Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is
refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.
CAUTION!
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE
SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD
BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF
SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE
CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated
below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings

≥For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.
≥Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.
≥There is no difference between the right and left speakers and pipes.
[Note]
≥To prevent the speaker cables from being pulled out of the pipes, leave the plastic wrap on the pipes while assembling the speaker stands.
≥[Continental[Europe\
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 5).
–The pipe with the shorter cable is for the front speaker.
Front and surround speaker assembly
1 Assemble the speaker stands.
1 Thread the speaker cable through the base.
For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not
crease), pass the folded portion through the hole, and then pull
the rest of the cable through the base.
2 Insert the pipe.
3 Secure the pipe to the base.
Ensure the screws are securely fastened.
2 Attach the stands to the speakers.
Ensure the stand is fastened on straight by gradually tightening the
top and bottom screws alternately until fully tightened.

You can also attach to the lower rear of the speaker.
The height of the speaker can be changed when attaching the
stand to the upper rear or lower rear of the speaker.

4 Secure the speaker cables to the bases.
∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall
(➜ diagram below).
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the
walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥Consult 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.

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.

Additional information for wireless setup
This product uses the same radio frequencies as other devices § that
may be present in your home. To help avoid any interference these
other devices may cause during the operation of this product, do not
place them near or in between the transmitter and receiver unit.
This product will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these
other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens
you may notice the blue light on the receiver unit or “ [W] ” (the
wireless indicator) in the main unit’s display flashes, and a brief
interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers. This is
the normal operation of the product working to assure the best
possible performance of your Home Theater System. If the
interference persists, try moving the other devices to another
location outside the range of this product.
§
These other devices include some cordless phones and wireless
computer LAN devices operating in the 2.4GHz band, as well as
microwave ovens.

Positioning
≥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.
Active 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 about 30 cm from the television,
and 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
Caution
Do not stand on the base and
shake the speaker.
Be cautious when children are
near.
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 reverberating due to a record player, a
microphone (except [Continental[Europe]), noise from FM
broadcasts, 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 active subwoofer, supplied speakers and digital
receiver are to be used only as indicated in this setup.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier, the
speakers and/or digital receiver, 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.

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/
YPbPr” or “RGB/No Output” from QUICK SETUP (➜ page 9).
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.
[Continental[Europe]
≥When making this connection, select “Video/YPbPr” or “S-Video/
YPbPr” from QUICK SETUP (➜ page 9). If “RGB/No Output” is
selected, the RGB signal is output from the SCART (AV) terminal,
but no signal is output from the component video output
terminals.
To enjoy progressive video
≥Connect to the component video input terminals on a 625p
(or 576p) or 525p
(or 480p) compatible television. (Video will
not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible
television.)
[Continental[Europe]
≥Panasonic televisions with 625 (576)/50i·50p, 525 (480)/
60i·60p input terminals are progressive compatible. Consult
the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

(For Continental Europe: approx. 0.7 W or for Southeast Asia, the Middle East,
South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait: approx. 0.9 W). To save power when the
unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household mains socket.
You will need to reset some memory items after plugging in the unit.
