IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

			Safety
	1.		Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
			described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
started	2.		Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug
			way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still
			where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
Getting			ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
			doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
			Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
	3.		Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so
			that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
			against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
			Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and
			disconnecting it.
	4.		Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be
			careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord,
			or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric
			shock.
	5.		Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug
			the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a
			long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.
	6.		Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and
			accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Installation

Placement

1.Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to overheating ensure curtains and other materials do not obstruct the unit’s ventilation.

2.Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.

3.Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

4.Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.

5.Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

6.Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts

and stands recommended by the manufacturer.

Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to overturn.

7.Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the

unit on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

Environment

1.Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2.Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators.

Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5oC (41oF) or rise above 35oC (95oF).

RQT7089

3.Power lines—Take care when setting up an outdoor antenna that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna falling on power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna, take extreme care not to touch such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.

4.Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an outdoor antenna, ground the antenna system to protect against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information about 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 requirements for the grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.

Simple setup

STEP1	Sheet of speaker feet
	Locating

Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

Main unit

≥The front and surround speakers are the same. The left and right speakers are the same.

≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Main unit

Note

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Center speaker

≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television. ≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it

is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.

Subwoofer

Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.

Leave 10 cm (4q) on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave 10 cm (4q) at the rear for ventilation.

Attaching the speaker feet

Attach these speaker feet to prevent vibration causing the speakers to move or fall over.

Standing	Laying down
Front and Surround	Center speaker
speakers

Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.

≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.

≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.

Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage. –When playing distorted sound.

–When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality. –When turning the unit on or off.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Caution

≥Use the speakers only with the recommended system. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service 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 described in this manual.

S-video cable (not included)

S-VIDEO OUT terminal

The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance

(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

RQT7089

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

≥The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color.

≥After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture ( page 32, Video—Black Level Control).

To enjoy progressive video

≥Connect to the component video (480P) input terminals on a television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)

≥Press [PROGRESSIVE OUT] on the main unit so “PROGRESSIVE” appears on the display ( page 12).

≥All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.
