THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A. FCC Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

≥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution:To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and use only shielded interface cables when connecting to peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2)this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES IN THE U.S.A. AND CANADA

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

Contains FCC ID: RYYWYPAEBUX4 Contains IC:4389B-WYPAEBUX4

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.

FCC and IC require this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product.

This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Preparing cables and making connection

1 Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when making cable connections.

2 Connecting the speaker cables. Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.

≥[BTT770] Be sure to use the speaker cables that have a large connector and short cable when you use the wireless system.

e.g. Surround speaker

r: White s: Blue line

Push!

Be sure to match the number on each sticker with the connector color.

≥Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.

≥Don’t 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 before connecting the appropriate cable.

≥To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables with care not to stumble or hook.

≥Do not hold the speaker in one hand to avoid injury by dropping the speaker when carrying.

[BTT770] [BTT370] [BTT273]

∫ Preventing the speakers from falling

≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

≥Use a string of less than ‰ 2.0 mm (3/32q), which is capable of supporting over 10 kg (22 lbs).

e.g., [BTT770]

AString (not supplied)

Thread from the wall to the speaker and tie tightly.

STEP 2 : 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. ≥ Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

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

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.

≥Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32z) away from the system for proper ventilation.

DSurround speakers

≥Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear level. E [BTT770] Wireless System

≥Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m (33 ft.) from the main unit, and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.

≥To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the wireless system, position it with at least 5 cm (2z) of space on all sides.

≥Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

	[BTT370]	You can enjoy surround speaker
		sound wirelessly when you use the
		optional Panasonic wireless
		accessory (SH-FX71).
		For more details, refer to the operating
		instructions for the optional wireless system.
		≥ When using the SH-FX71 (optional), RMS
		TTL power output is changed. ( 48)

≥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.

≥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.

≥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.

VQT3D27 ≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 42.

∫ If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

[BTT770]

∫ Wireless system

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).

	Wireless	Wireless LAN:
	System
		approx. 2 m (61/2 ft.)

Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m (61/2 ft.)

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, 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.

[BTT770] [BTT370]

∫ Upgrade your system to 7.1-channel system

The main unit is designed to enjoy the 7.1ch surround sound. By connecting 2 units of the Panasonic wireless system SH-FX71 with 4 speakers, more theater-like effect can be available.

Necessary equipment:

[BTT770]

≥1 optional wireless system (SH-FX71)

≥2 additional speakers

[Impedance: 3 ≠ to 6 ≠, Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)]
