IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions
listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-
type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the
obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
∫Tapes
≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is
unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.
≥Break out the tape’s tab to prevent
accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a
double layer of adhesive tape when you
want to use the tape for recording again.
∫S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)
You can play tapes recorded with the S-VHS system, however some
noise may occur with some types and this unit cannot take
advantage of S-VHS’s high resolution.
This unit cannot make S-VHS recordings.
∫Tape care
Poor quality or damaged tapes can cause the heads to become dirty
and malfunction. Store your tapes carefully and discard when they
become dirty or damaged.
Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt or those that are
extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to
become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher vol0.(27(er3tta.546 5g19.2(o6-7.1(1.)-7( )s[(S. So wnd t6(e sou)-7ds “l.

∫Attaching to a wall
[Note]
≥The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 Ib.) per screw.
Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and
speakers.
≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.
1Drive a screw (not included) into a wall.
2Fit the speaker securely onto the screws with the holes.
∫Fitting speaker stands (not included)
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.
Observe the diameter and length of the screws and the distance between screws as shown in the diagram.
≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg (22 lb.).
≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high position.

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.
≥The front left, right and surround speakers are all the same.
≥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.
Main unit
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system
for proper ventilation.
Center speaker
≥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.
≥To prevent the speakers from falling do not place the speakers
directly on top of the television.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy
shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm (4q) at the rear for ventilation.
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 are receiving howling from 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 coloring occurs on your television
The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a
television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions
and setup 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.

Connect video cables directly to your television
The video signals on DVDs and videotapes have copyright
protection. The video may not be shown correctly if you connect
through an A/V selector or other equipment.
75 ≠ coaxial cable
This cable carries broadcast signals to the television whether the
unit is on or off so you do not need to connect the antenna directly
to the television.
It does not carry other signals from this unit, so make sure you
connect the television to VIDEO OUT. Contact your dealer if your
television does not have the corresponding terminal.

∫Connecting a television with COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals
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/CB, PR/CR) 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.
≥After making this connection, change the black level for a better
picture (➜page 30, Video—Black Level Control).
To enjoy progressive video
≥Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P
compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if
connected to an incompatible television.)
≥All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P

∫Connecting a television with an S-VIDEO IN terminal
S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance
(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
[Note]
Connect to a different terminal group than that you used for the
video cable (e.g., “VIDEO 2”).
Picture from this unit’s VHS will not appear when you use the same
group input terminal connections because the S-video terminal
input takes precedence.
For better video from DVD
The following connections are for video from the DVD section only. Make sure you have connected the VIDEO OUT terminal with the
television to view video from the VHS section (➜page 14).
You may need to change the video-input mode on the television to view video from the VHS and DVD sections. Read your television’s
operating instructions for details.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)
≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of
sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
Naming folders and files
At the time of recording, prefix folder
and file names with 3-digit numbers in
the order you want to play them (this
may not work at times).
Files must have the extension:
“.WMA” or “.wma”
“.MP3” or “.mp3”
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”
[WMA]
≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
[MP3]
≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
≥Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1
and 48 kHz.
[JPEG]
≥To view JPEG files on this unit:
–Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF Standard
(Design rule for Camera File system) Version 1.0. Some digital
cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF
Standard Version 1.0 like automatic picture rotation which may
render a picture un-viewable.
–Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different
name.
≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other
such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play
associated sound.
