It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the condition
of the recording.

∫ DVD-R discs

Panasonic DVD-R recorded and finalized on a Panasonic DVD video
recorder are played as DVD-Video on this unit.
It may not be possible to play these discs in all cases due to the type
of disc or condition of the recording.

≥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 electric-

ity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs with

exposed adhesive from tape or left over peeled-off stickers.)

≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
≥Do not use discs printed with label printers available on the market.

∫ Do not place or store discs in the following

places

≥Locations exposed to direct sunlight

Simple setup

STEP

Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you
cannot set them up on an even surface.
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.

Front speakers (1 Left 2 Right)

[DT300] SB-DT300 [DT100] SB-DT100

Simple setup

≥Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid

distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.

≥The left and right speakers are the same.

Main unit

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

Locating [DT300] ]DT100]

Center speaker (5) SB-AFC301

≥You can also put this speaker directly under the

television.

≥Do not place the center speaker on the main unit

as sound quality will be affected.

≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can dis-

rupt the picture if it is placed directly on the tele­vision. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.

Subwoofer (6) SB-W300

Place near the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it won’t cause vibration.

Stacking

AV control receiver

DVD/CD Player

≥After you have completed setup and connection, wind the ex-

cess cord and keep together with string.

≥The front speaker nets can be removed.

Notes on speaker use

≥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 receiving howling from a microphone

or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous sig-

nals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
–When adjusting the sound quality.
–When turning the unit on or off.

Surround speakers (3 Left 4 Right) SB-AFC301

Place either side of the seating position, or slightly to the
rear, about 1 meter higher than ear level.
≥The left and right speakers are the same.

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 per­formance.

≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using

methods other than those described in this manual.

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 setup 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.

GlossarySafety 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.

Bitstream

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

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo­ratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also
be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be
recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as
2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving pic­ture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
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 adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture (I-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 or P-pictures.

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

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

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs.

Reference

MP3

A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows
audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its original size without overtly
hurting audio quality.

When creating MP3 files to play on this unit

≥Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended for-

mats)

≥Files: MP3 files with the suffix “.mp3” or “.MP3”

≥To have this unit play files in a certain order, prefix folder and file

names with numbers in the order you want to play them. This may
not work in all cases.

Not compatible with multi-session recordings

If you record MP3 onto CD-R/CD-RW over a number of sessions,
this unit can play only the recordings made in the first session.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and infor­mation with menus.
