USO_

RQTS067

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions care-

tully, Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit

itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

1. Power Source--The unit should be connected to power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as

marked on the unit.

2. Polarization--If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. It you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection--AC power supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Nonuse Periods--When the unit is not used, turn the power off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be

unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Environment I

Outdoor Antenna Grounding--If an outside antenna is con- nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded

so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with re-

spect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con- nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure below.

Heat--The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators and the like.

it also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 35°C (95°F).

Condensation--Moisture may form on the lens in the following conditions...

eimmediately after a heater has been turned on. ein a steamy or very humid room. ewhen the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a

warm one.

If moisture forms inside this unit, itmay not operate properly. To

correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the moisture to evaporate.

[

Placement ]

1. Ventilation--The unit should be situated so that its location or

position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow

10 cm (4") clearance from the rear of the unit.

2. Foreign Material--Care should be taken sothat objects do not

fall into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this

unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

3. Magnetism--The unit should be situated away from equipment

or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

4. Stacking--Do not piece heavy objects, other than system com-

ponents, on top of the unit.

5. Surface--Place the unit on a flat, level surface. 6, Carts and Stands--The unit should be used only with a cart or

stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. A The unit and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and un- even surfaces may cause the unit and cart combi-

nation to overfum.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting--The unit should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling, unless specified in this operating instructions.

(-_ backcover for details.)

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moist-

ened with mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

2. Water end Moisture--Do not use this unit near water--for ex-

ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

Damp basements should also be avoided.

1. Damage Requiring Service--The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: (a) The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or (b) Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or

(d) The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance; or

(e) The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

2. Servicing--The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in the operating instructions. Allother

servicing should be referred to an authorized service personnel.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur- chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to

consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip- ment offers, This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-

ation's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound

come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-- and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive

noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound, So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level

BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

eStart your volume control at a low setting. eS[owly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: eSet the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

CAUTION!

DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A BOOK- CASE, BUILT IN CABINET OR IN ANOTHER CONFINED

SPACE IN ORDER TO KEEP WELL VENTILATED CONDI- TION. ENSURE THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER MA- TERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION CONDITION TO PREVENT RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO OVERHEATING.

Use of batteries ]

oAlign the poles (+ and -) properly when inserting the batteries. oDo not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types

(manganese and alkaline, etc.).

oNever subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt

to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.

elf the remote control is not to be used for a long pedod of time,

remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.

oDo not attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries. oDe not use rechargeable type batteries.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can damage items the fluid cantacts and may cause a fire. If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer. Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any

part of your body.

[ Surround speakers J

We recommend that surround speakers be placed on the side of, or

slightly behind, the listener at ear level.

Place the speakers with the Panasonic logo facing toward the listen-

ing position.

However, the position should be adjusted to your personal prefer-

ence, because the effect varies to some degree depending upon the type of music and the music soume.

For your reference

Even if you are forced to put your surround speakers on top of your front speakers, this system still allows you to enjoy surround effects (1 pages 41,45, "Virtual rear surround effect").

Attaching to a wall [] Set speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into po-

sition.

The wall or pillar on which the speaker systems are to be attached should be capable of supporting a weight of 5 kg.

Caution

• Use the speakers only with the recommended

system. 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 perfor-

mance.

• Do not attempt to attach these speakers to wails using methods other than those de-

scribed in this manual.

If irregular coloring occurs on your TV These speakers are designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture may be affected with some TVs and set-up com-

binations.

If this occur, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

The TV's demagnetizing function should correct the problem.

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