≥ The active subwoofer and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in these instructions. 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 a wall using methods other than those described in this manual.

Speaker system

≥ Do not hold the speakers in one hand to avoid injury by dropping the speakers when carrying.

∫ When placing the speakers on a wall

The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 33 kg per screw. Consultation with a
qualified building contractor is recommended when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to
the wall and speakers, and personal injury.

∫ When placing the speakers in front of the TV

The speakers may block or interfere with the TV’s various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) sensor, remote
control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV.

≥ If the stands are being used

Move the speakers farther away from the TV. If the TV still does not function correctly, try removing the stands.

≥ If the stands are not used

Move the speakers farther away from the TV. If the TV still does not function correctly, try using them beside the TV (> 8).

Active subwoofer

The remote control signal sensor is located on the active subwoofer.

≥ Use the remote control within the correct operation range.

∫ When carrying the active subwoofer

B Do not hold the active subwoofer from this opening.

The parts inside (speaker unit) may be damaged.

C Always hold the bottom of the active subwoofer when

moving it.



≥ Place the active subwoofer in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.
≥ Placing the active subwoofer and the speakers too close to the walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and

windows with thick curtains.

≥ If irregular colouring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the speakers further away from

the TV.

≥ Keep magnetised items away. Magnetised cards, watches etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the system.

operating instructions for the TV.)

≥ Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are complete.

∫ HDMI

The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” (> 24) when used with a compatible Panasonic TV.
≥ Use High Speed HDMI Cables that have the HDMI logo (as shown on the cover). It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s

HDMI cable.
Recommended part number (High Speed HDMI cable):
RP-CDHS15 (1.5 m), RP-CDHS30 (3.0 m), RP-CDHS50 (5.0 m), etc.

≥ Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilised.

∫ 3D compatibility

Compatible with FULL HD 3D TV and Blu-ray Disc Player
≥ This system can pass through the 3D video signal from a 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc Player to a FULL HD 3D TV.

Basic connection

Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is labelled “HDMI (ARC)”.

The connection will differ when the TV’s HDMI terminal is labelled “HDMI (ARC)” and when it is not.

Labelled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection ]A[
Not labelled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection ]B[ (> 19)

∫ What is ARC?

ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When you
connect the active subwoofer to the terminal labelled “HDMI (ARC)”, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in order
to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.

Make the connection.

Operations

3D sound

e.g., Image of 3D sound field

This system provides a feeling that the sound and
the image are as one. The 3D sound effect will be
applied to Multi-channel audio sources as a factory
preset.

3D sound

Dolby Virtual
Speaker

3D surround
effect

Clear-mode
dialog

With this effect you can enjoy a
surround sound effect similar to

5.1ch.
Adding to the Dolby Virtual

Speaker effect, Panasonic has
applied its own sound field
controlling technology to expand
the sound field forwards,
backwards, upwards and
downwards providing a sound with
depth and force that better
matches 3D images.

Sports commentary and dialogs
from TV dramas are heard as if
the sound is coming from the TV,
giving the feeling that the sound
and the image is as one.
Also, the dialog will stand out from
the other sounds during normal
volume playback and when the
volume is lowered for night time
viewing.

Audio output modes

As a factory preset, Dolby Virtual Speaker and the
3D surround effects will be applied to Multi-channel
audio sources, such as those from a Blu-ray Disc
player or DVD player, etc.
By changing the audio output setting, it is possible
to apply the Dolby Virtual Speaker and 3D surround
effects to 2ch audio sources, such as the audio
from the TV.
