| I've had my 42" Panasonic plasma for a little over two years. Until a few months back I had no idea my TV might have a disk drive. Then I began to hear a noise like something was spinning. I first noticed it one day when I had muted the sound.
Does my TV have a disk drive? If so, what does it do? If so, could it have been making noise all along and I just didn't know it? I briefly looked on the Net. No, I've never read the owner's manual. A site or two spoke of TV's and disk drives but I'm unsure to what they referred. Thanks, Gene |

| My guess is that you are hearing one of the TV's cooling fans. It is summer now and maybe your house is warmer than it was a few months ago. Just to be sure, what is the model number of your Panasonic TV? |

| Thanks. Model TH-42PX600U. A cooling fan was not even considered. It makes sense that a large plasma TV might have one, or two. Sure makes better sense than me thinking it might have a hard drive. They really do get hot, don't they. About a year ago I bought a 5 speaker Samsung DVD system. I left the TV on when installing (probably wrong) and really could feel the heat. Thanks again. Gene |

| If it's definitely plasma, I'd guess fans. If it's a DLP then it could be the mirror thing spinning. |
|
| Yup. It's a fan. No hard drive in that TV. |

| DLP would be a color wheel on a non LED model. |
