Be sure to match the number on each sticker with the

Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.  
Don’t use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the speaker before  
connecting the appropriate cable.  
To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables with care not to stumble or hook.  
Do not hold the speaker in one hand to avoid injury by dropping the speaker when carrying.  
[BTT755]  
Preventing the speakers from falling  
Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that  
may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.  
Use a string of less than 2.0 mm, which is capable of supporting over 10 kg.

STEP 2: Positioning  
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.  
If irregular colouring occurs on your TV,  
Setup example  
turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.  
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.  
Place the front, centre, surround speakers at approximately  
the same distance from the seating position.  
The angles in the diagram are approximate.  
[BTT755[for[Australia[and[New[Zealand]  
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper  
ventilation.  
Wireless system  
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances  
between the wireless system and other electronic devices  
that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).  
60°  
Wireless LAN:  
approx. 2 m  
e.g.,  
Cordless phone and  
other electronic devices:

Wireless  
system  
120°  
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if  
any of these other devices interfere with its communication.  
When this happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W] ”) flashes  
on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio  
coming from the surround speakers.  
A
Centre speaker  
Put on a rack or shelf not to interfere with the TV’s various  
sensors (ambient light, etc.). Vibration caused by the speaker  
can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.  
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure  
the best possible performance of your home theatre system.  
B

D
Front speakers  
Subwoofer  
Surround speakers  
Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear  
level.  
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to  
another location outside the range of the wireless system or  
move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.  
E
[BTT755[for[Australia[and[New[Zealand]  
Wireless system  
Upgrade your system to 7.1-channel system  
Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m  
from the main unit, and in a horizontal position with the  
top panel faced upward.  
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good  
airflow around the wireless system, position it with at  
least 5 cm of space on all sides.  
Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter  
in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.  
The main unit is designed to enjoy the 7.1ch surround sound. By  
connecting 2 units of the Panasonic wireless system SH-FX71  
with 4 speakers, more theatre-like effect can be available.  
Necessary equipment:  
[BTT755[for[Australia[and[New[Zealand]  
1 optional wireless system (SH-FX71)  
2 additional speakers  
[Impedance: 3 to 6 , Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)]

accessory (SH-FX71).  
For more details, refer to the operating  
instructions for the optional wireless  
system.  
[Impedance: 3 to 6 , Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)]  
For more details, refer to the operating instructions for the  
optional wireless system.  
Use only supplied speakers  
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be  
negatively affected.  
You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play  
sound at high levels over extended periods.  
Positioning speakers in front  
It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position.  
However, the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.  
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.  
For optional wall mount, refer to page 44.

Glossary  
AVCHD  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high-definition video  
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution  
HD images.  
This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous  
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with  
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to  
7.1 channel output.  
BD-J  
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these  
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive  
features in addition to playing normal video.  
DTS-HD Master Audio | Essential  
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/  
7.1 ch and 192 kHz/2 ch or less. In addition, faithful  
reproduction of the master audio is enabled using lossless  
audio encoding technology. BD-Video supports up to  
7.1 channel output.  
Bitstream  
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1  
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.  
Dynamic range  
Deep Colour  
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.  
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between  
the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at  
low volumes but still hear dialogue clearly.  
This unit incorporates HDMI technology that can reproduce  
greater colour gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a  
compatible TV.  
You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colours, with  
smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour banding.  
[A lower colour gradation (256 steps), without Deep Colour, will  
be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support  
Deep Colour.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.  
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed  
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.  
The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the  
connected TV.]  
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)  
DLNA is a standard that makes DLNA Certified digital  
electronics easier and more convenient to use on a home  
network.  
Local storage  
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for  
playing BD-Live on BD-Video.  
LPCM (Linear PCM)  
These are a kind of PCM format.  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found  
on CDs.  
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.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
This is one format for converting analogue audio into digital  
audio, enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible  
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel  
output.  
P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)  
This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive  
Panasonic algorithm. Various processing is supported,  
including a high-level conversion of the TV scanning format  
from interlace to progressive and a high-level conversion of  
standard resolution (480i or 576i) video signal to a 1080  
High-Definition video signal.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to play stereo sources on 5.1  
channel.  
Dolby TrueHD  
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal  
resolution to the connected TV.  
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that  
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to  
7.1 channel output.  
x.v.ColourTM  
x.v.ColourTM is a name for devices that are compatible with the  
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded colour  
in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal  
transmission.  
Down-mixing  
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found  
on some discs into fewer channels.  
You can enjoy vivid colours of wider colour ranges for a more  
realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the  
x.v.ColourTM with HDMI cable.
