Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

¡Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

¡The speaker nets cannot be removed.

Positioning for best effect

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 curtain.

Note

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32") away from the system for proper ventilation.

Center speaker

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

Subwoofer

Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.

Leave 10 cm (4") on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave 10 cm (4") at the rear for ventilation.

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. ¡The description of the component video input

terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).

Connect to terminals of the same color.

¡After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture (\ page 29, Video— Black Level Control).

To enjoy progressive video

¡Connect to the component video (480P) input terminals on a television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)

¡Press [PROGRESSIVE OUT] on the main unit so “PROGRESSIVE” appears on the display (\ page 13).

¡All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.
