I own the same camcorder and was looking for a replacement power cord/battery charger when I saw the manual for free download on the Panasonic website. Good luck!

i found a site to download the manuals if you still need one, i lost mine and it was so easy to find here is the address for the site, i figure you probably found one but this is handy for all cameras made by panasonic. http://service.us.panasonic.com/operman/Default.aspx

I want to manual to panasoni palm sight pv L 657 please.
