Welcome back Marty...it's been awhile since you bought that Hitachi in 2004. If you scroll down you will find a dedicated thread for the G-10 series and you can get your information there.

I ordered this set last night. What settings should I use for the first 100 hours?It depends - do you plan on breaking it in during the first 100 hours? If not, just lower the Contrast setting so the screen isn't very bright.

Several people have posted their regular settings in the G10 thread, and the Settings/Issues thread has settings for break in when using the break in images.

Can anyone of you please post the link for the "G10 thread"

Watch full screen material for the first 100 hours or so and enjoy the experience.

So I had a friend download and burn me a a copy of Evangelo2's Break-in DVD in Post #1 of the The Official Panasonic 12G Settings/Issues Thread within the Plasma section for my new Panasonic 50X1.

However, when I played it in my DVD player I noted about 30 chapters that appear to have content that is 45 minutes long each. Each is identical material.

The problem is that when I play the 1st chapter it flashes each color for less than a second and the chapter finishes in about 5 seconds, and I can't get my crappy old DVD player to play all chapters in succession. Instead I just looped the first chapter and every 5 seconds it repeats which I think gets the job done.

My assumption is that my friend screwed up the burning of this DVD or something but, I just wanted to check with you experts out there to ensure that my loop method with the super short color flashes (as if the DVD player was stuck in super duper fast forward mode) was okay and that I am not sacrificing anything because my DVD doesn't allow the colors to stay on the screen for a long time and slowly fade (as I understand the actual DVD is supposed to do).

Also, can this same DVD break-in be used for all Plasmas no matter the brand? I just got a free LG 42PG10 and just want to be sure it is okay to run this DVD with it as well.

Thanks,
Walt
