Simple setup
Preparation
≥To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it.
≥For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.
≥Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.
≥There is no difference between the right and left speakers and pipes.
[HT730]
You can use the front speakers without assembling with the stands. In this case, attach the included 
rubber pads to the base of the speakers. This prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move 
or fall over. Use 3 or 4 pads per speaker.
1Attach the pipes to the bases.
1Insert pipe B.
2Secure pipe B to the base.
Ensure the screws are securely fastened.
2Assemble the pipes.
1Thread the speaker cable from pipe A through pipe B and 
the base.
For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not 
crease), pass the folded portion through the pipe, and then pull 
the rest of the cable through the base.
2Join pipe A to pipe B.
3Secure the pipes.
Ensure the screws are securely fastened.
3Attach the pipes to the speakers.
Slot the screw head in between the 2 stoppers of the speaker 
groove.
Ensure the pipe is fastened on straight by gradually tightening the 
right and left screws alternately until fully tightened.
To prevent a short-circuit, do not cover the connection 
terminals with the pipe.
4Connect the speaker cables.
5Secure the speaker cables to the bases.
STEP1Front speaker assembly
The supplied stands are specially designed for 
attachment to Panasonic SB-FS730 or SB-FS930 
front speakers. Use only as indicated in this setup.

1Assemble the speaker stands.
1Thread the speaker cable through the base.
For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not 
crease), pass the folded portion through the hole, and then pull 
the rest of the cable through the base.
2Insert the pipe.
3Secure the pipe to the base.
Ensure the screws are securely fastened.
2Attach the stands to the speakers.
Ensure the stand is fastened on straight by gradually tightening the 
top and bottom screws alternately until fully tightened.
You can also attach to the lower rear of the speaker.
The height of the speaker can be changed when attaching the 
stand to the upper rear or lower rear of the speaker.
3Connect the speaker cables.
4Secure the speaker cables to the bases.
∫Preventing the speakers from falling over [HT730] [HT930]
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the 
wall (‹diagram right).
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match 
the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the 
appropriate procedure when attaching 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.
1Thread the string (not included) through the slot on the 
rear of the speaker to prevent it from falling over.
2Loop the string through the screw eye and tie tightly.

≥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 directly on top 
of the television.
Active 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.
Caution
Do not stand on the base 
and shake the speaker. 
Be cautious when children 
are near.
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 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.
STEP2Positioning
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 left and right speakers are the same with respect to the front and surround 
speaker pairs.

Setup example
[HT730]
Main unit
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately 
the same distance from the seating position. 
The angles in the diagram are approximate.≥Other speaker setup options 
(‹page 29).
e.g. [HT730]
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 farther away from the 
television.
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.

≥Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.
≥The terminals of the subwoofer have high output power. Carefully connect the speaker wires.
[Note]
≥[HT930] Even though the subwoofer shown is different, you can connect the speakers to the subwoofer in the same way.
≥Never short-circuit positive (i) and negative (j) speaker wires.
≥Be sure to connect only positive ([HT730]: white, [HT930]: copper) wires to positive (i) terminals and negative ([HT730]: blue, [HT930]: silver) 
wires to negative (j) terminals. Incorrect connection can damage the speakers.
≥Do not connect through the video cassette recorder.
Due to copy guard protection, the picture may not be displayed properly.
≥Turn the television off before connecting, and refer to the television’s operating instructions.
∫Television with a VIDEO IN terminal
∫Television with an S-VIDEO IN terminal
S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-VIDEO OUT 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.)
∫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 (P
B/PR) 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/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). 
Connect to terminals of the same color.
