• To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speaker cones if you have taken the nets off. 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 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. 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. AM ANT FM ANT OPTICAL OUT S-VIDEO HAUT-PARLEURS OUT VIDEO OUT AC IN SUBWOOFER OUTR L AUX HIGH(6.) SPEAKERS (SB-PM39) LOW(6.)

Video cables (not included) 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. • After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture (A page 29, “Video” tab - Black Level Control). To enjoy progressive video 1. Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.) 2. In QUICK SETUP, set “Progressive Out” to “Enable”. 3. Change “Progressive” to “480P” (A page 20, Picture Menu— Video Output Mode). • All televisions manufactured by Panasonic and that have 480P input connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have another brand of television. • If the unit is connected to the television through VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO OUT, output will be interlace, irrespective of the settings.
