Front and surround speaker assembly
[Note]
The front and surround speaker pairs as well as the pipe pairs are
different.
– Check the label on the rear of the speaker before attaching the
pipe (‹ page 8).
– The pipe with the shorter cable is for the front speaker unit.
Preparation
≥To prevent damage or scratches, lay a soft cloth and perform
assembly on it.
≥For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.
1 Attach the pipe to the base.
1 Thread the speaker cable through the base.
2 Insert the pipe.
3 Secure the pipe to the
base.
Ensure the screw is
securely fastened.
2 Attach the stand to the front and
surround speaker.
≥
There is no difference between the right and left speakers and stands.
≥Using the polyfoam included with this unit may be convenient.
1 Remove the screw and separate the mounting plate into
two parts.
2 Attach the plate A to the speaker.
Ensure the plate A is fastened on straight by lightly tightening the
top and bottom screws alternately until fully tightened.
You can also attach to the upper rear of the speaker.
The height of the speaker is indicated in the diagram
(‹ page 5) when attaching the plate A to the upper rear or
lower rear of the speaker.
3 Place the pipe on the plate A and attach the plate B.
4 Secure the plate with the same screw removed in
procedure 1.
Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting the assembly, setup, and
connection.

∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over (Front and surround speakers)
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall
(‹diagram right).
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the
walls and pillars to which the screw eyes 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.
1 Thread the string (not included) through the slot on the
rear of the speaker to prevent it from falling over.
2 Loop the string through the screw eye and tie tightly.
For your reference
You can enjoy good acoustics by
adjusting the height of the speaker
with the height of the television so the
center positions of both are
approximately the same.

∫ 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.
e.g. [HT520] Front speaker
Wall or pillar
230 mm
Front and surround speakers [HT870]

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.
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 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

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

≥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.
