Bronze Member Username: DscrobeReading, PA USA Post Number: 14 Registered: Dec-05 | I have come across two Panasonic plasma TV's where the picture will freeze up while watching digital and/or HD channels. This won't happen during analog channel viewing. Is anyone experiencing this? |

SET THE AUTO wizard (read your manual) Since broadcasters use all of these you must enable them all or it won't look right. Most TVs are preseted for TV tuners in case you tune externally: In receiver/cable box set advanced setup to enable all: * 480 standard * 480i * 480p * 720i * 720p * 1080i followed by the wizard for auto switching If one of these not enabled will cause poor quality on LCD/Plasma/or DLP Wizard will allow your receiver or tuner to detect broadcast aspect ratio/resolution but is up to you to set it for auto switch including auto stretching 4:3 and keeping 16:9 so you don't have to mess with that either. If this doesn't fix all HD/SD problems - Ask King first IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RUN BOTH SATELITE AND CABLE or antenna with one Coax cable.

I think th auto wizard you are referring to is the Auto Program that you normally go thru when running TV for first time. However, manual for Panasonic TH-37PX50U says the auto program is not available for tuner cards. |
