No. AVS has gotten better over the past few months and my settings being posted here will benefit the community. A lot more to come

I'm pretty much done with Panasonic in that manner. I have not nor will I be doing this type of monitoring for Panasonic products.

Glad to be back

I will have the cal reports for each model up by tomorrow.

Thanks. Its known and does not affect anything.

It does not hurt to try. However, I do not know what the end result will be.

You should be ok, but I do need to provide updated setting for the later ST models.
