I have this plasma TV and apparently you can unlock a lot of locked features from it to create the spec of a higher spec (sorry) model with a special remote. Any idea where I'd find one?

The web says:

If you hold OK on your remote and on the TV set a menu will appear asking for a code. The default code is 0000.

You need to engage OK on both remote and main panel function. Enter 0000 as pass code.
Press ok on tool option - press right cursor key once to change tool code to 8878 (changes model number to show 50PS6000 and exit.
Switch off (standby) and power back on.
USB menu now shows video sub menu.
Remember to change tool option back to 50PS3000 should you need to sent your panel back under warranty, otherwise you’re on your own.
Works a charm. Only comment is that DIVX video is in SD. I still view my DIVX's via the PS3 as it upscales and the colours aren’t quite so saturated.
NOTE - AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU CHANGE THE SETTINGS AND WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN FIRST.

Thanks, is it THAT risky? I mean these features are designed for the TV anyway. I want it because I won't pick up any 'video' on my HD, just pics and music.

It's a service menu, that isn't the only setting, so just be careful and you'll be fine.
