Simple setup

STEP1 Front speaker assembly

The supplied stands are specially designed for attachment to Panasonic SB-FS730 or SB-FS930 front speakers. Use only as indicated in this setup.

Preparation

• To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it.
• For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.
• Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.
• There is no difference between the right and left speakers and pipes.

HT730

2 Front speakers	4 Pipes ●2×pipe A (with cable)	●2×pipe B	2 Bases	4 Washer screws	4 Bracket screws	4 Small screws	2 Brackets	Sheet of rubber pads

You can use the front speakers without assembling with the stands. In this case, attach the included rubber pads to the base of the speakers. This prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move or fall over. Use 3 or 4 pads per speaker.

1 Attach the pipes to the bases.

Insert pipe B.

Match these holes when you insert the pipe.

2 Secure pipe B to the base.

Ensure the screws are securely fastened.

2 Assemble the pipes.

1 Thread the speaker cable from pipe A through pipe B and the base.

For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not crease), pass the folded portion through the pipe, and then pull the rest of the cable through the base.

Join pipe A to pipe B.

3 Secure the pipes.

Ensure the screws are securely fastened.

3 Attach the pipes to the speakers.

Slot the screw head in between the 2 stoppers of the speaker groove.

Ensure the pipe is fastened on straight by gradually tightening the right and left screws alternately until fully tightened.

To prevent a short-circuit, do not cover the connection terminals with the pipe.

4 Connect the speaker cables.

5 Secure the speaker cables to the bases.

Note To prevent the speaker cables from being pulled out of the pipes, leave the plastic wrap on the pipes while assembling the speaker stands.

2 Front speakers	2 Pipes	2 Bases	4 Long screws	4 Short screws

1 Assemble the speaker stands.

1 Thread the speaker cable through the base.

For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not crease), pass the folded portion through the hole, and then pull the rest of the cable through the base.

2 Insert the pipe.

Insert the pipe while gently pulling on the speaker cable.

3 Secure the pipe to the base.

Ensure the screws are securely fastened.

Before proceeding to the next step, please remove the plastic wrap from the pipe.

2 Attach the stands to the speakers.

Ensure the stand is fastened on straight by gradually tightening the top and bottom screws alternately until fully tightened.

You can also attach to the lower rear of the speaker. The height of the speaker can be changed when attaching the stand to the upper rear or lower rear of the speaker.

3 Connect the speaker cables.

If there is any excess speaker cable, thread the speaker cable into the opening near the top of the pipe while pulling the speaker cable from the bottom of the base.

4 Secure the speaker cables to the bases.

Press the speaker cable into the base cover groove as far as possible.

Preventing the speakers from falling over HT730 HT930

Preparation

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall ( diagram right).

• You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
• Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

Thread the string (not included) through the slot on the rear of the speaker to prevent it from falling over.
Loop the string through the screw eye and tie tightly.

STEP2 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.
• The left and right speakers are the same with respect to the front and surround speaker pairs.

Setup example

HT730

• Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately

the same distance from the seating position.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.

• Other speaker setup options

( page 29).

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.

Main unit

Note

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

Center speaker

• 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.
• To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of the television.

Active subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won't cause vibration. Leave 10 cm (4") at the rear for ventilation.

Caution

Do not stand on the base

and shake the speaker.

Be cautious when children

are near.

e.g. HT730

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 are reverberating due to a 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

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup 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 farther away from the television.

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.

Connecting speakers with the subwoofer

• Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.
• The terminals of the subwoofer have high output power. Carefully connect the speaker wires.

3 Speaker cables

• 1×short cable: For center speaker
• 2 × long cables: For surround speakers

Attaching to a wall

You can attach all of the speakers to a wall.

1 Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.
Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).

• The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10kg (22 lbs) per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers.
• When mounting the front speakers to a wall, we recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling ( page 5).
• Use of optional speaker cables is recommended for wall-mounted front speakers. (You can also remove the speaker cables from the pipes supplied with this system).

e.g.

(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or
(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

1. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
2. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
3. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.

The servicer will require all components to service your system. Therefore, should service ever be necessary, be sure to bring the entire system.

Product information

For product information or assistance with product operation:

In the U.S.A., refer to "Customer Services Directory" on page 35. In Canada, contact the Panasonic Canada Inc. Customer Care Centre at 1-800-561-5505, or visit the website (www.panasonic.ca), or an authorized Servicentre closest to you.

In other areas, consult your dealer.

Maintenance

Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
• Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that came with the cloth.

Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause malfunction. (Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although this depends on the operating environment.)

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc trays are empty. Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the discs and the unit.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVD's to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames.

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.

A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
