accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other.
A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

≥ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥ Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

≥ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

≥ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this

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 Owner’s Manual.
≥ Attach using techniques suited to the structure and materials of the installation location.

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.



≥ Keep the safety holders, screws and wall mount brackets out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
≥ The safety holder is to minimize the possibility of damage and harm, but it does not completely guarantee this effect.
≥ 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.

∫ 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, use a lower angle stand or place the main unit without a stand or 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. (> 16)
≥ Do not use the IR Blaster if the TV’s remote control sensor is not blocked by the main unit.

Wireless interference

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

A The main unit
B Wireless router, cordless phone and

other electronic devices:
Approx. 2 m (6

1

/2 ft)



≥ Do not use the main unit in a metal cabinet.
≥ If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the main unit further away from

the TV.

≥ Keep magnetized items away. Magnetized cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the main unit.
