How can I tell if a Panasonic PG50 is a grey import or a UK retail version?
I ask because I have had 3 sets which all had the same sound fault (high pitch whistle in all simulated surround modes).
My local Panasonic centre suggested I might be having problems due to the sets being grey imports not intended for the UK and therefore not up to standard. He said the only way to tell was that 2 digits of the serial no: were different on UK sets but wouldn't tell me which digits to look for and what they meant.
I have a sneaky feeling he was bulling me so that I would purchase from him but would like to know any views on the subject.
Has anyone else experianced this sound problem with the Panasonic PG50 range?
