STEP 1 Positioning
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only 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.
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 curtains.
Center speaker
Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by
the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is
placed directly on the TV.

§
Left and right
speakers are

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain
good airflow around the main unit, position it
with at least 5 cm (2q) of space on all sides.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
13
/32q) away from the system for
proper ventilation.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the
same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram
are approximate.
SubwooferFront speakers

Place to the right or

Wireless system
§
Place the wireless system within approximately
10 m (33 ft.) from the main unit.
§
Do not use the wireless system or the digital
transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.
Do not use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify the type of speaker with the label on
the rear of the speaker.
NOTE
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless system and other electronic
devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these
other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the
wireless link indicator (“
[W2S] ” or “ [W4S] ”) flashes on the main unit, and
there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best
possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location
outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.

You can enjoy 7.1ch surround sound when you use the optional Panasonic wireless system SH-FX67 and speaker system
SB-HS100A. Refer to the relevant operating instructions for details.
≥You can also enjoy 7.1ch surround sound by connecting an amplifier using audio cable via the SURROUND and SURROUND
BACK terminals on the back of the main unit (> 36).
≥System speaker settings will need to be changed in order to enjoy 7.1ch surround sound (> 34).

∫ Notes on speaker use
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be
negatively affected.
≥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 reverberating due to 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 TV
The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a TV,
but the picture may be affected with some TVs and setup
combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetizing function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
∫ Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
