Speaker setup

(for SC-HT07)

Front and surround speaker assembly

• To prevent damage or scratches, lay a soft cloth and perform assembly on it.

• For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.

Attach the pipe to the bases.

Thread the speaker cable through the base.

Thread the speaker cable through here.Groove

Insert the pipe.

Speaker setup (for SC-HT07) Step 1

Attach the stand to the speaker.

Insert the pipe while slightly pulling on the speaker cable.

Secure the pipe to the base.

Large screws (included)

Ensure the screws are securely fastened by lightly tightening the left and right side screws alternately until fully tightened. (The heads of the screws protrude slightly even if you have fully tightened them.)

The supplied stands are specially designed for attachment to Panasonic SB-FS927 front speakers and surround speakers. Only use as indicated in this setup.

Ensure the stand is fastened on straight by lightly

tightening the top and bottom screws alternately until fully tightened.

• There is no difference between the right and left speakers and stands.

You can also attach to the upper rear of the speaker. When attached to the upper rear, you can adjust the height of the speakers between 625 mm and 796 mm. When attached to the

RQT7384

lower rear, you can adjust the height of the speakers between 968 mm and 1138 mm. (Speaker height adjustment

è procedure 3)

Small screws (included)

For your reference

You can enjoy good acoustics by adjusting the height of the front speaker with the height of the television so the center positions of both are approximately the same. It is usually better to make the surround speakers a little higher.

Supplied accessories

Adjust the speaker height.

Fit the speaker cable into the base cover groove as far as

possible.

Preventing the speakers from falling over

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to a wall (diagram on the right).

• Obtain the screws appropriate to the walls and pillars to which the they are going to be fastened.

• Consult with 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.

Placing the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

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.

• Place speakers too close to floors,

walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain.

Front speakers (left right)

Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.

Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area.

Surround speakers (left right)

Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV. Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a

Caution

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.

• The main unit and supplied speakers are only to be used as indicated in this manual. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the receiver and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk or fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

RQT7384

• Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

Note

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