I agree, adjustments in the service menu should be done only if u know what u r doing. Adjusting the wrong item can cause damage to ur set. Also adjustments of grayscale and colour as well as gamma can only be done with a colorimeter or a spectrophotometer.

I got one yesterday...how to check the counter...coz i feel that my unit is display set.
The packing look like been opened before when delivered to me.
When i call to the shop, it say they open up to ramdom check it. See got cracks or any thing wrong with the unit.
They say it is 100% not display set... but i dun quite believe.

The counter means numbers of times "on" the plasma set or how many hours?

Please help.

Thanks.

Check out the Panasonic PV80 thread, the last few pages has the instructions. The X10 employes the same method to check the hours.

This is the one. Should work.

Let us know the results and the shop name, so we can blacklist it.

Thanks for all replies..will get back to u all tonight.

any possible way to split the p42x10k screen to half so that i can watch 2 astro programs at the same time?

I don't think so, X10 doesn't even have PIP mode.

FINALLY ! My X10 reach adulthood, break-in for 130 hours as of this morning

Even if the TV can split screen, you can't watch 2 different Astro programmes if you only have 1 decoder.

astro max has 2 tuners inside, although can't watch 2 channels simultaneously, record 1 channel and watch another is possible.

Tumpang thread.Who wants to buy my SDR S26 camcorder since I have one at home already.Willing to let go below 900 but only in Penang.

hi all, how long can a plasma last? as durable as conventional crt tv? my mom is using 7-yr old 29" crt and is still alive & kicking; plan to get one for her as mother's day gift, she is an astro fanatic (>10 hr on avg) so plasma should be a right choice eh? thks~

There will be a possibility of IR on plasma since she is Astro fanatic as reported by phat_newbie on his Pana plasma tv. Plasma tv cld last up to 100,000hours according to Panasonic website. You may find out the details there.

LCD TV would be better choice but ghosting might be an issue. Moreover, there are rare cases where IR happened too.

30 years panel life claimed by manufacturer, should give us 30 years warranty to back up their claim

Thanks bro, i tried and everything work fine. Only problem i face is i can't press the "on" on plasma to quit.
(I have to switch off the TV set and on back)
And i also got the information i need.
Total time is 78 mins and counts = 25!!!

Which mean the set i got is not a new one. The most i on n off the TV set 5 times.

Yes, i have to agreed the shop give me a very good price.
It is RM33xx with free gift w/ 3 yrs warranty or RM35xx with free gifts w/ 5 yrs warranty.

Anyway, i hv call up the shop and the first time he told me it is 100% new but promise he will check with his HQ.
The second time he call, i told him i manage to get in the service manual and told him about the time n count.
Quickly he told me he not sure what the HQ have done and he will call to ask his big boss.

Lastly, today he call and say he agreed to change a new set for me and meanwhile ask me to use this set first.
I will update the status here when i got the new one.

Thanks for everyone help...btw this plasma is really good n i like it very much!

good job man!!

bro can u tell us where did u buy it.. thanx

30 years warranty to back their claim. They will go bust, bro.
