I need to be able to playback region 1 blu-ray disks on my Panasonic SC-BT100 machine please. My machine is coded for region 2 at present.

Check region code, make sure its dvd region 1 for U.S. CANADA! If it's a blu-ray disk then it needs to be region ''A'' disk for U.S. Canada If not you will need a region free player. You can also play them on a Pc or laptop if blue ray disk you'll need blue ray player for your pc or laptop,

use a dvd head cleaner

All Panasonic Blu-ray players, sold in the USA, will playback Region 1 discs.

Inputs are not fused. Have you looked at the manual(s)?

Digital inputs need to be assigned. The optical cable must be routed with no tight bends.
