Preventing the speakers from falling
≥ You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls
or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥ Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate
procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not
have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in

step 2 Positioning
Subwoofer Front speakers
e.g. [PT170]
Center speaker
e.g. [PT170]
Main unit
Surround speakers
e.g. [PT170]
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain
good airflow around the main unit, position it with
at least 5 cm of space on all sides.
Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the
speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed
directly on the TV.
Place to the right or left of the
TV, on the floor or a sturdy
shelf so that it will not cause
vibration. Leave about 30 cm
from the TV.
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Note the following points:
≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥ Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 26.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.
Getting Started
Quick Start Guide
Notes on speaker use
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be
negatively affected.
≥ You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play
sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥ Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:
– When playing distorted sound.
– When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, noise
from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test
disc, or electronic instrument.
– When adjusting the sound quality.
– When turning the unit on or off.
If irregular colouring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
Caution
≥ The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as
indicated in this setup. 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 walls using
methods other than those described in this manual.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

≥ VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by
HDMI which is an industry standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and
added. As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that
supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
≥ This unit supports “HDAVI Control 4” function.
“HDAVI Control 4” is the newest standard (current as of December,
2008) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This
standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI
equipment.
≥ Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment
supporting VIERA Link function.
The TV with “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function enables the following
operation: VIERA Link Control only with TV’s remote control (for
“HDAVI Control 2 or later”) (B 21).
Preparation
≥ Confirm that the HDMI connection has been made (B 7).

cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting
the unit up on a ship or other places where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor
connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull,
bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains
lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock
or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable
gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and
contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or
reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it
is not to be used for a long time.
