1Use of the speaker cable stickers is 
convenient when making cable connections.
e.g. Front speaker (L)
A Speaker cable sticker  (supplied)
B Connector
Be sure to match the number on each sticker with the 
connector color.
2Connecting the speaker cables. Insert the 
wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond 
the wire insulation.
≥ [BTT770]  Be sure to use the speaker cables that have a 
large connector and short  cable when you use the 
wireless system. 
e.g. Surround speaker
	≥ Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.
≥ Don’t use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the spe aker before 
connecting the appropriate cable.
≥ To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables with care not to stumble or hook.
≥ Do not hold the speaker in one hand to avoid injury by dropping the speaker when carrying.
[BTT770]  [BTT370]  [BTT273]
∫ Preventing the speakers from falling
≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attachi ng 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 (
3/32q), which is capable of supporting over 10 k g (22 lbs).
e.g.,  [BTT770]  
AString (not supplied)
Thread from the wall to the speaker and tie tightly.
B Rear of the speaker
C Screw eye (not supplied)
D Wall
E Approx.150 mm (5 
29/32q)
Preparing cables and making connection
Thread the speaker cable 
through the base.
≥Use cables with a white connector 
and red connector.
Leave about 
110 mm (4 11/32q) Insert the wire fully.

STEP 2 : Positioning
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
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.
	≥Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32z) away from the system for 
proper ventilation.
A Center speaker
≥Put on a rack or shelf not to interfere with the TVs various 
sensors (ambient light, etc.). Vibration caused by the speaker 
can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.
BFront speakers
C Subwoofer
D Surround speakers
≥
Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear level.E[BTT770]  Wireless System
≥ Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m 
(33 ft.) from the main unit, and in a horizontal position 
with the top panel faced upward.
≥ To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good 
airflow around the wireless system, position it with at 
least 5 cm (2 z) of space on all sides.
≥ Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter 
in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.
	≥ 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.
∫ If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, 
turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
[BTT770]
∫Wireless system
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances 
between the wireless system and other electronic devices 
that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if 
any of these other devices interfere with its communication. 
When this happens, there is a brief interruption in audio 
coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure 
the best possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to 
another location outside the range of the wireless system or 
move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.
[BTT770]  [BTT370]
∫ 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 theater-like effect can be available.
Necessary equipment:
[BTT770]
≥1 optional wireless system (SH-FX71)
≥ 2 additional speakers 
[Impedance: 3 ≠ to 6 ≠, Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)]
[BTT370]  
≥ 2 optional wireless systems (SH-FX71)
≥ 2 additional speakers
[Impedance: 3 ≠ to 6 ≠, Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)]
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.
[BTT370]  You can enjoy surround speaker 
sound wirelessly when you use the 
optional Panasonic wireless 
accessory (SH-FX71).
