Getting started

STEP 1: Positioning

For optimum position

Place the front, centre and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.

Adjust the volume using the Delay time function if the distance between each speaker and the seating position is not equal. (> 41)

Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear level.

E[BTT790] Wireless system

To avoid interference, maintain approx. 2 m between the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

Wireless LAN:

system

 

 

Cordless phone

Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m from the main unit.

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

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

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

Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

For optional wall mount, refer to page 42.

[BTT583] [BTT490]

Enjoy surround speaker sound wirelessly

Use the optional Panasonic wireless system (SH-FX71).

Upgrade to 7.1-channel system

The main unit is designed to enjoy the 7.1ch surround sound. A more theatre-like effect is possible with a wireless connection.

Necessary equipment:

Wireless system (SH-FX71) [BTT790] 1 optional system

[BTT583] [BTT490] 2 optional systems

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

For more details, refer to the operating instructions for SH-FX71.

The WIRELESS LINK indicator lights green when this unit and SH-FX71 are connected wirelessly. You can also check the

link status if you press and hold the [SOUND] of this unit. When WIRELESS LINK is turned on, the main unit's display shows the message, “WIRELESS SPEAKERS LINKED”.
