For a PWD7UY
Where can I find the hours used
Thanks

In the service menu. For instructions on how to get into the service menu, click on the link in the first post of this thread.

Thanks mj
Also, the top of my stand (STO7K) does not flush with the bottom of the display.
There is a about 1/4" gap. The screw holes on the two poles do align with the screw holes of the display. I wonder if that is normal.

This is the same with my pwd7uy and the same stand so I would guess that it is normal. The plasma must be resting on the top of the metal poles.

What digit is it in the serial # of the TH-42pwd7uy represents the year of manufacture. I saw it posted a few days ago but can't find it now. TIA

I had the same problem with one of my pana displays in my store, though it was a green line. It was a defect and panasonic covered it under warranty.

Has anyone received a new S-Video blade yet for Panasonic 7UY??

Received mine today. Took about 2 months but it's here, excited to see how it turns out.

I was just testing the speakers out connection on the PWD7UY
but couldn't get any sound out of the speakers.
Volume was at about 22 and no mute.
The manual seems to suggest it would only work with the designated optional speakers.
Anybody has the experience or suggestions.
Thanks

I connected a couple of cambridge soundworks cube speakers to the speaker outputs and they worked beautifully with my pwd7uy.

So no particular settings required?
Also, I was using 8 ohms speakers
I would try other speakers and see what happens.
thanks

Just be sure to use very efficient speakers.

In case anyone is interested, the pq through s-video actually got worse with the new blade installed. There are still the same dancing lines, but now add a nice upward scrolling horizontal bar through any black screen. Very disappointing, i've had another issue with the panasonic that needs to be taken care of by them but they are impossible to deal with/contact. I'm regretting buying the panny monitor.

Hi:
Thanks guys.
Turns out that I didn't plug the wires deep enough to the connectors on the panel.
It's doing fine now.
BTW, I really enjoy the PQ of this unit.
A bargain.

IM so lost....sorry if this is redundant but the more I read the more confused I get. Heres what I want:

a)42" plasma
b)HDTV ready ( not built in I have Directv HD rec)
c) looked at the th-42phd-7uy but since im using it im my bedroom prefer builtin speakers

I looked at the 42-xvs30up & the 42px50up?? Such a wide spectrum in price I am obviously missing something.

Please advise, thanks

So Bruzzi, for my need of plasma TV which is best fit...sorry for the novice type questions..........it seems no need to go with thexvs....which means im left with either ohd or px......I dont want EDTV, since i have HD direct

If you looked at the TH-42PHD7UY and like it, but need speakers, you can always opt to add the speaker kit (Panny Part# TY-SP42P5W-K)

Thank you all . lot of help I think ill go with the 7uy & add the speakers as suggested,,,,,whats not to like Unless you guys tell me there a better bang for the buck on a 42" plasma I should consider ?

Thanks again

Bruzzi,

Thanks for the info.....I also am concerned with the 7uy any service needs would be handled as a carry in, where as the px50u would be in home.

Can you shed some light on why I am finding the px50u ( newest generation) cheaper than its predecessor px25u?? seems odd to me

thanks as always

All true, but it also seems fair to suggest that the PX500U is the real successor to the PX25U. The 50 series has a stripped down feature set compared to the 25's, part of the reason Panasonic could drop the MSRP so drastically.

Hi is the th-42PX50U out yet I think this is the one for me
thanks

hi all, i was trying to get into the service menu of my pd25u with the instructions on bruzzi thread but could not, can some tell me step by how to do this, and would having a cable card in my unit make it harder to do?

Hi all:
I am considering using a VGA/component breakout cable connection to utilize the PC input on PWD7UY. Are there issues with it like color etc..
Thanks
