Yes, you are right. The model number is PV-D4742, there is no M in the number. Just curious, what sort of support do you get from Panasonic as an ASC, especially on line? Do you have access to Pan service manuals? Do you know of any common failures for this mechanism? The one I have occasionally makes a noise like slipping gears during front load causing it to jam and the cam gear to be out of time. Thanks for the correction, John.
