Caution for AC Mains Lead

(For Saudi Arabia and Kuwait)

(“GS” area code model only)

For your safety, please read the following text carefully. This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live. As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal

Caution for AC Mains Lead / Safety precaution

which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL Ó OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.

THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.

Before use

Remove the connector cover.

How to replace the fuse

The location of the fuse differ according to the type of AC mains plug (figures A and B). Confirm the AC mains plug fitted and follow the instructions below. Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.

1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

Safety precaution

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life. Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltag e

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and 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.

RQTX0099

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.

≥ 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 damage to the wall or speakers.

Positioning

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.

[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.

≥ [PT865]

: Using “Auto speaker setup” (➜ 33) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place

them.

Simple Setup

Subwoofer

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.

[PT865]

Wireless system

Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m from the main unit.

Front speakers

60°

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.

Center speaker

Positioning

[PT865]

Main unit

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.

Surround speakers

e.g.

[PT565]

Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

Digital transmitter

120°

[PT865]

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

Wireless system

Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m

Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W1] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.

[PT565] [PT560] :

Set your surround free! Optional Panasonic wireless accessory (example: SH-FX67)

You can enjoy surround speaker sound wirelessly when you use the optional Panasonic wireless accessory (example: SH-FX67). For details, please refer to the operating instructions for the optional Panasonic wireless accessory.

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

Simple Setup

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.

e.g. Center speaker

DO NOT

≥ Do not stand on the base.
