Getting started

Before use

Getting started

Step 1 Connections

≥ Turn off all equipment before connection and

read the appropriate operating instructions.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are completed.

∫ HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia

Interface)

≥ The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link “HDAVI

Control” (> 33) when used with a compatible Panasonic TV.

≥ Use the ARC compatible High Speed HDMI Cables.

Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilised.

≥ It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI

cable.

∫ HDMI standby pass-through

Even if the main unit is in standby mode, the audio and/ or video signal from the device connected to the HDMI AV IN terminal will be sent to the TV connected to the HDMI AV OUT terminal (the sound will not be output from this system).

∫ 3D compatibility

Compatible with FULL HD 3D TV and Blu-ray Disc player. ≥ The main unit can pass-through the 3D video signal

from a 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc player to a FULL HD 3D TV.

Connection with the TV

1 Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is

labelled “HDMI (ARC)”.

Connection differs depending on the label printed next to the HDMI terminal.

Labelled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [A]

Not Labelled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [B]

∫ What is ARC?

ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When you connect the main unit to the terminal labelled “HDMI (ARC)” on the TV, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.

2 Make the connection.

∫ 4K/60p compatibility

Compatible with 4K Ultra HD TV and Blu-ray Disc player. ≥ This system can pass-through the 4K content of a 4K

compatible equipment to a 4K Ultra HD TV.

≥ When connecting to 4K compatible equipment and

4K Ultra HD TV, use High Speed HDMI cables which support 18 Gbps bandwidth.

Using the IR Blaster

(When the remote control does not work properly)

Depending on how the main unit is setup, it may block the TV’s remote control signal sensor, stopping the TV’s remote control from working. Use the supplied Ir system cable if this occurs. The TV remote control signals received by the main unit are sent to the TV to operate it.

≥ For the operation range, refer to page 8. ≥ Do not use any other IR Blaster except the

supplied one.

1 Connect the jack plug to the main

unit’s Ir SYSTEM terminal.

2 Place the infrared emitter in sight of

the TV’s remote control signal sensor.



≥ For the location of the TV’s remote control signal sensor,

refer to the operating instructions for the TV.

≥ Select a location that suits the environment. ≥ Make sure to clean the surface, where the adhesive tape

is to be attached.

≥ If you peel off the adhesive tape, the surface may

become damaged and exposed adhesive may remain. Once you have confirmed the TV is operating correctly, secure it by attaching the adhesive tape.

≥ When the TV receives signals from both its remote

control and the IR Blaster, their signals may interfere with each other, making it impossible for you to operate the TV. Try using the TV’s remote control from a different angle.

AC mains lead connection

≥ Connect only after all other connections

are completed.

(supplied)

§ Insert the AC mains lead fully into the main unit.

SQT0935

≥ This system consumes a small amount of AC

power (> 42) even when it is turned off. In the interest of power conservation, if you will not be using this system for a long time, unplug it from the household mains socket.

Saving energy

The main unit is designed to conserve its power consumption and save energy. ≥ The main unit will automatically switch to

standby mode when no signal is input and no operation is performed for approx. 20 minutes. Refer to page 30, “AUTO POWER DOWN” to turn this function off.

Safety Precautions

Professional installation is required. The installation should never be done by any other than a qualified installation specialist. PANASONIC DISCLAIMS ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR INCORRECT HANDLING.

≥ Be sure to install the main unit as indicated within this

operating Instructions.

≥ Attach using techniques suited to the structure and

materials of the installation location.

Caution

≥ This system is to be used only as indicated

in these instructions. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speaker, 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 the main unit to a

wall using methods other than those described in this manual.



≥ Do not hold the main unit in one hand to avoid injury,

you may drop the main unit when carrying it.

≥ To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft

cloth and perform the assembly on it.

The active subwoofer

When carrying the active subwoofer

Take care not to damage the inside speaker unit.



≥ The speaker protection cover is attached to the speaker

unit inside the subwoofer. Remove it before use.

≥ When the subwoofer is brought close to CRT TVs and

other display devices, the magnets in the speaker may cause some colour irregularities or image distortion. If this happens, move the active subwoofer to a place where these symptoms do not occur.

≥ Interference may occur if the TV has wireless LAN

functionality, causing some communication problems (sound is interrupted, sound skips, there is a lot of noise, etc.). If this happens, move the active subwoofer to a place where interference does not occur.

Wireless interference

Interference may occur if you are using other devices (wireless LAN/microwave ovens/ cordless phones, etc.) that use the 2.4 GHz frequency band, causing some communication problems (sound is interrupted, sound skips, there is a lot of noise, etc.). If this happens, separate the other electronic equipment from the main unit and active subwoofer so that interference does not occur.

method

Choose a placement method that suits you best.

When placing the main unit in a rack or on a table

≥ Place the main unit on a flat and horizontal

surface.

∫ When placing the main unit in front

of the TV

The main unit may block or interfere with the TV’s various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) sensor, remote control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV. ≥ If interference occurs, move the main unit

further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function correctly, try using it in a rack or in the wall mount position.

∫ If the TV’s remote control sensor is

blocked by the main unit

Try using the TV’s remote control from a different angle. If the problem persists, you can use the supplied IR Blaster to relay the signal to the TV. (> 11 )

When attaching the main unit to a wall

≥ Place the main unit on a flat and vertical

surface.



≥ Place the active subwoofer within a few meters of the

main unit and in a horizontal position with the top panel facing upward.

≥ Do not use the main unit or the active subwoofer in a

metal cabinet.

≥ Placing the active subwoofer too close to the walls

and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

≥ Keep magnetised items away. Magnetised cards,

watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the main unit and active subwoofer.

A Cord

§ If the cord cannot be threaded through the holes, try bending the cord in 2 locations,

about 5 mm apart from the tip, at an angle of 45

(as illustrated above).

2 Place the main unit in the desired position and attach each cord onto the rack or table.

≥ Make sure that the slack of the cord is minimal. ≥ Do not lean the main unit against the TV or wall.
