Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care

fully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit

itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Power Source—The unit should be connected to power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not used, turn the power off.

When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Environment

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding—if an outside antenna is con

nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with re spect to proper 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. See figure below.

3. Heat—The unit shoufd be situated away from heat sources such as radiators and the like. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5"C (41 ^F) or greater than 35“C (95'T).

4. Condensation—Moisture may form on the lens in the following conditions...

• immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• in a steamy or very humid room.

•when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a

warm one. If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. To correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

Placemenf

. Ventilation—The unit should be situated so that its location or

position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow 10 cm (4") clearance from the rear of the unit.

2. Foreign Material—Care should be taken so that objects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

3. Magnetism—The unit should be situated away from equipment or devices that generate strong magnetic fields,

4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects, other than system com ponents, on top of the unit.

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

6. Carts and Stands—The unit should be used only with a cart or

stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

The unit and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and un even surfaces may cause the unit and cart com bination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The unit should not be mounted to

a wait or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instructions.

(•*■ page 47 for details.)

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft doth lightly moist ened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

(NEC ART 250, PART H)

NEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

2. Water and Moisture—Do not use this unit near water—for ex ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. Damp basements should also be avoided.

1. Damage Requiring Service—The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: (a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

(b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or (d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or

(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

2. Servicing—The user should not attempt to service the unit be yond that described in the operating instructions. All other servic ing should be referred to an authorized service personnel. For the address of an authorized servicenfer: In the U.S.A. 1 -800-211 -7262 or web site (http://www.panasonic.com) In Canada 905-624-5505 or web site (

www.panasonic.ca/fdbckca.htm)

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic industries Associ ation’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 you to 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.

Comerning the remote contrai

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types (manganese and alkaline, etc.).

• Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt

to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.

• If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time, re

move the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

• Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.

• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.

Battery life

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.

The battery life is about one year.

The batteries should be replaced if commands from the remote con trol transmitter do not operate the unit even when the transmitter is held close to the front panel.

Remote control sensor

About 7 meters in front of the signal sensor

Transmission window

Operation notes

• Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor

and remote control unit.

• Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight

or to the bright light of an invertor fluorescent light.

•Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and end of the

remote control unit free from dust.

• If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass

doors’ thickness or color might make it necessary to use the re mote control a shorter distance from the system.

To prevent damage

• Never place heavy items on top of the unit.

• Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit.

• Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit.

Place the center speaker above or below the television, as close to the television as possible.

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.

Check the L (Lett) or R (Right) channels indication on the underside of the speakers for correct placement. Place the speakers with the Panasonic logo facing toward the listening 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 wail 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 kilograms.

For your reference

To fix the wire feed it through slit @ in the speaker.

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 per formance.

if IB a The front speakers (and center speaker) 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 still visi ble when the TV is turned on again, move the speakers further away from the TV.
