- Does anyone know how most plasmas, or more specifically the Panasonic TH-42PHD6UY mounts to a wall mount bracket? Does it mount exactly in the middle or how far is it from the top or bottom. I need to know now for installation, but dont need the TV for 3 or 4 months. I am trying to center unit over a fireplace and mantel. if anyone can help it will be much appreciated. thanks!
- Are there any Plasma TVs that can be mounted outside, if not direcly rained on, but in very himd conditions, or is there an add on kit (maybe an enclosure)that would allow viewing a regular Plasma usable outside?
- I just purchased a 42" plasma TV. I live in a place where there is no digital broadcast signal. In fact I have satellite TV. I noticed that the images are pretty sharp generally but I was watching a sporting event and noticed that longer views and when there is a lot of motion on the screen the image seems to blur. Does this have something to do with the TV, the TV connections or the signal? Thanks.
- I'm looking at a JVC 42" ED Plasma with a separate media box. I want to mount the TV on the wall, run cables to another room where the media box and other components will reside... but I need a 15meter cable. Any suggestions on sources for cables of this lengh?
- Getting Pan th-42wd6 on 6/28. Mounting with Peerless tilt over fireplace so have very little room for cables. How can I best hook iy up to both dvd cable with minimum going to the Panasonic? THANKS!!
- I am connecting my HDTV to my HD cable box and DVD with component cables. The cables that came with the cable box are about ten feet long and 8 feet of excess cable is coiled up behind the tv stand. Does the length, brand or being coiled affect picture quality. If so, what are good quality cables???
- It's possible to find a plasma with 4 picture mode?
- We have panasonic TH-42PWD5UY. Which component video cable (Monster Video 2 or Monster Video 3) I should use to connect the plasma and my progressive scan DVD player? Any different?
- I have just purchased a Panasonic TH42PX25U/p w/HDMI.does not have DVI..I have a dish satellite set top box 4900 that does not have HDMI plug is there any type of adapter that goes from S-video and RCA to HDMI ?

There are four mounting points equally spaced on the rear that will mount to bracket. I would be more concerned with the bracket you are planning on using as those vary by manufacturer.

I would not suggest mounting a plasma screen outside as airborne particles and temperature changes will impact the life of the unit. I am not aware of any enclosures designed specifically for plasmas for the outside.

The fuzziness is from the signal with the far back pans and zooms.

You will need to check with JVC to see if they make a system cable the length you require.

To minimize your connections going to the plasma, you can use an A/V receiver as a switch to run all of the connections. Then use the monitor out on the A/V receiver to the plasma.

I would suggest buying some shorter cables. There are many manufacturers out there and I have found that the products from Straightwire to be reasonably priced and offer good performance. If you decide to use the same cable, do not coil in a circle, lay it out in an "S" curves to prevent any signal interference.

If by 4 picture mode, you mean a single screen displaying 4 pictures at one time in a grid, I am not aware of anything on the market that can perform this task as it comes from the factory. One would need a separate video processor to enable this type of function.

You will want to use the best quality cable you can justify purchasing. There is the law of diminishing returns whenever buying cables. The better the cable the better the picture but, the improvement may not justify the increased cost of the cable for your application.

HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI. There are cables on the market that have DVI on one end and HDMI on the other. There are also adaptors for HDMI to DVI. I would suggest the following connection in order from best to worse, HDMI, DVI, Component, S-video, Composite.

I am not aware of any plasma with 5 s-video inputs. There are some on the market with two VGA inputs and can also do the PIP and POP/Split screen functions.
