madent Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Ok... A technician came out on Anzac day to upgrade my LG 42PC1DG plasma to fix the channel 9 freezing problem that occured in 1000's of Lg's... I have just recently bought a panasonic dvd recorder (dmr-ex85) and have this connected to the Lg Plasma through the HDMI connection.... When the guy was here upgrading the firmware on the Lg plasma, I saw a message appear on the dvd recorder front display saying "U71" I asked the tech why was that happening and he said it was nothing to do with what he was doing as the plasma was turned off during the firmware upgrade...So I thought no more about it.. But then it just kept appearing everytime i turned on the tv...the panasonic would flash "U71" on the display 3 times and then the picture and sound would come on (thru HDMI)... When i looked in the panasonic manual...U71 is an error message.. The manual states the error U71 as... "The Connected equipment is not HDMI compatable" Now I never noticed this message before the upgrade to the Lg plasma, So I have to wonder if the Lg "Fix" has "F***ed" something else.. cheers...

madent Posted May 12, 2007 Author Posted May 12, 2007 Ok...Update on this...all good now The tv tech that came out took this onboard and contacted both LG and Panasonic... LG immediately denied it was an LG problem (No Mystery there) Panasonic looked further into it... Seems there was a report of the U71 error happening on a philips plasma as well... Panasonic sent out a firmware upgrade to my tv tech which he burnt to a cd.... Ran the firmware upgrade on my dmr ex85 and it fixed the problem..... Also, before the firmware upgrade was done, i took the panasonic back to harvey norman to test it on several brands of tv... Sure enough, the only 2 that caused the u71 error code to display were the LG and the philips... Cheers

mtv Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Do you have a copy of the firmware update ? Do you realise this thread is almost 3 years old? Have you tried the manufacturers websites for firmware?
