Simple Setup
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 5.
]Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
13
/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.
step
1
Positioning
Expand your listening options with a multi-room wireless sound system.
Optional Panasonic wireless accessory SH-FX85
You can enjoy a multi-room wireless sound system when you use the optional Panasonic wireless accessory SH-FX85.
For details, please refer to the operating instructions for the optional Panasonic wireless accessory.
60º
120º
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.
Left and right
speakers are
interchangeable.
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain
good airflow around the main unit, position it with
at least 5 cm (2q) 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 television.
Left and right speakers are
interchangeable.
Place to the right or left of the
television, on the floor or a
sturdy shelf so that it will not
cause vibration. Leave about
30 cm (11
13
/16q) from the
television.
Place the wireless system
within approximately 10 m
(33 ft) from the main unit.
§
Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a
metal cabinet or bookshelf.
Center speaker
Main unit
Digital transmitter
§
Subwoofer
Front speakers
Surround speakers
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.
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 LAN:
approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)
Cordless phone and other
electronic devices:
approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)

Simple Setup
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 coloring occurs on your television
The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a
television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and
setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
e.g. Center speaker
Attaching to a wall
You can attach all of the speakers (except subwoofer) to a wall.
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be
capable of supporting 10 k
g
(22 lbs) per screw. Consult a qualified
building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper
attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers.
1 Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.
2 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).
Fitting speaker stands (not included)
(except subwoofer)
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.
Note the diameter and length of the screws and the distance
between screws as shown in the diagram.
The stands must be able to support over 10 kg (22 lbs).
The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high
position.
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.

Simple Setup
Proceed to step 5 if you are not connecting an iPod to the main unit.
For SC-PT753, use an optional SH-PD10 Panasonic Universal Dock for
iPod.
Charging the iPod
Charging time
[Note]
AC cord must be connected with the main unit.
“OPTION ¢” will be shown on the main unit’s display during iPod
charging in main unit standby mode. It will go off when charging
is finished.
For the above models under “fixed 5-hour charging”,
“OPTION ¢” continues to be displayed throughout this duration,
even when your iPod is fully charged. You can turn off this display
by removing the iPod from the dock.
Compatibility depends on the software version of your iPod.
Conserving power
The main unit and the wireless system consume a small amount of
power when they are turned off (\U.S.A.\and\Canada] main unit: approx.
0.5 W, wireless system: approx. 0.2 W, \Others] main unit: approx. 0.9 W,
wireless system: approx. 0.3 W). To save power when they are not to be
used for a long time, unplug them from the household AC outlet.
You will need to reset some memory items after plugging in the main unit.
[Note]
The included AC power supply cords are for use with the main unit and
wireless system only. Do not use them with other equipment. Also, do
not use cords for other equipment with the main unit or wireless system.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider
how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get
the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring
or distortion—and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal”
can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at
a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear
it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable
sound level:
Leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to
prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
