Safety Precautions

Note:

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.

Do not put the system in a metal cabinet.

Keep magnetised items away. Magnetised cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if put too near to the system.

Place the active subwoofer within a few meters from the main unit and in a horizontal position with the top panel facing upward.

Depending on the position of the active subwoofer, the effect may vary.
Placing the active subwoofer too close to the walls and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with 
thick curtains.
You may change the position of the active subwoofer, or adjust the subwoofer level (

~

16) to achieve optimum effect.

Wireless interference

Interference may occur if you are using other devices (wireless LAN/microwave ovens/cordless phones, 
etc.) that use the 2.4 GHz frequency band, causing some communication problems (sound is interrupted, 
sound skips, there is a lot of noise, etc.).
If this happens, separate the other electronic equipment from the main unit and active subwoofer so that 
interference does not occur.

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.

When carrying the active subwoofer

 

Do not hold the active subwoofer from this opening.

The parts inside may get damaged.

Always hold the bottom of the active subwoofer when moving it.
