※3 Secure the unit to prevent it from falling. (⇒ 10)
※4 Do not place this unit in front of a 3D compatible TV. This unit may block the transmitter for the 3D eyewear.
※5 Do not place this unit too close to the TV. This unit may interfere with the TV's various sensors (ambient light, etc.).

• You can damage the speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.
• Placing this unit too close to the floor, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
• Do not use the active subwoofer or this unit in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

If the TV's remote control sensor is blocked by this unit.

• Do not use the IR Blaster if the TV's remote control sensor is not blocked by this unit.
  If irregular colouring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

If it persists, move this unit further away from the TV.

The Active subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or on a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.

A Active subwoofer
B Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m
C Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m

The active subwoofer will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication.

When this happens there is a brief interruption to the audio coming from the subwoofer.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater audio system.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the active subwoofer or move the active subwoofer nearer to this unit.

• Place the active subwoofer within approximately 10 m of this unit, and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.
• To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the active subwoofer, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

PANASONIC DISCLAIMS ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING

DEATH RESULTING FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR INCORRECT HANDLING.

Requests regarding handling:

① Exercise care when selecting the location for the unit because it may discolour or deform due to light or heat if it is placed where it is exposed to direct sunlight, or near a heater.
② Clean the wall mount brackets by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth (such as cotton or flannel). If the wall mount brackets are very dirty, remove the dirt using a neutral detergent diluted in water, and then wipe them clean with a dry cloth.
Do not use benzine, thinner, or furniture wax as this may cause the coating to peel.
(For information on cleaning the unit, see the unit's instruction manual ( 5). If using a chemically treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)
