IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety instructions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Tape information

■Tapes

• You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.
• Break out the tape's tab to prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of adhesive tape when you want to use the tape for recording again.

■S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

You can play tapes recorded with the S-VHS system, however some noise may occur with some types and this unit cannot take advantage of S-VHS's high resolution.

This unit cannot make S-VHS recordings.

■Tape care

Poor quality or damaged tapes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction. Store your tapes carefully and discard when they become dirty or damaged.

Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

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.

Simple setup

STEP 1 Locating

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 front left, right and surround speakers are all the same.

① Front (L) ② Front (R) ③ (L) ④ Surround (R) ⑤ Center SubwooferSurround ⑥

Setup example

Example ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ 60° 120° Main unit center, and surround speakers at the same distance from the seating position. The diagram are approximate. → See page speaker set

→ See page 47 for other speaker setup options.

- 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 10 mm ( ^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 the speakers directly on top of the television.

Subwoofer

Place to the right 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.

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 receiving howling from 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.

Caution

• The main unit and supplied speakers are only to be used 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.

STEP2 Connecting speakers with the subwoofer

Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.

Speaker cables

• 3×4-m (13-foot) cables (For Front and Center speakers)
• 2×10-m (33-foot) cables (For Surround speakers)

Note

• Never short-circuit positive (+) and negative (−) speaker wires.
• Be sure to connect only positive (copper) wires to positive (+) terminals and negative (silver) wires to negative (−) terminals. Incorrect connection can damage the speakers.

Caution

Hold the speakers by the sides. Applying pressure to the front net can damage the speaker.

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 further away from the television.

For better video from DVD

The following connections are for video from the DVD section only. Make sure you have connected the VIDEO OUT terminal with the television to view video from the VHS section ( page 12).

You may need to change the video-input mode on the television to view video from the VHS and DVD sections. Read your television's operating instructions for details.

■Connecting a television with COMPONENT VIDEO terminals

    B --> C["S VIDEO IN"]
    D["Television (not included)"] --> E["TV setup"]

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals ( P_B/P_R ) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

• The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y / P_B / P_R , Y / B - Y / R - Y , Y / C_B / C_R ). Connect to terminals of the same color.
• After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture (→ page 28, Video—Black Level Control).

To enjoy progressive video

• Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)
• All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television.

S-VIDEO OUT terminal

The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

Note

Connect to a different terminal group than that you used for the video cable (e.g., "VIDEO 2"). Picture from this unit's VHS will not appear when you use the same group input terminal connections because the S-video terminal input takes precedence.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)

• Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).
• This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times).

Files must have the extension:

".WMA" or ".wma"
".MP3" or ".mp3"
".JPG", ".jpg", ".JPEG" or ".jpeg"

e.g. MP3
root
