Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’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 blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be 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 hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

¡Start your volume control at a low setting.

¡Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ¡ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Playing DVDs and Video CDs

The producer of these discs can control how they are played so you may not always be able to control play as described in these operating instructions (for example if the play time is not displayed or if a Video CD has menus). Read the disc’s instructions carefully.

7 Inserting a disc correctly

12 cm

8 cm

¡Insert the disc correctly into position as indicated in the diagrams above.

¡Place only one disc on a tray.

¡Insert the disc with the label side facing up.

7 Playing PAL system DVD-Audio

This unit converts PAL to NTSC for play. The picture is compressed to show it in its entirety, but this may cause it to be stretched vertically.

7 To clean discs

¡Clean with an optional DVD-RAM/PD disc cleaner (LF-K200DCA1, where available).

¡Never use cloths or cleaners for CDs, etc.

7 Handling precautions

¡Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument.

¡Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

¡Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs with exposed adhesive from tape or left over peeled-off stickers.)

¡Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.

Setup example

Main unit

¡The front and surround speakers are the same. Use those you have connected the short cords to as front speakers and those you have connected the long cords to as surround speakers.

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

¡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.

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.

Main unit

Note

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32˝) 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 or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.

Leave 10 cm (4˝) at the rear for ventilation.

S-VIDEO OUT terminal

The S-VIDEO OUT 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.)

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 (A page 28, 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] on the main unit so “PROG.” appears on the display (A 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.

Preparation

Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.

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.
