How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Note the following points:
≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper
ventilation.
≥ 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 16.
Setup example (“Surround layout (Recommended)”: Standard
surround placement)
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same
distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.
§1 Position with at least 5 cm of space on all sides for proper ventilation.
§2 Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt
the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.
§3 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.
Depending on the room layout, you may like to use all the speakers at the
front (“Front layout (Alternative)”) (B 8, Easy 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 colouring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected on 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.

settings necessary to output the audio.
Recommended connection to a TV
This connection provides a much purer picture than the VIDEO OUT
terminal.
≥ Do not make the video connections through the VCR.
Due to copy guard protection, the picture may not be displayed properly.
To enjoy progressive video
≥ Connect to a progressive output compatible TV.
– Select “Progressive” in “Video Out (I/P)” in Video menu. (B 14)
≥ Panasonic TVs with 576/50i·50p, 480/60i·60p input terminals are
progressive compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another
brand of TV.
If you have various sound sources (such as Blu-ray Disc player, DVD recorder,
VCR, etc.), connect them to the available inputs on the TV and the TV output
should then be connected to the AUX/TV terminal of the main unit.
step 3 AC mains lead connection
Conserving power
The main unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is in
standby mode (approx. 0.45 W). To save power when the unit is not to be
used for a long time, unplug it from the household mains socket.
You will need to reset some memory items when plugging back the main
unit.
≥ The supplied AC mains lead is for use with the main unit only.
Do not use it with other equipment. Also, do not use cords for other
equipment with the main unit.
≥ Please use the supplied AC mains lead suitable for the household mains
socket.
Power failure resume
This unit will memorize the playback position when there is a power
failure.
After the power supply recovers, turn on your TV and the main unit.
Playback will resume from the point at which it was stopped.
≥ The resume playback timing may vary a few seconds.
≥ This function may not work for files that do not have resume playback.
≥ The position is cleared if the disc tray is opened or the USB device is
removed.

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 kg 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, and personal injury.
1 Drive a screw (not supplied) into the wall.
2 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).
e.g., Surround speaker
DO NOT DO
≥ In this position, the speaker will
likely fall if moved to the left or
right.
∫ Tips
Use the measurements indicated below to identify the screwing positions
on the wall.
≥ Leave at least 20 mm of space above the speaker and 10 mm on each
side to allow enough space for fitting the speaker.
∫ To prevent speakers from falling
Front speaker, Surround speaker, Center speaker
e.g. Front speaker
≥ Move the speaker so that the
screw is in this position.
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth
≥ Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥ Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that
came with the cloth.
Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause
malfunction. Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although
this depends on the operating environment.
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. Failure to
do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.
