4 RQT7696 Front speaker assembly Simple setup Front speaker assembly Preparation ≥To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it. ≥For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver. 1Attach the pipe to the base. 1Thread the speaker cable through the base. 2Insert the pipe. 3 Secure the pipe to the base. Ensure the screws are securely fastened by lightly tightening the left and right side screws alternately until fully tightened. (The heads of the screws protrude slightly even if you have fully tightened them.) 2Attach the stand to the speakers. ≥There is no difference between the right and left speakers and stands.≥Using the polyfoam included with this unit may be convenient. Ensure the stand is fastened on straight by lightly tightening the top and bottom screws alternately until fully tightened. ∫Front speaker height (Assembled diagram) 3Adjust the speaker height. ≥Check the screws you tightened in procedures 1 and 2 if the pipe and speaker are loose. e.g. Attaching the stand to the lower rear Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection. Front speaker units Pipes Bases Large screwsSmall screws STEP1 The supplied stands are specially designed for attachment to Panasonic SB-PF920 front speakers. Only use as indicated in this setup. Lessen excess speaker cable. Thread the speaker cable through here. Cable GrooveHoles for screws Insert the pipe while gently pulling on the speaker cable. Rear side of base Cable Large screws Small screws Front speaker Polyfoam Connection terminals Mounting plate You can also attach to the upper rear of the speaker. The height of the speaker is indicated in the diagram on the right when attaching the stand to the upper rear or lower rear of the speaker.For your reference You can enjoy good acoustics by adjusting the height of the speaker to the height of the television so the center positions of both are approximately the same. 1,138 mm (4413/16z)Speaker Base 968 mm (381/8z)796 mm (3111/32z) 625 mm (2419/32z)678 mm (26 11/16z) Stopper screw Do not remove. You can adjust within this range.

5 RQT7696 Front speaker assembly/Other speaker setup options 4Connect the speaker cables. 5Fasten the speaker cable to the base. ≥Using the same polyfoam as in procedure 2 will assist you in safely and securely fastening the speaker cables. ∫Preventing the speakers from falling over Preparation Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall (‹diagram below) ≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screws to match the walls and pillars to which the screw eyes are going to be fastened. ≥Consult with 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. Other speaker setup options ∫Attaching to a wall 1Drive a screw (not included) into a wall. 2Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s). ≥The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 lb.) per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers. ≥When mounting the front speaker to a wall, we recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling ( ‹ left). ≥Use of optional speaker cables is recommended for wall mounted front speakers. (You can also remove the speaker cables from the pipes supplied with this system). e.g. Front speaker Center speaker ∫Fitting speaker stands (not included) Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them. Note 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. e.g. Surround speaker Rear of the speaker _: Copper `: Silver Push ! If there is any excess speaker cable, thread the speaker cable into the opening near the top of the pipe while pulling the speaker cable from the bottom of the base. 1Twist off the vinyl ends of the speaker cables. 2 Press the speaker cable into the groove. 2 Fit the speaker cable into the base cover groove as far as possible. 1Press the speaker cable and thread between the hooks.

6 RQT7696 Locating 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 speaker pairs are the same with respect to the front and surround speakers. ≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagrams are approximate. ≥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. 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 touch the netted area of the surround speakers. 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 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 only to be used 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.
7 RQT7696 Connecting speakers with the subwoofer ≥Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier. ≥The terminals of the subwoofer have high output power. Carefully connect the speaker wires. [Note] ≥Never short-circuit positive (i) and negative (j) speaker wires. ≥Be sure to connect only positive (copper) wires to positive (i) terminals and negative (silver) wires to negative (j) terminals. Incorrect connection can damage the speakers.

(Actual results depend on the television.)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. ≥After making this connection, select “Darker” from the “Black Level Control” in the “Video” tab (‹ page 20). .
