Panasonic SC-PT875 Getting Started Step Positioning, Setup example, ≥Use only supplied speakers

Getting Started

step 2 Positioning

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” (B 11) 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.

Quick Start Guide

Subwoofer

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.

Front speakers

60°		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.
	Main unit	Digital transmitter§

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.

Wireless system§

≥Place the wireless system within approximately 15 m from the main unit, and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.

≥To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the wireless system, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Surround speakers

§Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

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

Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m

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 (“ [W1] ”) 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.

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, a microphone, 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.

Caution

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides. e.g. Center speaker

DO DO

NOT

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.

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.
