Hi,

Can anyone email me the RS232 protocol document for a Panasonic TH-42PWD4 Plasma?

I'll owe you one!

Best Regards,

Thats easy...

pwr on = \x02PON\x03
pwr off = \x02POF\x03
Input Vid = \x02IIS:VID\x03
Input RGB1 = \x02IIS:RG1\x03
Input RGB2 = \x02IIS:RG2\x03
Mute on = \x02AMT:1\x03
Mute off = \x02AMT:0\x03

Thats all i can remeber. Do you need VOL +/- ?

Actually, I am putting together a demo of a touchscreen system and need the full two way protocol. How do I query for input, aspect ratio etc.

Thanks for these though. Hopefully, you or someone else can email me the full protocol.

Thanks, wish I'd looked at Panasonic's website before I posted. I owe you one Brijaws!

I am trying to control my Panny Plasma from my Pc to switch back to Component in for the wife to watch telly, i was trying to test using windows hyperterminal but i cant seem to get anything to work, i have tested the cable and it is fine, has anyone done it with hyperterminal or can anyone recomend a program that will work, i dont really care what it is as long as i can get it to work.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Are you sure you are using the correct cable? Baud rate?

yes i think so, its a male 9 pin one end with a femail 9pin other, pins 2 and 3 are crossed and pin 5 is straight through, pins 7 and 8 are jointed at plasma end.

Baud Rate is 9600

Hyperterminal is a wierd beast. It doesn't always like to talk to serial interfaces that are not a modem. Go figure. Try using MTTTY, a very straightforward comm program. Works perfect for what you are trying to do and will remove any doubt about HT. There is a recent release hosted at Winsite.

thank you ill try that

On the last Panny I touched I noticed what I beleive was an incorrect pin out in the manual. You may want to try a null modem adaptor before going crazy.
