Getting started
Before use
Getting started
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)
≥ The supplied IR Blaster is only compatible with
Panasonic TVs.

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.

AC mains lead connection
≥ Connect only after all other connections
are completed.
※
A To a household mains socket
B AC mains lead for the main unit (supplied)
C AC mains lead for the active subwoofer
(supplied)
Insert the AC mains lead fully into the main
§
unit.
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.
