Step 3 Connections

≥Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate owner’s manual.

Do not connect the AC power supply cord until all other connections are complete.

∫ HDMI

The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” (> 25) when used with a compatible Panasonic TV. ≥ Use the High Speed HDMI Cables. It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable.

Recommended part number (High Speed HDMI cable): RP-CDHS15 (1.5 m/4.9 ft), RP-CDHS30 (3.0 m/9.8 ft), RP-CDHS50 (5.0 m/16.4 ft), etc.

≥ Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilized.

Connection with the TV

Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is labeled “HDMI (ARC)”.

Connection differs depending on the label printed next to the HDMI terminal.

Labeled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [A] Not Labeled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [B]

∫ What is ARC?

ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When you connect the main unit to the terminal labeled “HDMI (ARC)”, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.

Make the connection.

3D sound

This system provides a feeling that the sound and the image are as one. The 3D sound effect will be applied to Multi-channel audio sources as a factory preset.

3D sound

Dolby Virtual Speaker

3D surround effect

Clear-mode dialog

With this effect you can enjoy a surround sound effect similar to

5.1ch. Adding to the Dolby Virtual

Speaker effect, Panasonic has applied its own sound field controlling technology to expand the sound field forwards, backwards, upwards, and downwards, providing a sound with depth and force that better matches 3D images.

Sports commentary and dialogs from TV dramas are heard as if the sound is coming from the TV, giving the feeling that the sound and the image are one. Also, the dialog will stand out from the other sounds during normal volume playback and when the volume is lowered for night time viewing.



Dolby Virtual Speaker and the 3D surround effects can be turned off and on by changing the audio output mode settings.

Audio output modes

As a factory preset, Dolby Virtual Speaker and the 3D surround effects will be applied to Multi-channel audio sources, such as those from a Blu-ray Disc player DVD player, etc. By changing the audio output setting, it is possible to apply the Dolby Virtual Speaker and 3D surround effects to 2ch audio sources, such as the audio from the TV.
