OK, I know these are really stupid questions, but here I go -
I just got a TH-42PWD5UY, and am trying to set it up. I have a PS2 hooked up through Component video, and I have a VCR that I'm going to hook up to it but I need a RCA to BNC adapter first. But I have a stereo system that I want to run the sound through - How do you output the Audio from the TV to a reciever? I can't figure it out. Do I need to run all the sound to the stereo, and not through the TV - Because I have sound comming from the VCR, DVD player, and PS2?
I also have my computer hooked up, but the manual does not make it very clear what resolutions the TV supports. Can you use a 1600 X 1200 resolution with 85hz refresh rate. I thought I read it could support it on a review at the plasmatvbuyingguide.com website, but I wanted to make sure. If I try to use a signal the TV doesn't support, will it hurt the TV or just not show it? Also, the TV came with ferrite cores for putting around the VGA cable, but the cables I own have built in things at each end that look like the cores - they are the same thing right, so I don't need to use the ones that came with the TV?
My last question is how is this model with burn in. Is it pretty hard to cause burn in with video games and computer signels, or do you need to be really carefull? The Circuit City near my house had on where they just left the title screen to a dvd on it all day - all week, and they said they didn't have a problem, but I wonder if that is really true
Sorry for all the questions, and thanks for the help
