HP PL4245N No Longer Works with Non-DVI Input...

posted by TonyVT on Dec 31, 2007


Hello,

I have 2 year old HP PL4245N 42" HD-Ready Plasma TV. All analog communication seems to have stopped. The only "working" input is the DVI. The DVI port is connected directly to the Verizon FiOS TV service. 

I have tried connecting the DVD player/recorder with component cables and composite cables with no luck. Audio works fine, however. I simply do not have the ability to use the TV for anything other than the digital or FiOS cable.

This "seems" to be a major component failure. I am out-of-warranty. I purchased the 42" Plasma TV for $2,362.99  on Jul 17, 2005  I am completely frustrated, upset, and distraught.  I really don't know what to do next.  HP is unsupportive.

My work-around solution is to plug my DVD, Wii, and Cable TV, via component cables, into my Denon AVR-2105 Audio/Receiver, then take a component (3 cables) out of the receiver and then into a *converter box, out of the *converter box then into the DVI input of my HP PL4245N

*The converter box that I am referring to is:
1T-YPbPr-DVI

I would be most appreciative if you have any suggestions.

Sincerely,
