Instuction maual for hitachi plasma tv model no P50X01AU

The change actually has to be made with your cable/satellite service's remote control. On the cable remote you should have a #hd zoom button. On the satellite remote it may be format, aspect, or a setting within the menu. The cable/satellite box's menu will also have a setup section where you make sure the resolution is 16:9 1080i fixed. Make sure to disable the 4:3 override as well. Then you use the button on your tv remote to further adjust it with cinema, panoramic, full, or zoom.

That depends on your country, who you purchased it from and any dealos that you have been given at the point of sale.
Yes, a mine field!

I would open back and check all boards for cracks, this is a problem with these sets.Then count the blinks on the set and see if it stops for a moment and starts back.

Look for bad capacitors they will be vented or puffed up onTop.

you need to unplug power cord from back of tv and let it set for awhile then plug back into the back of the tv i also have a plasma and it sometimes does that also

The unit senses a fault in the power circuit. It is either in the power supply unit (PSU) peripherals or in the PSU itself.

• One of the peripherals might be loading down the PSU causing it to shutdown.

1. Check the power input terminals of the peripherals for any short circuit using an ohmmeter.
   
2. Replace any part found to be causing the issue.

• The power supply unit cannot run under load and shuts down. It is usually caused by bad capacitors.
  

1. Check the PSU board for any bad capacitor.
2. Replace bad capacitors with the same specifications.
3. Make sure to replace the capacitors in correct polarity.
4. Bad capacitors look like these:

Hope you already resolve it, if not, here what I went through 1. Try to get a service manual for your model ($10-18) from http://www.service-docs2.com or similar place. 2. Open the back and follow instructions how to remove and test the SDR-D and SDR-U board on the far left (take one off, see if you could see half the picture). Inpsect the chips on those two boards, you might be able to spot the burned out holes (that would be the defected board, seemed to be a known issue for particular models) 3. If it is the board, go to ebay and get the pulled out board replacement ($70-90) I fixed my 50 inch plasma this way

My Polaroid TV 3211 TLXB (2007) was working fine, turned it off and now won't power up, volts on power supply are normal, red light is on. Control boxes are avaiable. Could this be the most likley problem and are they interchanable with other similsr sets. ? Thanks for any help

I had the same thing with my PS3 on a samsung 40". Try pressing the power button down on the PS3 for 5 secs or more, until it beeps (Not sure if it's one beep or a series of). I think this is how you reset the system and it should automatically recognise and reset the resolution size to HD on you're screen. Hope this helps,

Andy.
