Caution for AC Mains Lead
(For the AC mains plug of three pins)
For your safety, please read the following text
carefully.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three
pin mains plug for your safety and convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please
ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-
ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to
BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on
the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you
must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is
replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be
used until a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from
your local dealer.
Before use
Remove the connector cover.
How to replace the fuse
The location of the fuse differ according to the type
of AC mains plug (figures A and B). Confirm the
AC mains plug fitted and follow the instructions
below.
Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.

Getting started
Step 1 Connections
≥Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.
Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are completed.
∫ HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
≥ The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” (> 25) when used with a compatible Panasonic TV.
≥ Use the ARC compatible High Speed HDMI Cables. Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilised.
≥ It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable.
∫ IR (Infrared) Blaster
≥ Do not use the IR Blaster if the TV’s remote control sensor is not blocked by the main unit. (> 14)
Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is labelled “HDMI (ARC)”.
∫ What is ARC?
ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When you
connect the main unit to the terminal labelled “HDMI (ARC)” on the TV, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in
order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.
Make the connection.

Step 2 Placement
≥ Do not hold the main unit in one hand to avoid injury, you may drop the main unit when carrying it.
≥ To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform the assembly on it.
When carrying the active subwoofer
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the main unit/active subwoofer
and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
Safety Precautions
Professional installation is required.
The installation should never be done by any other than a qualified installation specialist.
PANASONIC DISCLAIMS ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING
DEATH RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR INCORRECT HANDLING.
≥ Be sure to install the main unit as indicated within this operating Instructions.
≥ Attach using techniques suited to the structure and materials of the installation location.
Caution
≥ This system is to be used only as indicated in these instructions. Failure to do so may lead to
damage to the amplifier and/or the speaker, 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 the main unit to a wall using methods other than those described in this
manual.

Choose a placement method that suits you best.
∫ When placing the main unit in front of the TV
The main unit may block or interfere with the TV’s various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic
Tracking System) sensor, remote control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D
compatible TV.
≥If interference occurs, move the main unit further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function
correctly, try using it in a rack or in the wall mount position.
∫ If the TV’s remote control sensor is blocked by the main unit
Try using the TV’s remote control from a different angle. If the problem persists, you can use the supplied
IR Blaster to relay the signal to the TV. (> 11, 1 2)
≥ Place the active subwoofer within a few meters of the main unit and in a horizontal position with the top panel facing upward.
≥ Do not use the main unit or the active subwoofer in a metal cabinet.
≥ Placing the active subwoofer too close to the walls and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with
thick curtains.
≥ If irregular colouring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the main unit and active
subwoofer further away from the TV.
≥ Keep magnetised items away. Magnetised cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the main unit and active
subwoofer.
Selecting the placement method
When placing the main unit
in a rack or on a table
≥ Place the main unit on a flat
and horizontal surface.
When attaching the main
unit to a wall
≥ Place the main unit on a
flat and vertical surface.
