Dear Wise Men,
I am new to the world of technical expertise. Your patience and indulgence are appreciated. With self-flagellation behind me, allow me to pose my question.
In short, my new Panasonic Viera (TC-P50G10) is not displaying my Intel iMac 5.2.; this despite the fact that the iMac recognizes the Panasonic in the Detect Display feature. What am I doing wrong?
My connection is as follows.
A mini-dvi-to-HDMI adapter is connected to the mini-dvi port of the iMac.
An HDMI cable connects from one end of that adapter to the television's HDMI2 port.
(Audio is unimportant to me at this time)
When I cycle from the TV input to the HDMI2 input then the display switches to black -- as if there is nothing connected. I have tried to use the iMac's "mirror the display" feature and, still, nada.
When I reviewed the Panasonic's manual I noticed that the discussion concerning computer connections seems to revolve around the -- um -- the RGB PC cable (and possible need for adapters). What's more, computer image resolution matters/options such as Sync, Dot Clock, Clock Phase, among others, seem accessible only when I cycle to the PC input, not when I cycle to any other input, be it TV or HDMI. In short, I wonder if this means that a computer connected to the TV must be connected to the RGB PC port; in other words, a computer connected to an HDMI port will not display on the TV.
Does anyone have experience in this matter? Have I overlooked something? Insight is welcome.
Thank you.
P.S. My email to Panasonic should be answered within the next two/three days. I will post the reply here, in hopes that it will prove useful to others.
