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 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:
≥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.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an 
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the 
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within 
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient 
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

Safety precautions
WARNING!
≥Only a qualified building contractor shall install or uninstall this 
unit.
– Improper installation may cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.
≥To prevent injury, the unit must be securely attached to the wall in 
accordance with the installation instructions.
≥Do not install the unit where it cannot support the load.
– If the mounting parts are not strong enough, this may cause the unit to 
fall, resulting in injury.
≥Do not use installation methods other than instructed.
– This may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
≥Do not install the unit at locations other than vertical walls.
– This may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
≥Take the safety factor for mounting strength into account.
– Insufficient strength will cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.
≥The wall on which the unit is to be attached to should be capable of 
supporting 33 kg (72.8 lbs) per screw.
– Insufficient strength of the walls will cause the unit to fall in the long 
run.
≥Do not disassemble or modify the wall-mounting hanger.
– This will cause the unit to fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
CAUTIONS!
≥Do not install this unit at humid or dusty locations, or locations 
where airborne grease or steam may come into contact with the 
unit, or under an air conditioner where water may drip onto the unit.
– This may have negative impact on the unit, resulting in fire or electric 
shock.
≥Secure enough space of more than 30 cm (11 
13/16q) above the main 
unit and more than 10 cm (3 15/16q) on the left and right sides 
respectively. Keep space between the wall and rear of the unit clear 
of obstructions.
– Blocking the exhaust holes on the main unit may result in fire.
≥Use the designated components for installation.
– Otherwise, the main unit may fall and be damaged, resulting in injury.
≥Prevent the mounting screws or power cord from coming into 
contact with metal parts inside the wall during installation.
– Failure to do so may cause electric shock.
≥When removing the main unit, remove the wall mounting screws as 
well.
– Otherwise the wall mounting screws may hit a person and lead to 
injury.
≥Install the unit at a height where the EXT-IN AUX jack
 and operation 
buttons can be seen for safe operation.
– Operating at improper position may cause the unit to fall and be 
damaged, resulting in injury.
∫Notes on installation≥Before installation, read the “Safety precautions” and “Wall mount 
instructions” for correct installation.
≥For optimal performance and to prevent potential problems, do not 
install this unit:
– at locations other than vertical walls.
– near a sprinkler or a sensor.
– near high-voltage lines or power sources.
– near heating device.
– at locations where the unit is subject to vibration or impact.
– near sources of magnetism, heat, vapor, airborne grease, etc.
– at locations where there may be water droplets (e.g. under an air 
conditioner).
≥Do not install this unit under ceiling lights (e.g. spotlight, halogen 
light, etc.).
– Failure to do so may bend the cabinet or lead to damage caused by 
high heat.
≥Use a proper installation method that suits the structure and 
material of the wall.
≥Use a soft blanket or cloth to prevent damage to the product or floor 
during installation.
≥When tightening screws, make sure the screws are not 
loosely-tightened or overtightened.
≥Secure a safe surrounding area and pay attention to safety during 
installation.
≥Panasonic is not liable for incidental or consequential damages 
resulting from improper installation or operation.
