Safety precautions

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life. Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and cause a fire. Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead. Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause electric shock. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer. Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

≥Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing

instrument.

≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity

prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers. ≥Clean any dust, water, or foreign matter from the terminals on the

rear side of the card.

Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it impossible to play discs. Use the lens cleaner (not included) about once every year, depending on frequency of use and the operating environment. Carefully read the lens cleaner’s instructions before use.

Lens cleaner: RP-CL720E

≥This lens cleaner may not be for sale depending on the region. ≥This lens cleaner is sold as specific for DIGA, but can be used

without problem on this unit as well.

Positioning

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.

≥This system is a 5.1ch sound system. ≥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.

NOTE

≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 43.

Getting Started

Setup example

Place the front, center, surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “SMART SETUP” (>14) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

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

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.

Main unit

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Front speakers

Surround speakers

Subwoofer

45º to 60º

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.

RQT9457

NOTE

TIPS

Position the speakers as illustrated and place them at the same height or higher than ear level.

Set your surround sound free! Optional Panasonic wireless accessory (SH-FX70)

You can enjoy surround speaker sound wirelessly when you use the optional Panasonic wireless accessory ( SH-FX70). (

For details, please refer to the operating instructions for the optional Panasonic wireless accessory.

≥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.

≥Positioning speakers in front

It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position. However the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.

If irregular colouring occurs on your TV

The center speaker is 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 demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

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.

Caution

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides. e.g. Center speaker
