Placement of speakers

A Placement of front speakers

SC-AK77

Place the speakers so that the super woofer is on the outside.

SC-AK66 SC-AK62

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary.

Note

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

•To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones if you have taken the nets off.

B Placement of center/surround speakers

Center speaker

Place the center speaker above your TV, as close to it as possible.

Note

Do not place the center speaker on this unit as sound quality will be affected.

Surround speakers

As well as enjoying normal stereo reproduction with the left and right front speakers, surround speakers can also be connected to the system in order to enjoy a feeling of depth and movement of sound.

Place the speakers with the Panasonic logo facing toward the lis- tening position.

We recommend that surround speakers be placed on the side of, or slightly behind, the listener at ear level.

However, the position should be adjusted to your personal prefer- ence, because the effect varies to some degree depending upon the type of music and the music source.

CAttaching to a wall

Set speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into posi- tion.

Note

The wall or pillar on which the speaker systems are to be attached should be capable of supporting a weight of 5 kg.

Caution

•Use the speakers only with the recom- mended system.

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.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up 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.

Note

Surround speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism.
