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

Association’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 blar

ing or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sen

sitive 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:

• Start your volume control at a tow setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

RQT5824

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.

The model numbers are printed on the back of the speakers.

Surround speakers (SB-PS90)

The small speakers with the long cords are surround speakers. Place either side of listening position, or slightly to the rear, about 1 meter higher than ear level with the Panasonic logo facing to ward the listening position. The effect varies with the type of music and music source.

•Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32") away from the sys tem for proper ventilation.

•The superwoofers are located on the sides of the speakers. Leave 10-cm clearance for them to be effective.

• Do not place the center speaker on the main unit as sound qual ity will be affected.

Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will negatively affected.

Attaching to a wall

Surround speakers can be attached to a wail. Set the speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into position.

The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 5 kg (11 lb.) per screw.

Caution

• Use the speakers only with the recom mended 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 dam age 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 de scribed in this manual.

Notes on speaker use

D You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if

you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

D Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.

•When playing distorted sound.

•When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone or 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 for best effect

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 curtain.

• Place tweeters and other treble effect units at ear height.

• Place the front speakers at least 5 cm from walls as they have

bass reflex ports in the rear.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Features

•Dolby Digital is a discrete 5.1 (6) channel surround system developed for cinema

use. The sound signals in Dolby Digital format are compressed to 1/10 their original size, allowing an entire movie to be re corded on a single DVD.

•This unit automatically recognizes DVDs that have been recorded with Dolby

Digital.

• Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 5.1 (6) channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 chan nel system.

Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding system that was developed to get a better sense of presence from sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The feeling of position has been improved by the addition of a sepa rate center speaker channel.

•This mode adds surround effects to movie software that hasn't been recorded

with the above systems.

•You can adjust the volume of the surround speakers to get the best surround effect.

Glossary

Chapter

This is the smallest division on DVD and is roughly equivalent to a track.

Title

This is the largest division on DVD.

Track

This is the smallest division on Video CD and Audio CD, and usually equates to a single song.

PBC (Playback control)

This method of controlling disc play is included on version 2.0 Video CDs. You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

Digital audio

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g. 5.1 chan nel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.

0) This is called decoding,

PCM (Pulse code modulation), Linear PCM

PCM is the usual digital method used for Audio CDs. DVDs have a

greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a higher sampling rate.

Video

Frame

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving pic ture. There are about thirty frames shown each second.

Field

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames.

Frame still and field still

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adapted for use with DVD,

codes frames using these three picture types.

I: Intra coded picture (l-picture)

This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)

This picture is calculated based on past I and P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and Ppictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Sampling rate

This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during con

version to a digital signal. Sampling frequency is expressed in kilo hertz (kHz). A high sampling frequency results in a sound close to the original when played back.
