•
You can also put this speaker directly under the television.
•
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.
Surround speakers
The small speakers with the long cords are surround speakers.
Place on either side of listening position, or slightly to the rear, about
1 meter higher than ear level with the Panasonic logo facing towards
the listening position.
The effect varies with the type of music and music source.
Subwoofer(s)
VK91D
VK81D
Place to the right and left (
VK91D
) or right (
VK81D
) of the television,
on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
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.
Note
•
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
•
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.
•
You cannot take the front net off the speakers.
Attaching to a wall
Surround and center speakers can be attached to walls.
Set the speaker onto screws (not included) and slide through
bracket to lock into position.
Note
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached
should be capable of supporting 10 kg per screw.
Caution
•
Use the speakers only with the recommended system.
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.
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 emit strange noise (howling) from a
microphone or 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
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but
the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up
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.

Positioning for best effect
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 a thick
curtain.
