Panasonic Palmcorder NV-S100 - information needed

I recently acquired an old NV-S100 Panasonic camcorder which has been
misaligned on the camera section.  Basicly, the autofocus is excessively
damped, the video output is too high (~1.5V), the auto-brightness is
miles from correct and only seems to be setup for the high speed shutter
modes, the colour is too saturated and the balance is cold.

To correct the problems I need access to a sevice manual for this, or a
similar, camera.  Panasonic UK seem particularly unhelpful, only
offerring advice that this item probably originated in SE-Asia or
Australia and since it was not a UK model they could not help.

Does anyone know where this camera was originally marketted or have a
manual for it?  Alternatively, does anyone know the UK equivalent model
which Panasonic UK might sell me a service manual for?

I believe it was the first palmcorder that Panasonic made with digital
stabilisation in it.  The full model number is NV-S100EN and it has the
following features on it :
*  Digital Autofocus - manual override
*  Digital stabiliser
*  6x zoom lens
*  Flying erase head
*  Variable shutter 1/50, 120, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000ths sec.
*  Title overlay in memory
*  White balance setting
*  Fade in/out
*  Still/strobe recording
*  Snapshot recording

Any help on setting this camera back to normal adjustment would be
greatly appreciated.
