THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.

FCC Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

≥ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ≥ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ≥ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

≥ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC caution: To maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded

interface cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables may result in interference to radio and TV reception. Any changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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.

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 (11 the TV.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm ( 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.

60°

Center speaker

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

Digital transmitter

Wireless system

Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m (33 ft) from 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 system

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

Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)

Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)

120°

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.

Notes on speaker use

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.

RQTX0105

≥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.

Page 7

If irregular coloring 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 demagnetizing 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.

Glossary

Decoder

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

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.

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 color 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.

Playback control (PBC)

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

Progressive/Interlaced

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480p. Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your television 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.
