table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13)Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Tape information

∫ Tapes

≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.

≥Break out the tape’s tab to prevent

accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of adhesive tape when you

want to use the tape for recording again.

Tab

∫ S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

You can play tapes recorded with the S-VHS system, however some noise may occur with some types and this unit cannot take advantage of S-VHS’s high resolution.

This unit cannot make S-VHS recordings.

∫ Tape care

Poor quality or damaged tapes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your tapes carefully and discard when they become dirty or damaged.

Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

Listening caution

EST. 1924

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.

approximately the same distance from the seating position.	speaker setup options.
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.

Main unit

[Note]

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

Center speaker

≥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.

≥To prevent the speakers from falling do not place the speakers directly on top of the television.

Subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy

shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.

RQT7708

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

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.

Caution

≥The main unit and supplied speakers are only to be used as indicated in this setup. 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.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied 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.

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/CB, PR/CR) 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 30, Video—Black Level Control).

To enjoy progressive video

≥Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)

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

∫ Connecting a television with an S-VIDEO IN terminal

S-VIDEO OUT terminal

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

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