Service menu codes for P42H401 plasma - Hitachi P42H401 42 in. Plasma HDTV

There is probably an overscan option in the TV menu. Make sure that is off. Otherwise, adjust the resolution on the computer to fit correctly.

Check software version and see if there is an upgrade, website

1. Use CURSOR PAD ,
to highlight functions.
2. Press the SELECT button or CURSOR PAD  to select Reset the Software Menu.

to access the Reset TV settings option.
4. Select the "YES" option to Reset ALL the TV functions during the next main power on/off.
If this does not fix it I would advise taking it to the service center for repairs

Maryann,
You should have an RCA cable connector with your DVD player (three wire connector color coded yellow, red, white). If you plug one end of that into your DVD player (out) and into the input #1 in the back of your TV that should be sufficient. Then just select from the input menu on your Tv to watch that input. You do this by the buttons on the lower left of the TV. One is marked "input/exit". Pressing that button should bring-up your input menu then use "menu/select" button to select input 1 and try playing the DVD...
I do have the owner and service manual if you need it just let me know...
