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.

Using “Auto Speaker Setup” (> 19) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them.

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32z) away from the system for proper ventilation.

E[BT730] Wireless system

Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m (33 ft.) from the main unit, and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.

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 40.

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.

Wireless system

To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

Wireless

Wireless LAN:

system

approx. 2 m (61/2 ft.)

Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m (61/2 ft.)

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.

Upgrade your system to 7.1-channel system

The main unit is designed to enjoy the 7.1ch surround sound. By connecting 2 units of the Panasonic wireless system SH-FX71 with 4 speakers, more theater-like effect can be available.
