Well the answer to that is simple, due to the complexity and the DIY craze, TV repair work is at best a good way to make extra money, not to rely on it for your livelihood. A sad truth, but a truth nonetheless.

Question Hi,
I just set up my brand new Panasonic 42" PG10 series plasma television with a Panasonic home theatre system. Everything works well with the exception that when I'm in Veira Cast mode I can't get sound through my theatre system, only through the television. I have it hooked up with a HDMI cable, and reading through the troubleshooting sections in the manuals don't seem to address this particular problem. I'm wondering if I need to run an optical audio cable with the HDMI or am I missing something. (by the way, I don't have cable or dish yet so that's why Veira Cast is the only way I have to test the sound coming from the set. the theatre system works fine on DVD's and tuner mode.)
Answer Hello Nate,
The HDMI should be all you need. This tells me that what ever is processing the audio while in Veria Link mode is not working. Try running the audio cable to see if there is any audio. in addition check to make sure that the audio feed to the Home theater system (HTS)is working to. This might be a point also; what cables are feeding your HTS are they coming from the TV's audio out. If they are I would suggest that you check your settings and make sure the TV's audio out jacks are turned on.
