Panasonic NV-HS1000 front panel disassembly?
 

Dear All, thank you for the plethora of useful information on this site. I have been a reader for years.

Now I am looking for instructions on how to dismantle the front panel of the Panasonic NV-HS1000. I would have to access the shuffle ring and the pause button (the former requires proper cleaning while the latter launches fast forward rather than set a still image). I have checked the service manual and forum posts but they seem to have nothing on this (unless I have overlooked something). I have seen videos covering the removal of the whole front block together, but I would only have to look into the part that folds down.

Would you have any idea, or know of any instructions, on how to get the front panel apart?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Service manual needed.

Several entries for this model are at https://www.digitalFAQ.com/forum/vcr...r-manuals.html

Indeed, I found an exploded view in one of the service manuals (exactly that of the version I do not have so I did not check - Panasonic NV-HS1000B/EC), thank you! Sorry for taking up space.
