Panasonic VT20 Owners Thread

Is there any degradation in the picture quality after the repair? Also, out of curiosity, how many usage hours is it showing in the service menu of your TV?

none in both 2d or 3d.
as for usage hours i will check up and post.

Also, out of curiosity, why are u interested in the usage hours?

To gauge the longevity of plasma TVs in general. I myself own a Panasonic plasma TV and just want to know how long I can realistically expect my plasma TV to function before something gives out.

Hi Guys!
Of late I am having problem with sound on my tv.
Its as if the speakers are bursting especially when you watch movies.
Conversations are clear. News can be heard clearly.

Any way i can check what is wrong with the set without opening the back cover?
Both the speakers cant go bad simultaneously.
I suspect it is the audio board.
Is a fresh board available?

Is a service manual available for this set?
thanks in advance

Anyone has any idea
1. which board needs replacement for 10 blinks,
2. if the boards are still available (in Pune)
3. the cost thereof
Or is it time to let it go after exactly 9 years!

BTW I have already had 11 blinks 3 times during lifetime. Had cleaned the fans and it had started working all 3 times.
