Sorry, no mp4, only AVCHD, MPEG2 and JPEG are supported.

That is a Digital Audio Output.

Audio system that support optical input, such as surround sound receiver, can use this as an input.

I know it can hook up to receiver/AV amp but the optical data is from what source? from the TV RTM channel? wow?

If you watch sports or music video or concert from astro or even normal tv channel....the sound from amp is better than listening to ur tv puny speaker. So hard to grasp the idea meh? rolleyes.gif

can always use the RCA stereo cable to do it like it has been done for ages.. it's not like the terrestrial antenna source is so Hi fidelity to warrant using Digital connection..

in any case if astro is so hi fi, I would route the Astro box signal directlt to the amp, not via the TV with astro RCA , convert it to Digital and then back to the amp..

I don't have the TV.. But I believe the optical out can extract the sound from HDMI connection to your amp..

Either you watch tv or BD just set the amp to same input..
*
shouldn't the source like BD player's HDMI go to amp then HDMI it to TV?

why BD to TV (HDMI) then to Amp (optical?)

A possibility is to allow any sound source connected to the tv and then be optically connected to the amp.

Just a suggestion

hmm.. maybe.. more of convenience feature then..

Hmm... was wondering if the TV Upscale the sound to optical quality b4 sending to amp thru optical cable!!? tongue.gif

I just have to add, testing it out first is believing

Panasonic can produce duds as well, believe me, I've seen them (the amplifier tv stand *groan*) nod.gif
*
dun think so.. if the astro sound is analog stereo RCA, then hooking up the astro direct to amp is better than going to TV via RCA, then digitize it and pass it back to the amp via optical..

Not all people have AV receiver that supports HDMI input.  In fact AV that supports HDMI are only common in the last 2 years. So the optical input is pretty useful here.

the TV has optical output.. not optical input.. thanks! smile.gif

Very much less, but the reflection is still there. But not that noticable. When I have my X10 previously. the glaring is almost unacceptable during daytime, I have to use blackout curtain for my 3 panel sliding door to totally prevent daytime light from coming in.

I wonder how it compared to so called LED tv ? tongue.gif

I just have one issue.
My young daughter smeared the screen. Glass cleaner is a big NO-NO, rite? Is the anti-glare coating located inside or outside the glass panel? Which type of cloth suiteable for the job? Please recommend...

Tried and the dry cloth just made the oily print even worse. Only able to get rid them after using diluted glass cleaner.
Finger crossed I didn't ruin the surface coating.

ohmy.gif although I never tried to use glass cleaner on my LCD/Plasma/Projector.. all the advise I read online and in mags say never use Glass cleaner..

hope nothing happens in the long run, like a permanent wipe streak.. sad.gif

ok. i receive my purchase on sunday 4.7.09. the panel is still few days old. im letting it go because i cant stand to surf internet using a flicker display.  for watching hd movie, its extremely great. (dont take my word for it, watch the revieew in the internet). i bought it 3800. im selling it 3400 because the lowest price i can see is 3500. i already lost rm 400. payment is cash only. full panasonic warranty and support(i havent regster for warranty yet so you can). its only few days old. cash only. you have to come to my house to pick the panel. you can also test in my house. i live in bangi lama. anyone interested, can pm me.

maybe it's just G.card problem.. should try a low cost 200-300 bucks ATI card.. before writing off the display..??

Viewing distance approx 10 ft sad.gif

50inch diag is around 4.2ft

10ft is like nearly 2.5x diag screen size..

and 2.5x quite a normal ratio when viewing HD source..

infact I usually sit 2x or nearer from screen.. laugh.gif

I'm using peasant 50" 720p display with distance of 10ft. Just nice for me, no need to upgrade to 1080p cos it will not make a difference.

I went to the Tan Boon Ming Old Klang Road yesterday evening and Mr Kong quoted me and suggested me these two items instead :-

Hitachi p42e102A - 2970

Panasonic Viera THp42c10k - 3050

LG pq30 42 inch plasma HD ready - 2720

And when i went thru all the posts in this forum most of them suggested that it's better to with panasonic viera thpc42s10k since the price is not much different.

I called mr kong again and he quoted me 3699 without any freebies .What do u think ?

Where did u get ur s10k if u don't mind to share ?

Thanks.

the price was cheaper for the S10 last month due to promo..

not sure what is the best price now.. maybe you can PM htkaki..
