Can i connect my panasonic viera th-42px8ou plasma tv,to my vista desk top? my tv has hdmi on it,my vista tower also says it has 1 hdmi connector on the back of it

Are the speakers' cables connected correctly? (p. 37) Is "Sound Mute" active? (p. 13) Is the volume set to the minimum? Is "Speaker output" set to "Off"? (p. 22) Change "SAP" settings. (p. 16) Check "HDMI 1 in", "HDMI 2 in" or "HDMI 3 in" settings. (p. 22)
Hope this helps, page# refer to your manual.

Will not buy anymore panasonic t.v.'s again

The manual for this TV can be found here. If you are watching broadcast television, or cable TV service that does NOT require use of a set top "cable box" tuner, you would connect the coax cable from the UHF / VHF antenna or cable into the ANT cable connector on the rear of the TV as shown on page 8 & 9 in the manual.

You would then tell the TV setup to scan for available channels as shown on page 12 of the manual.

If you are using a seperate tuner - like those supplied by Cable TV, Dish, DirectTV, Satellite, etc. you should use (1) the HDMI 1, 2 or 3 inputs (HD) 720P and up; (2) the RGB inputs of AV2 for best picture quality 720P or better (HD), (3 & 4) the AV1 & AV3 (on the side next to HDMI) for 480i and possibly 480P (SD) and finally the ANT connector for 480i. If you have a computer that offers VGA jack to connect to an external monitor, use the PC connector on th erear of the TV to send it HD images.

Good luck!

sounds like you need to update firmware

connect your blue ray and your dish net with hdmi cables to the amplifier than monitor out hdmi to tv .in your dvd configuration you must make sure that hdmi audio is activated .ps not to be mean but this is a very low quality dvd because it does not have fiber optique audio output but it can still work, for your dis net it all depends on what type of digital audio output
is available , ill be honest with you this is a good job .

if your tv dose not have viera cast and if viera csat does not offer netflix
you will have to connect your computer directly to the tv with hdmi

Here is the back of your panel. As you can see you have 2 HDMI inputs. Good luck!

Hi there
I've just looked at that TV model, and it appears that your TV does not support a separate audio connection for HDMI sockets. It also appears that your laptop model has a issue with sending audio via HDMI. Are you running Linux, or windows?
Hope this helps

Using HDMI? Unplug connectors and plug back in.

Right click onyour desktop and click properties (Windows XP) or personalize (Windows Vista).
Click the tab that says Settings(XP) or the link that says Display Settings (Vista)
Adjust your resolution by sliding the bar up or down until your dispaly matched the optimum resolution of your TV.
