How do i connect a wii to my panasonic th42px80u plasma tv?

Try to get the proper cables from Monoprice.com

The SC,SD or SU board or all 3 are bad. Isolating these boards will determine if one or all are bad. If you are up to this let me know.

On your remote, click menu, then setup, then external devices, then input labels. Here is a link for manual:

hi all .ive had the same problem,a thick black line down screen.sometimes it flickers from top to bottom and other permantly in view.but i have solved it.forget your ic boards and taking apart tv.have you got either a ps3 or wii connected to tv.if so unplug power lead from socket and relocate in seperate socket.make sure the lead is completely free of any other leads and you might just find this works.i think the power lead creates some sort of frequency that the tv picks up .good luck hope it works

when the power indicator light are blinking, indicate that the TV are in protection mode.
Undo the Back and check for bad caps in the power board, or any blow fuse.

I just got a new panasonic Viera 42" plasma and when its on the picture sharpness is not that good and looks grey is this right

The Wii can display on a HDTV, but keep in mind the output is only 480p. It is not true high definition, and it will only display this using a component video cable. There shouldn't be a difference with LCD and plasma.

You will also need to go to the display settings to force the Wii to display in 480p.

Try a different input (safe to assume your Sony has multiple?) and see if it is that specific input. Also, try a different device like a DVD player or VCR and see if you get the same result.

Good luck.

the wii leads are colour coded look for the colours on tv then switch tv into that input mode e.g ( common or EXT ) make sure wii is on

G'Day!

Unfortunately, what you're describing is a repair issue. You won't be able to address the problem with troubleshooting. There is a part inside the TV that needs to be replaced. If you're under warranty, this will cost you nothing. If you're not under warranty the cost will likely be a minimum of $200 parts and labor. However, be warned that the cost could be considerably higher.

That's probably down to the AV cable. Have you tried it on another TV to eliminate the TV?How are you connecting? Component or Scart adapter? Tried swapping from one to the other to eliminate any possible issues?
