Hi, My Plasma TV TH42PE-50B model has started to do a strange fault ?? The sound control does not work from the remote, I thought it was a faulty remote been dropped once too many times so I bought a new Genuine replacement The next day the old remote is back up and running and works OK and as does the new one Next day ,the sound then was not able to work from either new or old remote , so I turned off TV and on again ... everthing fine This happens now on a regular basis and the fix is on and off Now when your watching a program for the same channel for hours the screen goes dark, and a press of the remote brightens up the screen again I now have an intermitent BLACK ROLLING SCREEN with PANASONIC rolling down on some channels I watch The Tv is a cracking set and picture, I just wondered if this is an internal software fault? or a cheap easy fix Can some one help whom repairs Panasonics to find out should I be lucking to buy a new TV?Hi, Yes its just on internal freeview ... dvds are no problem at all I thought it might be a software glich or need an upgrade by a Panasonic dealer Just worried about the sound, but on off fixes it at present I paid very good money for this TV as you may know, and you can by cheaper Pannys now for better spec, thing is when this TV was launched it was 4 grand new, then they started removing bits to make it cheap SD card slot etc side speakers etc... and I got this when I did like the style as you say... sleak I dont think I can replace it with another panasonic as I dont like them ... and I bought this with at least a five to eight year plan, I think its nealy 4 years old now I thought I would ask the question as it maybe a common fault, and someone in the know could help Panel is fantastic, and I could not want for anything more, my parents bought the new HD ready plasma and the picture is not as good as mine They make them cheaper so are cutting costs whereOh, and I have never claimed on insurance yet I bet those Wii things have upped the replacement tv claims a bit I would get it repaired ... and if not ..its going to be a brill computer monitor
