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.

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file size.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel sound.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output. Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames per

second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for motion picture films.

Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL discs) or

30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular TV shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports highdefinition video output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-definition video, a high-definition compatible TV is required.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.

MPEG4

A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

Progressive/Interlaced

The PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i and 480p respectively. Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
