Getting Started

Quick Start Guide

≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls

or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate

procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not

have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in

damage to the wall or speakers.

≥Use a string of less than ‰2.0 mm, which is capable of supporting over

10 kg.

Caution

≥Do not stand on the base. Be cautious when children are near.

≥When carrying the speaker, hold the stand and base parts.

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.

[Note]

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

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)”) (B9, EASY SETUP settings).

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, a

microphone, 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 with 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

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

Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate

operating instructions.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other

connections are completed.

Pay attention to the type of speaker and the connector colour when you

place the speakers.

Main unit (rear)

Connect to the terminals of the same colour.

Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when making cable

connections.

Speakers (rear)

Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.

i: White

j: Blue line

≥Be careful not to cross (short circuit) or reverse the polarity of the

speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.

extra surround speakers to the main unit.

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.

[PT980] You can enjoy surround speaker sound

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked

operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) under “HDAVI

Control”. You can use this function by connecting the equipment with the

HDMI cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment for

operational details.

≥VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by

HDMI which is an industry standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer

Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and

added. As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that

supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.

≥This unit supports “HDAVI Control 5” function.

“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of December,

2009) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This

standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI

equipment.

≥Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment

supporting VIERA Link function.

The TV with “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function enables the following
