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 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).

Precautions
Getting started
≥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.
