Front speakers
VK91D VK81D
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary.
VK71D
Place the speakers so that the tweeter is on the outside.
Center speaker
•You can also put this speaker directly under the television.
•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.
Surround speakers
The small speakers with the long cords are surround speakers.
Place on either side of listening position, or slightly to the rear, about
1 meter higher than ear level with the Panasonic logo facing towards the listening position.
The effect varies with the type of music and music source.
Subwoofer(s) VK91D VK81D
Place to the right and left ( VK91D ) or right ( VK81D ) of the television,
on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
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.
Note
•The angles in the diagram are approximate.
•Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
•You cannot take the front net off the speakers.
Attaching to a wall
Surround and center speakers can be attached to walls.
Set the speaker onto screws (not included) and slide through bracket to lock into position.
Center speaker
Surround speaker
166 mm
30 35 mm
7.5 9.0 mm
7 9 mm
Note
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg per screw.
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 a thick curtain.
Notes on speaker use
•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 emit strange noise (howling) from a microphone or 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
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
Caution
•Use the speakers only with the recommended system. 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.
STEP2 Speaker connections
Twist and pull off the vinyl tip of the speaker cords.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
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.
To enjoy progressive video
1.Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)
2.In QUICK SETUP, set “Progressive Out” to “Enable”.
3.Change “Progressive” to “480P” (A page 21, Picture Menu—
Video Output Mode).
•All televisions manufactured by Panasonic that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.
•If the unit is connected to the television through VIDEO OUT or S VIDEO OUT, output will be interlace, irrespective of the settings.
