Connecting the speaker cables. Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.

e.g. Surround speaker

STEP 2: Positioning

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.

≥ Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.

Setup example

Place the front, center and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.

≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm proper ventilation.

≥ For wall mount, refer to page 32.

≥ Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.

≥ Don’t use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the speaker before connecting the appropriate cable.

≥ To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables with care not to stumble or hook.

A Center speaker

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.

B Front speakers

C Subwoofer

D Surround speakers

≥ Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear level.

≥ 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.

≥ Positioning speakers in front

It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position.

However the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.

≥ 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.

≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 32.

∫ If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

Glossary

AVCHD

AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution

HD images.

DTS-HD Master Audio

This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/

7.1 ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology.

BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

BD-J

Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive features in addition to playing normal video.

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.

Deep Color

Deep Color is a name for a device that can reproduce greater color gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a TV that supports the Deep Color with HDMI cable. You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colors, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal color banding. [A lower color gradation

(256 steps), without Deep Color, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support Deep Color. The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the connected TV.]

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.

Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

These are a kind of PCM format.

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby

Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio, enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.

Dolby Digital Plus

Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to play stereo sources on

5.1 channel.

P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)

This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive

Panasonic algorithm. Various processing is supported, including a high-level conversion of the TV scanning format from interlace to progressive and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i) video signal to a 1080 High

Definition video signal.

Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution to the connected TV.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.

Down-mixing

This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some discs into fewer channels.

x.v.Color

TM x.v.Color

TM is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded color in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.

You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the x.v.Color

TM with HDMI cable.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

24p

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per second (motion-picture film). Many BD-Video movie contents are recorded in 24 frames/second in accordance with the film materials.

DTS-HD

DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie theatrers. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio.

BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous

DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.
