Dear Plop

As I have mentioned The RQ-SX22V Japanese version is Definitely a Dolby C as the Japanese Service Manual stated.
However for some reasons (?) the other worldwide SX22V models have Dolby B only.

RQ-SX22V Japanese

Is it the SX22V or the S22V? You have posted up pictures for a SX22V which definitely is Dolby B only.

Sorry, I have just noitced my typo and I've correct it. It's the RQ-SX22V that have Dolby C.
Thanks Plop .

Ok, this does not appear to make sense. I think maybe the Service Manual is using the wrong Dolby logo. I have seen photos from Japanese websites such as here (Dolby switch is bottom right and only has On/Off) and also the Japanese User Manual (Answer 3 questions to activate download) which does not indicate that this model having Dolby C.

The RQ-S65 has an FG amorphous head design.

It is interesting that an SX22V should have Dolby C. It is not consistent with Panasonic topology. But then, it might be true.

Yes, It looks like your right! So I went to the Panasonic Club on Panasonic Japan to find out, but I couldn't figure out the gibberish, and cannot even translate the text with google translation. if anyone can figure out how to view or read the information please let us know. I believe this one can answer the question.

This is from the blue box I guess. What about the other text boxes? there is the pink box on the right which looks like a technical chart maybe there?. BTW How did you manage to view the Japanese text? My browsers cannot display the Japanese text but gibberish?

I was going to be late for work, so I didn't bother to capture those panes as well, but they don't refer to any special features.

So for completeness here they are

How to view your posted link properly? You need to have an East Asian OS eg Japanese.

Dolby in Japanese btw is ドルビー, This phase I do not see anywhere. If this was a Dolby C unit, then I would have expected to see Panasonic shout about it.

Good work plop.

OK, So I guess we're gone have to take it off the list then.
it is strange though that this mistake is a very old one and they didn't correct it.
for such a big co. like Panasonic. ??

BTW this is where I got the manuals from RQ-SX22V

Hello,

You can add the Sharp JC-C30 to the list
