My email is jr4jane2004@internode.on.net.Thanks in advance. I've not got a receipt but here's a scan from Wednesday's The West Australian newspaper that has the advert for said TV - http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=42227 . There's no model number in the ad but there's only one TV (TH-42PX600A) that has the same stats as the one in the advert. I've also sent a copy to your email address.

I've heard they can come from either country, is this true? thanks Not sure about the 42in, however the 50in I own was manufactured in Japan, as have been all the 50in panels I've checked on shop floors so far. Have a peek behind the back of the set next time your in a store.

I'm looking to purchase tomorrow in Perth and this could help a lot My email address is pana-50-receipt@tanstaafl.com.au Thanks! ballboy said: hey bargainhunter,Just click on the download file button. You'll need to read one of those mangled letter codes and enter it (the ones they use to prevent bot downloads etc). This is correct. If you dont get asked for the captcha you may need to disable any applicable browser addons that may be interfering. Works fine for me in Firefox 2.0.0.1 and IE 7.

tim_golfer2 Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 fishclip, well done posting the link to the ad for the 42". Great price. I need to hep my sister get one of these. Now just need to be careful not to let the shop gouge us on the extended warranty price. Anyone got a receipt for the 42" px600 @ $2500 also showing their extended warranty price (say $250 on top of this??) that they could post to be used for price matching? BTW How do you get a digital recording out of these units given that the digital tuner is built in? The manual seems to only show rca connection to dvd recorder. (not ideal?)

The manual seems to only show rca connection to dvd recorder. (not ideal?) You can not output the Digital signal to a recording device. You need a seperate Digital tuner connected to your DVD recorder. Or the DMREX75 Panasonic STB+HDD+DVDR.
HASH Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Hey guys, iv been watchin this forum for the last week or so. And in the last fortnight i have been shopping around for prices on both the 42/50px600A. Went to Myer's yesterday and with out any haggling i was quoted ($4100 w/5yr warranty for the 50"). Also Nunnawading JB had the 50" advertised for $3999 but they charged $300 for warranty. I yet to get quoted under $3200 for the 42" (w/5yr warr). Is the price that some1 quoted b4 for the 50" @ $3650 add up to $4150 after the 5yr warranty. Cheers Hash ps. I live in melb

Why????

(assuming chinese is of lesser standard, which it may, or may not, be of course) peace of mind is worth a lot when you fork out a heap of dough - personally I would take the jap version any day given the choice.... (no factual basis to this - just my own personal preference!)

My email is jr4jane2004@internode.on.net.Thanks in advance. Hi everyone, If anyone has a receipt for the $2,499 (42PX600a) I'd really appreciate a copy also (dl33ld@hotmail.com). Best i've seen is $2,950 but that's online delivered from Qld (I'm in Sydney). Much rather buy from a physical store. $2,499 sounds almost too good to be true. Great forum btw, looking forward to spending more time here learning and maybe even contributing. Thanks.

I live in melb I believe the prices are as you've guessed,... panel at the lower price and between $4k-$4200 with warranty extended to 5yrs. Some won't do the panel at that sort of price unless you do the extended warranty also. Stupidly I tought I might get an opportunity to 'talk' to a salesman somewhere at Highpoint, (Melb-west); started at Myer, but the place was just too full - didn't have the patience. Was the price you were quoted with their discounts, i.e. 10% sale and 10% MyerOne ? Myer Highpoint had it listed at $5299. Will do my rounds weekend of 13/14 Jan - let the dust settle a bit. Jim.....
