(not included)

FM outdoor antenna (Using a TV antenna (not included))

The antenna should be installed by a competent technician.

≥ 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.

≥ Use a string of less than ‰2.0 mm, which is capable of supporting over

10 kg.

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 stand on the base. Be cautious when children are near. ≥ When carrying the speaker, hold the stand and base parts.

step 2 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 (“Surround layout (Recommended)”: Standard

surround placement) Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Caution

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

[PT980]

You can enjoy surround speaker sound wirelessly when you use the optional Panasonic wireless accessory (SH-FX71).

For details, please refer to the operating instructions for the optional Panasonic wireless accessory.

step 3 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.

Speaker connections

Pay attention to the type of speaker and the connector colour when you place the speakers.

Main unit (rear) Connect to the terminals of the same colour.

Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when making cable connections.

Speakers (rear)

Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.

i: White j: Blue line

≥ Be careful not to cross (short circuit) or reverse the polarity of the

speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.

[PT980]

When using the optional wireless system, do not attempt to connect any extra surround speakers to the main unit.

Radio antenna connections

Getting Started

Quick Start Guide

§1 Position with at least 5 cm of space on all sides for proper ventilation.

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

§3 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.

Depending on the room layout, you may like to use all the speakers at the front (“Front layout (Alternative)”) (B 9, EASY SETUP settings).

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, a

microphone, 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.

Using the VIERA Link “HDAVI ControlTM”

What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) under “HDAVI Control”. You can use this function by connecting the equipment with the HDMI cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment for operational details. ≥ 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 5” function.

“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of December,

2009) 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: Easy control only with VIERA remote control (for “HDAVI Control 2 or later”) (B 16).

Preparation

≥ Confirm that the HDMI connection has been made (B 8). ≥ Set “VIERA Link” to “ON” (B 19, HDMI menu). ≥ To complete and activate the connection correctly, turn on all VIERA

Link “HDAVI Control” compatible equipment and set the TV to the corresponding HDMI input mode for this unit.

Setting the TV audio for VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”

Select “AUX”, “ARC” or “D-IN” to work with the linked operations. Refer to TV audio setting in EASY SETUP (B 9) or “TV AUDIO” in HDMI menu (B 19). Confirm the audio connection to the AUX terminal (for “AUX”), HDMI AV OUT terminal (for “ARC”) or DIGITAL AUDIO IN OPTICAL terminal (for “D-IN”) (B 8).

Setting the STB audio for VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”

Select “D-IN” to work with the linked operations. Refer to STB setting in “Making settings for digital audio input” (B 10). Confirm the audio connection to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN OPTICAL terminal (for “D-IN”) (B 8).

Whenever the connection or settings are changed, reconfirm the points above.

§1 “AUX”, “ARC” or “D-IN” (DIGITAL IN) works depending on the TV audio setting (B above, Setting the TV audio for VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”).

§2

“D-IN” (DIGITAL IN) works depending on the STB audio setting (B above, Setting the STB audio for VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”).
