∫Attaching to a wall
[Note]
≥The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 Ib.) per screw. 
Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and 
speakers.
≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.
1Drive a screw (not included) into a wall.
2Fit the speaker securely onto the screws with the holes.
∫Fitting speaker stands (not included)
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.
Observe 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.

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 front left, right and surround speakers are all the same. 
≥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 the speakers 
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.
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.

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

∫Attaching the stickers to the speakers
Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.
[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.

Connection ➜page 49
Subscribe to a cable or satellite company.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 further away from the 
television.

Connect video cables directly to your television
The video signals on DVDs and videotapes have copyright 
protection. The video may not be shown correctly if you connect 
through an A/V selector or other equipment. 75 ≠ coaxial cable
This cable carries broadcast signals to the television whether the 
unit is on or off so you do not need to connect the antenna directly 
to the television.
It does not carry other signals from this unit, so make sure you 
connect the television to VIDEO OUT. Contact your dealer if your 
television does not have the corresponding terminal.

∫Connecting a 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/CB, PR/CR) 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, change the black level for a better 
picture (➜page 30, Video — Black Level Control).
To enjoy progressive video
≥Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P 
compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if 
connected to an incompatible television.)
≥All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P 
input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you 
have another brand of television.
∫Connecting a television with an S-VIDEO IN terminal
S-VIDEO OUT terminal
The S-video 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.)
[Note]
Connect to a different terminal group than that you used for the 
video cable (e.g., “VIDEO 2”).
Picture from this unit’s VHS will not appear when you use the same 
group input terminal connections because the S-video terminal 
input takes precedence.
For better video from DVD
The following connections are for video from the DVD section only. Make sure you have connected the VIDEO OUT terminal with the 
television to view video from the VHS section (➜page 14).
You may need to change the video-input mode on the television to view video from the VHS and DVD sections. Read your television’s  
operating instructions for details.
