Environment

1. Outdoor Antenna Gmundfog--lf an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and buiti-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requiroments for the grounding electrode. See figure below.
(See page 37 for details.) Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scoudng powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

As well as enjoying normal stereo reproduction with the left and right front speakers, surround speakers can also be connected to the system in order to enjoy a feeling of depth and movement of sound. Place the speakers with the Panasonic logo facing toward the listening position. We recommend that surround speakers be placed on the side of, or slightly behind, the listener at ear level. However, the position should be adjusted to your personal preference, because the effect varies to some degree depending upon the type of music and the music source.
