Sorting parent's tv to Hi Def

duncan32

Hello all,

My mum and dad have a Panasonic TX-32LXD60.
They have had it for a little while, and I noticed a couple of weeks ago that they had a scart lead running from it into the tv, so I checked whether they got hi-def, and my Dad said yes, it was part of their VIRGIN package. So, I told him that they weren't watching it, and I have bought him a HDMI cable. I went round this morning and put the HDMI cable between the VIRGIN box and the tv.

Then I tried to change the picture that they are receiving to Hi def. That's where my success ended.

Would anyone be able to give me an idea of what I need to do to do this, please? I assume it's something to do with the AV button on the remote, but I just couldn't get my head around it while my mum and dad were watching (and trying to "help"! :mad:)

Thanks in advance!

Did you check the settings in the virgin box to make sure it's set to output in HD?

Yeh, I think so. I changed it on a menu that came up to HD, but it said something like press ok, wait 30 seconds and then it just changed back.

Tbh, it's not easy to recall exactly what I did, without being at my parent's house...

- which remote the Pace box or the Pana tele ?
- were you on a HD channel at the time ?
- was the tele MENU set to 1080 - 16/9 ?
- anything else like a DVD or upscaler connected to HDMI2 ?

It will almost certainly be your tele so:
- select ESPN HD on the Virgin box
- put the HDMI cable to HDMI1 on the tele
- pull out the scart that you were using before HDMI and the terrestrial ariel
- and the tele will default to HDMI

Try connecting your Pace box to a-n-other HDMI port ! DVD's or DVD upscalers which have a digital track should always go on HDMI2 and cable/satellite box's on HDMI1.
