Getting Familiar With The New Plasma TV
Before this generation of plasma TV, Panasonic has always used the double scan system in
their HD plasma TV. In this generation, the 37" and the 42" HD models utilized the single
scan system.
The earlier production of HD 42" models have 3 fans and the HD 50" models contain 4
fans. Normally there will only be 2 fans in the HD 42" models and 3 fans in the HD 50"
models.

Differences Between 8th and 9th Generations
1. No Data Drive Circuit Boards (C Boards) for 37" and
42" models (PD60U, PX6U, PX60U, & PX600U) at
the top of the TV.
2. The PA board is back where it originally was in the 6th
Generation models.
3. No PB board (Fan Drive and Audio +B)
4. No Z board (Audio Amp.)
5. The D board is now hidden under the DG board.
6. No DV board
7. Different Digital Tuner (Optical Jack is on the right)
8. The SD and SU boards are flipped, showing the
component side.
The differences between the 8th and the 9th generation are explained here.

D board Location
The purpose of this picture is to show the new location of the D board, which seats below
the DG and the DT boards. Unlike the previous generation, there's not any access to this
board.

Digital Tuner/HDMI Connector
When an ATSC channel is selected, the output of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack
is Dolby Digital. When a NTSC channel is selected, the output is PCM.
Since the TV does not have a DV board, this picture shows the new location of the HDMI
connectors (2). These connectors are located on the DG board. The previous models only
had 1 HDMI connector.

SC, SU, and SD Boards
The component side of the SU and SD boards is now visible without removal.

Inputs
This picture shows the CableCARD slot, the Antenna terminal, the HDMI input connectors,
and the PC input connector.

HDAVI
HDAVI control
Enables unified control between compatible Panasonic products
connected via the HDMI cable, so you can, for instance, control
multiple compatible Panasonic A/V products from a single
remote.
The new EZ-Sync
This might look like just another so-called universal remote.
But universal remotes are really not 'universal' at all. What
they do is combine a bunch of incompatible controllers into
one case. Playing a DVD with a DTS soundtrack with a
universal remote requires pushing just as many buttons as
using three separate remotes.
