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.

∫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
