    Welcome to the forum.... You shouldn't post a general question in a "sticky" as it will most likely get lost, receive no answer and it gums up the sticky.

    Hopefully... Someone will have your answer soon! ;)

    Have you tried the built-in diagnostics (Ctrl-F7 at the Panasonic start up screen)? The sound test should produce a beep if you do not have sound muted.

    Well, here's a secret for you. I probably learned about the disagnosics from a service manual I got off your web site - when you used to (be able to) post them.

    So, thank you, too!

    Rob,

    BTW, would you by any chance have a Y7 service manual - you know the big one with the color pictures and disassembly instructions?

    thanks,
    Dave
