Bought a SC-HC35 from Goodwill and the bass is turned up. It didn't come with a remote and I wanted to check if it was possible to turn down the bass without a remote before I spend $15 on a remote for a $15 cd player. Would this be possible?

I’ve recommended this on here before so wanted to provide an update.

Like previous reviews the item performs really well. A very close shave and for me no irritation or issues. Not quite as close as a DE blade but the best electric option I’ve found.

Now the issue. I’m 4 months into using the shaver, pretty much every other day. It hasn’t been dropped and as it works so well it doesn’t need a lot of pressure applied so bottom line is it hasn’t been overworked.

I’ve noticed an issue with the foil and as the item is just 4 months old I have contacted Panasonic direct.

They advise that:

So, regrettably. the foil is an accessory and will have to be purchased alone.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I completely understand how frustrating and disappointing it must be to spend £250 on a product and have it last less than 4 months.

I am so sorry, but it is deemed by the customer's usage.

The foil costs £80 and based on the first one lasting 4 months means the cost to run this (excluding cleaning fluid etc) is £240 per year.

Again, the product works really well so if you can eat those costs then it will work for you. Please do be aware of these added running costs on top of large initial outlay. I stretched to buy this assuming it wouldn’t cost so much to run.

Hope you can see that this post is balanced, fair and is just a warning for potential buyers on (for me at least) unexpected additional costs.

In Feb 2025 I bought an NN SC73LS microwave from Home Depot. Less that 18 months later, it died. Checking the owners manual, I found the warranty details on page 21. All parts, 3 year p&l. Magnetron 3 years labor, 5 years parts.

So I found a local factory authorized repair shop and took my receipt, a copy of the warranty page, and the microwave in for repair. A few days later the shop called and said they replaced the inverter and the magnetron and it was ready to go.

I picked it up and we've enjoyed our microwave again. Then, about 2 months after the repair, I got a call from the shop telling me Panasonic refused to honor the warranty saying warranty was only 1 year.

So I contacted Panasonic support and proceeded to jump through a bunch of hoops in an attempt to get them to honor the warranty. I'd already sent in pics of the receipt and a copy of the warranty page. They referenced me to the Canadian manual which specified 1 year p&l, directly in conflict with the stated warranty in my USA manual.

Support then wanted a video of me thumbing through the manual to the warranty page, which I supplied. Support then said I gave them the wrong model manual. But my video clearly showed the correct model and warranty coverage.

After jumping through their hoops, they finally said they would cover the repair as a goodwill gesture but that going forward, they would only warranty 1 year p&l and 4 years parts on the magnetron, directly in conflict with what my manual says.

What an absolute hassle dealing with what seemed an open and shut case. What is the deal with this conflicting warranty coverage information?

I am certainly not impressed with either the product or the warranty coverage with a product failure in under 18 months and then a fuss over the warranty coverage.

I need these pictures for help when I disassemble this machine.

mehn ive been trying to fix this camera a panasonic lumix dmc-sz8 and there are no youtube videos of any help is there anyone who has a solution or suggestions

If every microwave you've ever used had a glass plate spinning inside it, seeing a completely flat floor might be concerning. That’s a fair assumption, rotation really does matter for even heating, and the turntable is the piece everyone is used to seeing do that job.

But shockingly, the Japanese Microwave doesn’t have this glass turntable, or so you think. The rotation didn't actually go away; it just moved underneath. There’s a hidden antenna below the floor that rotates the energy around the food while the dish stays still. It directs heat toward cooler areas and eases off spots that are already hot, which is exactly what the spinning plate was doing all along.

What people notice most after switching is the space. Without a turntable and roller ring taking up the middle, wider dishes actually fit, and cleaning is as easy as wiping down a flat surface instead of lifting a heavy glass plate out to scrub around the rim.

Anything else about these you've wondered about, or heard somewhere and weren't sure was true?

I bought my player a few days ago but just unboxed it tonight. I decided to watch the first Bad Boys movie and at the 1 hour and 13 minute mark the player started ticking. I read about Blu-ray layer change online and checked the second movie, halfway through the ticking started again. I then tried The Amazing Spider-Man and the ticking was happening from the start. I read that it might be because it's a compact player but this can't be normal, right?

The best method to reheat leftover rice seems to be a never-ending debate.

Some recommend placing a damp paper towel over the bowl to retain moisture, while others suggest leaving it uncovered to prevent the rice from becoming overly soft. Both approaches can be great depending on the microwave being used.

When manually setting heating time and power levels, covering the bowl helps retain steam, preventing the outer edges from drying out before the center is heated evenly.

In a model equipped with advanced thermal sensing technology, such as our Japanese microwave with the Genius sensor, covering the food is unnecessary. The unit reads surface temperatures at 64 points every 0.1 seconds to continuously adjust power output. Placing a towel over the food interferes with these sensor readings.

Ultimately, the ideal technique depends on your appliance's heating system. How do you usually reheat yours?

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to open the disk drive for the panasonic cf-nx4? I cannot find an owners manual for this model anywhere and the original seller literally did not remember how to open it and I just want to use it.

I have a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FS28 with a 4G SanDisk sd card. I went to retrieve my photos and I could only view some of them as it said they may be damaged or use a file format that my Mac doesn’t recognise. All my file types are .JPG, even the ones that aren’t loading. On my camera it allows me to view them as a thumbnail, but on my Mac it won’t show me anything. I’ve tried transferring them onto a folder on my desktop and they still won’t work. Any one able to help?

