I recently got a Panasonic SC-PMX92 and generally I'm really pleased with it - great little unit for the price with decent sound quality...just what I wanted for my home office.
However, I was somewhat astounded to discover that it's impossible to adjust the balance. On my previous system (Pure) you could control the balance via the menu so I initially thought this would be the same and it was just a case of finding the right menu option. But it's simply not possible - I even contacted Panasonic support and they confirmed it was not possible. Due to the placement of the speakers in relation to where I sit, the sound comes slightly from the right (not possible to put the speakers anywhere else due to the setup of the room). On my old previous system, I was able to just tweak the balance slightly to the left and it was fine.
I'm undecided as to whether I'd replace the entire unit because of such a small issue (in one sense!)...seems a bit extreme. To me, it's unbelievable that such a basic adjustment has been omitted from a brand new hifi, but then I'm wondering if it's the same on all similar spec'd hifis these days? Is anyone able to clarify?
