loads of ppl willing to help each other out, which is great to see. Ive read through everything so far and im sorry to reboot a dead thread but im just curious, i just got the th-42pa60a and currently it looks great but i want to mount it, i was looking at the back of the unit (i have No idea what im looking at to mount, but i was told to look for screw holes?! but couldnt find any) does that mean that i cant mount? or that i need a panasonic specific one that costs a mint$$?? cause the universal ones are a lot cheaper and i was wondering if they'd work with this tv? and how?(if anyone has done it). If anyone could help me with this i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for any help guys. DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Welcome DRobes, The Pana's have holes in the back of the panel, but they have a plastic cap covering them. You just need to remove these and then the attach the mounting braket to these. Download a current Pana plasma manual and you will see them described in the first 2-3 pages. And yes...the after market wall mounts are fine and heaps cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture, Audio, both? The 60A probably won't accept 1080/24p video source. What are your AV settings on the PS3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
