Suggestions for safety

Avoid placing the unit in areas of;

•direct suniight

•high temperature

•high humidity

•excessive vibration

•uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)

Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.

To protect the unit against sound distortion

and acousticai effects, please place the unit at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces etc.

:5facl^in

Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the AC power cord.

yolfqge

• it is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage such as for an air conditioner, A fire might be caused by such a con nection.

•A DC power source can not be used. Be sure to check the power source care fully, especially if on a ship or other place where DC is used.

. Pbw.ér;;;çbrâ;;:p,r^

•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC power cord, as this may result in fire or electric shock. Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be avoided.

• Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you disconnect the power supply.

• Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock could result.

• Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needles, coins, screwdrivers etc., acci dentally fall into the unit. Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.

• Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or electric shock could occur.

(Disconnect the power plug and contact

your dealer immediately if this occurs.)

•Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit

as they contain flammable gases which

can be Ignited.

• Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and

similar chemicals should never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or cloudiness to the cabinet finish.

• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock couid result if you ignore this precautionary measure.

• If a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light

up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your dealer or Authorized Service Center immediately.

• Disconnect the power supply if the unit will

not be used for a long time. Otherwise the operation life could be shortened.

•Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

•To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones if you have taken the nets off.

Center speoker

Place the center speaker above your TV, as close to it TV as pos sible.

Surround speakers

As well as enjoying normal stereo reproduction with the left and

right front speakers, surround speakers can also be connected to

the system in order to enjoy a feeling of depth and movement of

sound.

Place the speakers with the Panasonic logo facing toward the lis tening 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 B

Set speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into po sition.

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

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 oc curred or if you experience a sudden change In perfor mance.

•Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

The speakers are made so they can be used in close proximity of a TV, but irregular coloring may result due to how the system is

placed. If such distortion occurs, turn off the TV for between 15 and 30 minutes. The demagnetizing function of the TV will eliminate the distortion. If the irregular coloring is stili visible, when the TV is turned on again move the speakers further away from the TV.

About the Dolby noise-reduction system @

The Dolby noise-reduction system is designed to effectively reduce

the annoying high-frequency “hissing" noise typical of cassette tapes. During recording, the system functions to increase the high-fre quency sound level, and then, during playback, that same portion is weakened to bring it back to the previous level. The DOLBY NR effect is obtained by selecting the same type of

Dolby during playback as was used during recording.

This unit includes the Dolby B NR-type.

Dolby B NR-type Noise is reduced to about one-third.

Dolby noise reduction manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. “DOLBY” and the double-D symbol □□ are trademarks of
