The NGBC seats are not made by Panasonic; they are made by Recaro, IIRC.

AFAIK, the 763 version of the seats has manual override controls located on the center console behind the inside elbow (lean back and look for the red metallic buttons). If the seat is fully reclined, the manual controls would be near the inside shoulder. I'm not sure if these controls exist on the 75L version.
