≥ 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.

≥ Positioning speakers in front

It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position.
However, the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.

≥ 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.

≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 42.

You can enjoy surround speaker
sound wirelessly when you use the
optional Panasonic wireless
accessory (SH-FX71).

For more details, refer to the operating
instructions for the optional wireless
system.

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.

≥ Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.

Setup example

Place the front, centre, surround speakers at approximately
the same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.

[BT330]

[BT735]

Using “Auto Speaker Setup” (> 19) is a convenient way to get
the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are
unable to place them.



≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper

ventilation.

A Centre speaker

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

B Front speakers
C Subwoofer
D Surround speakers

≥ Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear

level.

∫ If irregular colouring occurs on your TV,

turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

∫ Upgrade your system to 7.1-channel

system

The main unit is designed to enjoy the 7.1ch surround sound.
By connecting 2 units of the Panasonic wireless system
SH-FX71 with 4 speakers, more theatre-like effect can be
available.

Necessary equipment:

≥ 2 optional wireless systems (SH-FX71)
≥ 2 additional speakers

Glossary

AVCHD

AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution
HD images.

BD-J

Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive
features in addition to playing normal video.

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Deep Colour

This unit incorporates HDMI (V.1.4, Content Type) technology
that can reproduce greater colour gradation (4096 steps) when
connected to a compatible TV.
You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colours, with
smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour banding.
[A lower colour gradation (256 steps), without Deep Colour, will
be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support
Deep Colour.
The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the
connected TV.]

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)

DLNA is a standard that makes DLNA Certified digital
electronics easier and more convenient to use on a home
network.

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 multi-channel audio.

Dolby Digital Plus

Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel
output.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.

DTS-HD Master Audio | Essential

This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/

7.1 ch and 192 kHz/2 ch or less. In addition, faithful
reproduction of the master audio is enabled using lossless
audio encoding technology. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.

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.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between
the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at
low volumes but still hear dialogue clearly.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.

Local storage

This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for
playing BD-Live on BD-Video.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

These are a kind of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found
on CDs.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

This is one format for converting analogue audio into digital
audio, enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to play stereo sources on 5.1
channel.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.

Down-mixing

This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found
on some discs into fewer channels.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

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

DTS-HD

DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in
movie theatres. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible
equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)

This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive
Panasonic algorithm. Various processing is supported,
including a high-level conversion of the TV scanning format
from interlace to progressive and a high-level conversion of
standard resolution (480i or 576i) video signal to a 1080 High
Definition video signal.
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal
resolution to the connected TV.

x.v.Colour

x.v.ColourTM is a name for devices that are compatible with the
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded colour
in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal
transmission.
You can enjoy vivid colours of wider colour ranges for a more
realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the
x.v.Colour

24p

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per
second (motion-picture film). Many BD-Video movie contents
are recorded in 24 frames/second in accordance with the film
materials.
