HDMI IN (ARC)



TV

Be sure to connect to the TV’s ARC
compatible terminal. (Refer to the operating
instructions for the TV.)

Step 1 Connections

≥ Turn off all equipment before connection and

read the appropriate operating instructions.

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

∫ HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia

Interface)

≥ The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link “HDAVI

Control” (> 25) when used with a compatible
Panasonic TV.

≥ Use the ARC compatible High Speed HDMI Cables.

Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilised.

≥ It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI

cable.

∫ HDMI standby pass-through

Even if the main unit is in standby mode, the audio and/
or video signal from the device connected to the HDMI
AV IN terminal will be sent to the TV connected to the
HDMI AV OUT terminal (the sound will not be output
from this system).

∫ 3D compatibility

Compatible with FULL HD 3D TV and Blu-ray Disc
player.
≥ The main unit can pass-through the 3D video signal

from a 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc player to a FULL
HD 3D TV.

∫ 4K/60p compatibility

Compatible with 4K Ultra HD TV and Blu-ray Disc
player.
≥ This system can pass-through the 4K content of a 4K

compatible equipment to a 4K Ultra HD TV.

≥ When connecting to 4K compatible equipment and

4K Ultra HD TV, use High Speed HDMI cables which
support 18 Gbps bandwidth.

Connection with the TV

1 Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is

labelled “HDMI (ARC)”.

Connection differs depending on the label
printed next to the HDMI terminal.

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

∫ 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 main unit to the
terminal labelled “HDMI (ARC)” on the TV, 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.

2 Make the connection.

[A] Labelled “HDMI (ARC)”

∫ IR (Infrared) Blaster

≥ Do not use the IR Blaster if the TV’s remote control

sensor is not blocked by the main unit. (> 14)

Getting started

Using the IR Blaster







With the IR Blaster connection, it is possible to
send the IR signal received by this system’s
remote control signal sensor to the TV’s sensor.

Use the TV’s remote control within the
operation range of this system’s remote
control signal sensor.

≥ For the operation range, refer to page 8.
≥ Do not use any other IR Blaster except the

supplied one.

1 Connect the jack plug to the main

unit’s Ir SYSTEM terminal.



3 Aim the TV’s remote control at this

system’s remote control sensor and
operate the TV.

≥ When the TV receives signals from both its

remote control and the IR Blaster, their signals
may interfere with each other, making it
impossible for you to operate the TV.

A IR Blaster (supplied)

2 Place the infrared emitter in sight of

the TV’s remote control signal sensor.

Placement example

On the rear of the main unit:

B TV remote control signal sensor
C Infrared emitter
D Adhesive tape



≥ For the location of the TV’s remote control signal sensor,

refer to the operating instructions for the TV.

≥ Select a location that suits the environment.
≥ Make sure to clean the surface, where the adhesive tape

is to be attached.

≥ If you peel off the adhesive tape, the surface may

become damaged and exposed adhesive may remain.
Once you have confirmed the TV is operating correctly,
secure it by attaching the adhesive tape.

Saving energy

The main unit is designed to conserve its
power consumption and save energy.
≥ The main unit will automatically switch to

standby mode when no signal is input and
no operation is performed for approx. 20
minutes. Refer to page 24, “AUTO
POWER DOWN” to turn this function off.

≥ This system consumes a small amount of AC

power (> 32) even when it is turned off. In the
interest of power conservation, if you will not
be using this system for a long time, unplug it
from the household mains socket.

Safety Precautions

Professional installation is required.
The installation should never be done by
any other than a qualified installation
specialist.
PANASONIC DISCLAIMS ANY PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY,
INCLUDING DEATH RESULTING FROM
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR
INCORRECT HANDLING.

≥ Be sure to install the main unit as indicated within this

operating Instructions.

≥ Attach using techniques suited to the structure and

materials of the installation location.

The active subwoofer

Put the subwoofer about 30 cm away from
the TV.

If the TV has wireless LAN components, put the
subwoofer about 2 m away from them.

When carrying the active subwoofer

Take care not to damage the inside speaker
unit.

Caution

≥ This system is to be used only as indicated

in these instructions. Failure to do so may
lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the
speaker, 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 the main unit to a

wall using methods other than those
described in this manual.



≥ Do not hold the main unit in one hand to avoid injury,

you may drop the main unit when carrying it.

≥ To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft

cloth and perform the assembly on it.



≥ The speaker protection cover is attached to the speaker

unit inside the subwoofer. Remove it before use.

Wireless interference

To avoid interference, maintain the following
distances between the main unit/active
subwoofer and other electronic devices that
use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz
band).

A Main unit/active subwoofer
B Wireless router, cordless phone and other

electronic devices: approx. 2 m

Selecting the placement

Page 15

Page 16

method

Choose a placement method that suits you best.

When placing the main unit in a rack or
on a table

≥ Place the main unit on a flat and

horizontal surface.

∫ When placing the main unit in front

of the TV

The main unit 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 interference occurs, move the main unit

further away from the TV. If the TV still does
not function correctly, try using it in a rack or in
the wall mount position.

∫ If the TV’s remote control sensor is

blocked by the main unit

Try using the TV’s remote control from a
different angle. If the problem persists, you can
use the supplied IR Blaster to relay the signal to
the TV. (> 11 )

When attaching the main unit to a wall

≥ Place the main unit on a flat and vertical

surface.



≥ Place the active subwoofer within a few meters of the

main unit and in a horizontal position with the top
panel facing upward.

≥ Do not use the main unit or the active subwoofer in a

metal cabinet.

≥ Placing the active subwoofer 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 main
unit and active subwoofer further away from the TV.

≥ Keep magnetised items away. Magnetised cards,

watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to
the main unit and active subwoofer.

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient
function that offers linked operations of this
system, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) under
“HDAVI Control”.
You can use this function by connecting the
equipment with an HDMI cable. See the
operating instructions for connected
equipment for operational details.

Preparation

1 Confirm that the HDMI connection has been

made. (> 9, 10)
2 Set the “HDAVI Control” operations on the

connected equipment (e.g., TV).
3 For the optimal “HDAVI Control” operations

change the following settings on the

connected TV

≥ Set the default speaker settings to this system.

≥ Set the speaker selection settings to this system.

4 Turn on all “HDAVI Control” compatible

equipment and select the TV’s input for this

system so that the “HDAVI Control” function

works properly.
5 If a device is connected to the HDMI AV IN

terminal, start play to check that the picture

is displayed on the TV correctly.

When the connection or settings are
changed, repeat this procedure.

§1 The availability and function of the settings may vary

depending on the TV. Refer to the operating
