I've just replaced my Panasonic DVD home cinema system with a Panasonic
SC-BT735 Blu-Ray home cinema system.

Overall I'm very pleased - after a lot of experimenting with the numerous
sound adjustments.

One section in the instruction manual is baffling me however.

Under the general heading of "Making settings for digital audio input" it
states:

Select to suit the type of audio from the 'Digital Audio In' terminals on
the main unit.

Press [Ext-In] several times to select "D-In 1" (Digital In 1) or "D-In 2"
(Digital In 2).

Digital In 1/Digital In 2

Press [Audio]
M1
M2
M1+M2 (stereo audio)
(Only works with Dolby Dual Mono)
"M1" or "M2" is not available if "On" is selected in "Digital Audio Input"

-----

I don't have the faintest idea what any of that means. I have scoured the
instruction manual and can find no explanation of what 'M1' or 'M2' means.

Can anyone enlighten me?

I have an optical audio feed from my Sky HD box into digital terminal 2 and
an optical audio feed from my Xbox into digital terminal 2.

What 'M' setting is appropriate for these inputs?

For those who want to read the manual it is downloadable at
http://tda.panasonic-europe-service....51/vqt2q52.pdf

M1 and M2 are Mono 1 and Mono 2?

A good example of typical Japanese manual editing.

I think I may have to do that! That particular section is just gobbledegook!

Yes - you may be right there, in which case I don't want either of those
settings!

We bought a Panasonic microwave cooker in the Netherlands. Although
we can read Dutch we got very little sense out of parts of the
manual, which was supplied in Dutch. I compared the Dutch version to
the English version in a shop in UK. It looked as if whole pages had
been omitted. The times and settings given for defrosting bread would
probably have been sufficient to bake a loaf from scratch.

LOL!

Another issue is appallingly badly translated instruction manuals which you
still find accompanying many electrical products. In this day and age of
instant communication I cannot understand just why a foreign company cannot
e-mail its proposed translation to someone who actually speaks the language
for checking prior to printing.
