Caution
This unit is to be used only as indicated in these instructions. 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 spe akers to a wall u sing methods other than those described in this manual.
The speaker system
Use a screwdriver ( ) for assembling the speakers.
Do not hold the speakers in one hand to avoid injury, you may drop the speakers when carrying them.
When attaching the speakers to a wall
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 33 kg (72 .8 lbs) per screw.
Con sultation with a qualified installation specialist is recommended when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment
may result in damage to the wall and speakers, and personal injury.
When placing the speakers in front of the TV
The speakers may block or interfere with the TV s various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) sensor,
remo te control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV.
If the stands are being used
Cha nge the height of the stands and/or move the speakers further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function correctly,
try re moving the stands.
If the stands are not used
Move the speakers further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function properly, try placing them beside the TV (
10).
The active subwoofer
When carrying the active subwoofer
Do not hold the active subwoofer from this
opening.
The parts inside may get damaged.
Always hold the bottom of the active subwoofer when
moving it.
Wireless interference
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the main unit/active subwoofer
and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
Main unit/active subwoofer
Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m (6 1/2 ft)
Cordless phone and other electronic devices:
approx. 2 m (6 1/2 ft)
Place the active subwoofer within a few meters of the main unit and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.
Do not use this unit in a metal ca binet.
Placing the active subwoofer too close to the walls and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with
thick curtains.
If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the speakers further awa y from
the TV.
Keep magnetized items away. Magnetize d cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the active subwoofer
and the speakers.

Additional speaker fall prevention measures
To prevent the speakers from falling, it is recommended, as an additional
protection measure, to attach the speakers to the wall or table with a fall
prevention cord (hereafter cord ).
Consultation with a qualified installation specialist concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a
surface that may not have strong enough support is recommended ( 13, 17). Improper attachment may resu lt in damage to
the wall and speakers, and personal injury.
Use a cord tha t is capable of supportin g over 10 k g (22 .05 lbs) (with a diameter of about 1.5 mm (1/16 )).
The safety holder is to minimize the possibility of damage and harm, but it does not guarantee this effect.
Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
Make sure that the slack of the cord is minimal.

Step 3 Connections
Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate owner s manual.
Do not connect the AC power supply cord until all other connections are complete.
HDMI
The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link HDAVI Control ( 30) when used with a compatible Panasonic TV.
Use the High Speed HDMI Cables. It is recommended that you use Panasonic s HDMI cable.
Recommended part number (High Speed HDMI cable):
RP-CDHS15 (1.5 m/4.9 ft), RP-CDHS30 (3.0 m/9.8 ft), RP-CDHS50 (5.0 m/16.4 ft), etc.
Non-HDMI-complian t cables cannot be utilized.
Connection with the TV
Verify if the TV s HDMI terminal is labeled HDMI (ARC) .
Connection differs depending on the label printed next to the HDMI terminal.
Labeled HDMI (ARC) : Connection [A]
Not Labeled HDMI (ARC) : Connection [B]
What is ARC?
ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When you
connect the ma in unit to the terminal labeled HDMI (ARC) on the TV, the optical dig ital audio cable that is u sually required in
order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.
