•You can also put this speaker directly under the television.
•Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.
Surround speakers
The small speakers with the long cords are surround speakers. Place on either side of listening position, or slightly to the rear, about 1 meter higher than ear level with the Panasonic logo facing towards the listening position.
The effect varies with the type of music and music source.
Subwoofer VK90D VK80D
Place to the right and left ( VK90D ) or right ( VK80D ) of the
television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
•Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
•Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

•Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.
Positioning for best effect
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 a thick curtain.
•Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventillation.
Notes on speaker use
•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 emit strange noise (howling) from a microphone or record player, 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.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and
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.
