∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over (Front and surround speakers)
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall
(‹right diagram ).
≥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.

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.
Do not use a front speaker as
a surround speaker or vice
versa. Verify the type of
speaker with the label on the
rear of the speaker.

Speaker labels
≥The left and right speaker pairs are the same with respect to the front and
surround speakers.
Setup example
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately
the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the
diagrams are approximate.
≥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.
Main unit
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.

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.
≥\Russia] When making this connection, select “Video/Y PB PR” or
“S-Video/Y PB PR” from QUICK SETUP (‹ page 10).
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 10).
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 19) 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.
