Attaching to a wall  
1 Drive a screw (not included) into a wall.

speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and  
speakers.  
[HT870]  
When mounting the front and surround speaker to a wall, we recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling (page 5).  
Use of optional speaker cables are recommended for wall-mounted front and surround speakers. (You can also remove the speaker cables  
from the pipes supplied with this system.)

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.  
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the  
seating position. The angles in the diagrams are approximate.

Setup example  
Main unit  
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.  
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.  
Main unit  
[Note]  
When turning the unit on or off.  
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for  
proper ventilation.  
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.  
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.  
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 at the rear for  
ventilation.  
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.  
Caution  
Hold the speakers by the sides. Applying pressure to the front net  
can damage the speaker.  
e.g. [HT520]  
Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using  
methods other than those described in this manual.

\Note]  
Never short-circuit positive (i) and negative (j) speaker wires.  
Be sure to connect only positive (copper) wires to positive (i) terminals and negative (silver) wires to negative (j) terminals.  
Incorrect connection can damage the speakers.

To enjoy progressive video  
The S-VIDEO OUT 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.)  
Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P  
compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if  
connected to an incompatible television.)  
When playing NTSC discs, change video output mode to  
“480P” (page 23) or press [PROGRESSIVE] on the main  
unit so “PROG.appears on the display.  
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals  
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 (PB/PR) 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/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).  
Connect to terminals of the same color.  
All Panasonic televisions that have 480P input connectors are  
compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another  
brand of television.  
[Note]  
Output from this unit is interlace if you have connected to the  
television through the VIDEO OUT, S-VIDEO OUT or SCART  
(AV) terminal or when playing PAL discs, even if “PROG.is on

When making this connection, select “Video/Y PB PR” or  
“S-Video/Y PB PR” from QUICK SETUP (page 14).

To improve picture quality, you can change the video signal output

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).  
[WMA]  
You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.  
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.  
[MP3]  
This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.  
Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1  
and 48 kHz  
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  
e.g. [MP3]  
[JPEG]  
root  
To view JPEG files on this unit:  
001 group  
Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF Standard  
(Design rule for Camera File system) Version 1.0. Some digital  
cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF  
Standard Version 1.0 like automatic picture rotation which may  
render a picture un-viewable.  
may not work at times).  
001 track.mp3  
Files must have the extension:  
“.WMA” or “.wma”  
“.MP3” or “.mp3”  
002 track.mp3  
003 track.mp3  
002 group  
“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”  
Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different  
name.  
This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other  
such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play  
associated sound.

Glossary  
Decoder  
I/P/B  
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This  
is called decoding.  
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.  
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.  
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on  
CDs.  
Dynamic range  
Playback control (PBC)  
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and  
information with menus.  
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.  
Sampling frequency  
Frame still and field still  
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.  
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.