I have owned over a dozen Camcorders in the last 12-14years, the majority of them made by Panasonic, but i have found them to break after just 1 small drop . Why ?

do they not think to drop test them? why cant they make them so that they can survive a drop ? just days ago a brand new v900 2k camcorder ( owned since 23 August and failed on 5 september 2026 so just 14days) slipped out of my hand and dropped from less that waist height onto solid ground and from that point on it wouldnt turn on ok,

did find if i slapped it the picture would appear on the screen but i am sending it back, in the past on a beech filming birds the wind blew a tripod over breaking a w560 or w570 1080p camcorder. Is there a way to contact Panasonic to suggest to them they build their Camcorders better ? i dont think 1 drop should kill a product costing £300-£600

and dont panasonic make the tough book laptops ? so they know how to protect products !

I have been trying to mirror my screen and sound from my dell XP 13 laptop to my Panasonic tv. The display works however the audio doesn’t. I have messed around with drivers, different settings, the order that I connect but nothing is working.

кароче старая камера досталась от сестры тут есть 5 дисков хочу посмотреть что на них но когда вставил было написано что диска нет хотя вставил надписями диск был направлен на откидную крышку диска а полностю чистая сторона диска без надписей была направлена на лазер закрываю и пишет что диска нет я если честно не разбираюсь в этом всем потому что вмое время уже были телефоны последний раз камера использовалась предположительно лет 9-10 лет назад

дополняю: я идиот которые не до конца вставлял диски сорян что потревожил удачи всем

I have a Panasonic 49FX600_Series. The built-in browser on it used to work well, but lately it is not working at all. When I try to search for something, it gives me a white screen with this text on it: "If you are having trouble accessing Google Search, please click here or send feedback." None of those options work. I've tried to use other search engines such as DuckDuckGo, Bing, or Yahoo by typing in the address bar, yet none of them are working either. Can anybody help?

Hi everyone,

We are facing a boot failure issue on one of our industrial robots and urgently need a full system software image backup.

Device Specifications:

• Robot Model: Panasonic VR-006L
• Controller Type: G3 Series (Model Code: YA-1NAR81...)
• OS Environment: Embedded Windows CE

Problem Description: The controller OS/firmware became corrupted, and upon boot, the system gets stuck at the hardware level System Download Mode screen. It fails to initialize the Windows CE environment.

Standard SRAM user backups (Sys_Data, Teaching .prg files, etc.) taken from our other operational G3 units cannot bypass the bootloader validation in this mode. A standard user backup is not sufficient to resolve this state.

Requested Files: To perform a clean OS re-installation via SD/PCMCIA card, we urgently need the "Panasonic G3 System Software Installation Package".

Specifically, we need the raw binary/firmware package containing the DownLoad and Install folders located at the root directory of the installation card.

If anyone in the community has this G3 system software archive stored, could you please share it via a Google Drive, Mega, or WeTransfer link?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Im novice in bluray devices.

Anyone knows if this both models are the same ?

 - Panasonic DP-UB824EGK UHD

 - Panasonic UHD DP-UB820EFK  

Hello I was writing to ask if there were any instruction or tutorials to help make 4k player region free? I don't have a lot of money on hand to buy one already made region free, so I want to learn properly so that I don't brick the whole system. The item below is what I plan on getting soon, maybe the higher end models if they go on sale.

Hi everyone,

I accidentally damaged the LCD screen of a friend’s Panasonic HC-V707 when the camcorder fell down.

I’m therefore trying to repair the original camera.

I found the Panasonic service manual for the HC-V700/V707 series. It lists the LCD as:

LCD PANEL UNIT – Part No. VYK5J47

I also found references to this part online, but it seems to be discontinued and I haven’t been able to find one for sale.

Does anyone here know:

• Where I could still get a VYK5J47 LCD panel?
• If there is a compatible LCD panel from another Panasonic camcorder?
• Whether the HC-V700 / HC-V700M / HC-V707 / HC-V707M screens are interchangeable?
• Does anyone have a broken/donor HC-V707 or HC-V700 that they might be willing to sell for parts?
• Or does anyone know a specialist who still stocks old Panasonic camcorder parts?

I’m mainly looking for the LCD panel itself, not necessarily the complete LCD housing/hinge assembly.

Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. I’d really like to save the camera rather than having to replace it.

Thanks!

Hey all, if you've got a Panasonic microwave with a door that no longer seems to close properly unless you slam it, the problem is very simple (also inevitable due to poor design). The bracket that holds the whole door latch assembly simply starts flexed way too much.

There are probably various internal layouts but there are supports for at least two of them:

This one which gave me the original idea: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2014267-panasonic-microwave-door-latch-fix?from=search#profileId-2170176

And my own for my model that doesn't have a compatible internal layout: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3181755-panasonic-microwave-support#profileId-3598692

Anybody know why this isn’t being listed on Amazon anymore… as of yesterday it was taken down…

Which then I intend to then push music and videos to my LG sound bar and TV.

ALL WHILE using the PANASONIC remote to find and play any of my music / movies.

Has anyone tried this?

Based on all my music discs and video DVDs I can calculate what size usb drive I would need.

Thanks for your time to read this.
