Maybe Panasonic could alter it in a firmware update?

Wonder if its worth emailing them?

I have just emailed them here: Email

Asking if the issue can be addressed in a future firmware update. If enough people contact them they MAY take notice

Have a look on this site as there was a cracking thread that helped you reduce the bass down to a sensible level

anyone have any idea how to make the dvd player automatically play stuff in widescreen? Have a lot of music dvd's that are in 4:3 format so have to change the option to zoom everytime we play it?

Hi I have been using this system for a couple of weeks now and when playing a DVD there is a high pitched noise. The best way i can describe it is like listening to crickets chirping.

When i'm watching TV with the optical feed from my V+ Box it's fine just a slight hum from the fan but you expect that.

Has anyone else got the same noise issues?

I sit around 15 feet from the unit so i wasn't expecting to hear a noise from the player that is clearly audible when watching a DVD at normal sound levels.

Cheers for any responses.

Am i right in thinking there is no eject button on the remote?

Watch 4:3 in 4:3! Just watch it in the aspect ratio that the film/show was filmed in!!

Why is it that folk spend a fortune on a fancy TVs (and expensive sound systems) and then end up watching stretched, distorted or cropped pictures?

I appreciate that 4:3 does not "fit" into 16:9 but what possible advantage is there in stretching 4:3 to 16:9??? You don't see any more of the picture. You wont see it "better". You just see distorted fat heads.

And if you "zoom" the picture and you are loosing portions of the image and you are loosing resolution.

If there is one thing that really annoys the bejeshus out of me its when I visit some home to see 4:3 pictures stretched on a 16:9 screen. I have to leave before I punch the viewers in the face.

Watch the picture as it was intended to be watched - as the directer saw it when he directed it, as the editor saw it as he edited it (or she of course)

The next thing you guys will be asking is why you don't get the rear speakers working in a stereo soundtrack. Oh yeah, someone did ask that before didn't they! aarrrghhhhhh.

I'm thinking of buying a used one of these from a person at work who I don't know too well, but he seems honest enough. Seems he bought it new and tried to update the fimware and during the process it turned itself off and now can not be restarted or powered up. Selling cheap but no guarantees.

Anyone know what the issue might be, if it can be easily repaired and roughly what it would cost??

Many thanks in advance for any help.
