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.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper
ventilation.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the
same distance from the seating position. Using “Auto speaker setup”
(
➜
29) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your
speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the diagram
are approximate.
Notes on speaker use
≥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.
≥ 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.
If irregular colouring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
≥ Remove the digital transmitter cover before installing any optional
Panasonic wireless accessory.
≥ Replace the cover when the digital transmitter is not in use.

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain
good airflow around the main unit, position it with
at least 5 cm of space on all sides.
Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the
speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed
directly on the TV.
Place to the right or left of the
TV, on the floor or a sturdy
shelf so that it will not cause
vibration. Leave about 30 cm
from the TV.
