Listening caution

EST. 1924

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

volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal”

can actually be loud and harmful to your

hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at

a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

≥Start your volume control at a low setting.

≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear

it comfortably and clearly, and without

distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable

sound level:

≥Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to

prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.

After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

RQTX0217 Getting Started

Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

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.

≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 23.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32z) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Setup example

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

approximate.

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 coloring 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 demagnetizing 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.

e.g. Center speaker

step 1 Positioning

Subwoofer Front speakers Center speaker

Main unit

Surround speakers

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain

good airflow around the main unit, position it with

at least 5 cm (2z) of space on all sides.

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the

speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed

directly on the TV.

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

(1113/16z) 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.

Using the VIERA Link “HDAVI ControlTM”

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”

VIERA LinkTM is a new name for EZ SyncTM.

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 4” function.

“HDAVI Control 4” is the newest standard (current as of December,

2008) 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

operation: VIERA Link Control only with TV’s remote control (for

“HDAVI Control 2 or later”) (B21).

Preparation

≥Confirm that the HDMI connection has been made (B7).

≥Set “VIERA Link” to “ON” (B25, HDMI menu).

≥To complete and activate the connection correctly, turn on all VIERA

Link “HDAVI Control” compatible equipment and set the TV to the

corresponding HDMI input mode for this unit.

Whenever the connection or settings are changed, reconfirm the points

above.

(Available when using VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” with

“HDAVI Control 3 or later” compatible TV)

This function automatically provides synchronized audio and video

output. (This works only when the source is “DVD/CD”, “AUX” or “D-IN”.)

≥When using “DVD/CD” as the source, set “TIME DELAY” in VIDEO

menu to “0 ms/AUTO” (B24).

You can turn on this unit and the TV, and start playing the disc with a

single press of a button.

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is

called decoding.

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 5.1-channel sound.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.

There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects

are possible.

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.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.

There are about 30 frames shown each second.

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular TV shows these fields one

after the other to create frames.

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up

of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall

quality is high.

A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still

so picture quality is lower.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic

products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed

digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports

high-definition video output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT

terminal. To enjoy high-definition video, a high-definition compatible TV is

required.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with

DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting

the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and

P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. The

benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the

degree of compression.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately

one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and

information with menus.

Progressive/Interlaced

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This

is called 480p.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video

recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Your TV must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog

signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding).

Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger

numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

WMA

WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It

achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller

than that of MP3.
