I have Radioshack wireless headphones with a 30 foot range. I cannot hook them up to my new Panasonic Viera 42 inch HD T.V. - The "audio outlet" is a square and the headphones only have red and white plugs on them. What kind of adapter plug do I need to get for the square shaped (about 3/4 inch square) inlet in my T.V.?

Hi there.

At present, the square connector is what is called an "Optical" connector.  It's purely digital and transmits digital data via what looks to us like a RED LIGHT.  Your headphones are incompatible. Your heaphones have an analog connection on RCA Phono type connections.  The type you usually get on the back of hifi equipment.

The pannasonics DO have a headphone socket, but it is the small 3.5mm type socket.  a small round hole that looks slightly larger than a pin head.  It normally has a small diagram of a pair of headphones above or below the socket to indicate what it is.

 

In order to connect your headphones to your set you will need a stereo,male 3.5mm jack to two RCA Phono jacks. 

 

If your current lead on your headphones has "male" ends, the red and white ends should have silver or gold points sticking out.

If your current lead on your headphones has "female" ends, the red and white ends should have silver or gold surrounds with holes in.

 

With this in mind, if you have male ends you will require a stereo 3.5mm jack to stereo female Rca Phono vice versa so that they basically lock into eachother forming a "Constant chain".

 

I have tried to explain this as best I can, I hope you've managed to get the idea of what I'm saying.

 

 

 

You will either need this :

or this :

Sometimes the colours of connectors vary.  Just remember that Red to Red (for right hand side)  and White to White or Black To White  or Black To Black (for left)

I have cracked the screen it made a flash then nothing now a light blinks can it be repaired only 2 months old

The screen itself cannot be repaired - only replaced. Since it is the most expensive component in the entire unit, it is probably not cost effective to pay the cost of repairing it. Between the price of the part itself and the labor to replace it, you can probably find another unit somewhere on sale for less.

I STILL CARNT LINK MY FACE BOOK WITH MY PANASOIC SMART VIERA IT SAYS INVALED TOKEN I HAVE RESTORED IT BACK TO SHIPPING SETTINGS ALSO I HAVE TURNED THE VIERA LINK ON AND STILL NOHING ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS

Resetting your TV should make your TV create a new Facebook token. This token should then be entered on your computer at www.facebook.com/device.

A tutorial on how to reset your TV can be found at http://shop.panasonic.com/docs/how-to/2013/tv/reset-procedure/How_to_Reset_your_Panasonic_Viera.html

My sony wireless headphones will not work with my new 32" Veira TV when I plug them into the audio ports white/red?

Hi,All the RCA sockets are inputs so you won't be able to plug in your heaphone transmitter into those.
From what I can gather you will need to plug the headphone transmitter into the 3.5mm Jack socket located on the right hand side of the TV near the RCA sockets.

If you only have RCA plugs on your heaphone transmitter you will need one of these pictured below.

You can get them from Maplins electronics or Radioshack if in the us or any good audio outlet.

Hope this helps.
