Be sure to match the number on each sticker with the connector color.
Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers. Dont 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.

If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV. [BT730]

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). Wireless system Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m (61/2 ft.) Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m (61/2 ft.) 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. This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system. 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.
A Center speaker Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV. B Front speakers C Subwoofer D Surround speakers Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear level. E [BT730] Wireless system Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m (33 ft.) 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 (2z) of space on all sides. Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf. [BT330] [BT230] You can enjoy surround speaker sound wirelessly when you use the optional Panasonic wireless accessory (SH-FX71). For more details, refer to the operating instructions for the optional wireless system.
Upgrade your system to 7.1-channel system
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 theater-like effect can be available. Necessary equipment: [BT730] 1 optional wireless system (SH-FX71) 2 additional speakers [Impedance: 3 to 6 , Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)] [BT330] [BT230] 2 optional wireless systems (SH-FX71) 2 additional speakers [Impedance: 3 to 6 , Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)] For more details, refer to the operating instructions for the optional wireless system.
