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.
1 Thread the string (not included) through the slot on the
rear of the speaker to prevent it from falling over.

Attaching to a wall
1 Drive a screw (not included) into a wall. 2 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of
supporting 10 kg per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers.
[HT870]
When mounting the front and surround speaker to a wall, we recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling (page 5).Use of optional speaker cables are recommended for wall-mounted front and surround speakers. (You can also remove the speaker cables
from the pipes supplied with this system.)

Fitting speaker stands (not included)
[HT878] [HT870] (Center speaker only)[HT520] Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them. Observe the diameter and length of the screws and the distance between screws as shown in the diagram.
The stands must be able to support over 10 kg.The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high position.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points. Place speakers on flat secure bases.
STEP2 Locating
Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover
walls and windows with thick curtains.
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the
seating position. The angles in the diagrams are approximate.

Locating
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.
Main unit
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
Center speaker
Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it
is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.
To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top
of the television.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
Caution
Hold the speakers by the sides. Applying pressure to the front net can damage the speaker.
e.g. [HT520]
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 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.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The supplied 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 farther away from the television.
Caution
The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only
as indicated in this setup. 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.

STEP3 Connecting speakers with the subwoofer
Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.
\Note]
Never short-circuit positive (i) and negative (j) speaker wires.Be sure to connect only positive (copper) wires to positive (i) terminals and negative (silver) wires to negative (j) terminals.
Incorrect connection can damage the speakers.

S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. The description of the component video input terminals depends
on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
Connect to terminals of the same color.
[The\United\Kingdom,\Continental\Europe\and\Russia]
When making this connection, select “Video/Y PB PR” or
“S-Video/Y PB PR” from QUICK SETUP (‹ page 14).
SCART (AV) terminal
To improve picture quality, you can change the video signal output from the SCART (AV) terminal from “Video” to either “S-Video” or “RGB” to suit the type of television you are using. Select “S-Video/ Y PB PR” or “RGB/No Output” from QUICK SETUP (‹ page 14).
To enjoy progressive video
Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P
compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)
When playing NTSC discs, change video output mode to
“480P” (page 23) or press [PROGRESSIVE] on the main unit so “PROG.” appears on the display.
All Panasonic televisions that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.
[Note]
Output from this unit is interlace if you have connected to the television through the VIDEO OUT, S-VIDEO OUT or SCART (AV) terminal or when playing PAL discs, even if “PROG.” is on the display.
