instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance,

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care-
fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit

itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below,

1. Power Source--The unit should be connected to power supply

Q

only of the type dascdbed in the operating instructions or as

marked on the unit.

2. Polerization--lt the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug

¢b

m

will tit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try revers-
ing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electd-
clan to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protectlon--AC power supply cords should be

muted so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, Never take hold of the plug
or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body
when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonusa Pedods--Whan the unit is net used, turn the power
off. When left unused for a long poded of time, the unit should

be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Environment 1

1.

Outdoor Antenna Gmundfog--lf an outside antenna is con-

nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

buiti-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with re-

spect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requiroments for the
grounding electrode. See figure below.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur-
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-

ment offers. This menufactumr and the Electronic Industries Asso-
oiation's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out

of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying bladng or dis-
tortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.

Sound can he deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound, So what sounds "normal" can
actually be loud and harmful to your headng.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level

BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume contro!at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until#ou can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once youhave establisheda comfortablesoundlevel:

• Set the dialand leaveitthere.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevant heanng damage

or loss in the future, After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Insert the batteries observing
the correct poladtles (+, -).

Use of batteries }

• Align the poles (+ and -) properly when inserting the battedas.

• Do not mix old and new bettedas or differenttypes of batteries.

• Do not recharge ordinary dry cell batteties.

• Do not heat or disassemble the batteries. Do not alicw them to
contact flame or water.

• Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for a long time.

• Do not keep together with metallic objects such as necklaces,

• Do not use reobargeable type batteries.

• DO not use batteries if the covedng has been peeled off.

Mishandlingof battedas can cause electr_e leakage which can damage
ik_msthe ifuid contacts and may cause a fire.

If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer.

Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in co_tact with any part
of your bedy.

I Surround speakers i

As well as enjoying normal stereo reproduction with the left and right
front speakers, surround speakers can also be connected to the sys-

tem in order to enjoy a feeling of depth and movement of sound.
Place the speakers with the Panasonic logo facing toward the listen-
ing position.
We recommend that surround speakers be placed on the side of, or
slightly behind, the listener at ear level.

However, the position should be adjusted to your personal prefer-
ence, because the effect varies to some degree depending upon the

type of music and the music source.

[] Attaching to a wall
Set speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into posi-

tion.

The wall or pillar on which the speaker systems are to be attached
should be capable of supporting a weight of 5 kg.

For your reference
To flxthewire, feed it through slit(_) in thecenter-bo_om of the
speaker.

Use the speakers only with the recommended

system. Failure to do so may read to damage to
the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may re-

suit in the dsk of fire. Consult a qualified ser-

vice person if damage has occurred or if you
experience a sudden change in performance.

Do not attempt to attach these speakers to

walls using methods other than those de-
scribed in this manual.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a
television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and
sot-up combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television's demagnetizing functionshould correct the problem. If
it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Surround speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place

them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily in-
tluer_ed by magnetism.

An FM outdoor antenna isrecommended, (I> page 8.)

2. Connect the AM loop antenna.

After attaching the antenna, turn an the system and tune in a
broadcast station. Then, turn the antenna tothe angle of best re-

ception and least interference.

3. Connect the front speakers.

Connect each end of the speaker cables to the terminal levers of
the same color.

Use only the supplied front speakers.
The combination of the main unit and front speakers provide the
best sound. Using other front speakers can damage the unit and

sound quality will be negatively affected.
