Simple setup
Locating
≥The front and surround speakers are the same. Use those you
have connected the short cords to as front speakers and those
you have connected the long cords to as surround speakers. Locating
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram 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.
Positioning for best effect
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 curtain.
Main unit
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.
Center speaker
≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television.
≥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.
Subwoofer
Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave
10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
Caution
Hold the speakers by the sides.
Applying pressure to the front net
can damage the speaker.

Simple setup
∫ Connecting a television with a VIDEO IN terminal
Connect directly to your television.
Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder, because
the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.
∫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 (PB/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/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
Connect to terminals of the same color.
[For\the\United\Kingdom\and\Russia]
≥When making this connection, set “Video Out (AV/Component)”
to “Video/Y PB PR” or “S-Video/Y PB PR” from QUICK SETUP
(➡page 12).
∫ 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.)
[For\the\United\Kingdom\and\Russia]
∫Connecting a television with SCART terminal
SCART (AV) terminal
To improve picture quality, you can change the video signal output
from the SCART (AV) terminal from “Video” to either “S-Video” or
“RGB” to suit the type of television you are using. Set “Video Out
(AV/Component)” to “S-Video/Y PB PR” or “RGB/No Output” from
QUICK SETUP (➡page 12).
To enjoy progressive video
≥Connect to the component video (480P) input terminals on a
television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system.
(Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an
incompatible television.)
≥When playing NTSC discs, change video output mode to
“480P” (➡page 26).
≥Press [PROGRESSIVE] on the main unit so “PROG.” appears
on the display (➡page 14).
≥All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P
input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if
you have another brand of television.
