plug the wall for appropriate screws. A second
person to assist with marking holes and lifting
Panorama 2 is recommended.
Use wall plugs that are appropriate for the type of
wall construction and ensure that wall, plugs and
screws are capable of reliably supporting Panorama
2's weight (10.6kg/23.4lbs). If you have any doubt
over your ability to mount the bracket securely to
the wall you should engage specialist help. Once the
bracket has been secured to the wall, Panorama 2
can be lifted into the bracket where it is secured by
lugs on its rear face engaging with key-hole slots.

2.2 Panorama 2 Input Connections
The Panorama 2 connection sockets are located
on the rear of the unit. Panorama 2 may be turned
upside-down to gain access to the sockets. Ensure
that the surface on which Panorama 2 is placed
when upside-down will not damage its front grille.
Panorama 2 requires connection to mains power,
to one or more HDMI, digital or analogue audio
sources, and to an HDMI equipped television.
Panorama 2 offers six connection sockets.

Note: The Panorama 2 HDMI Out (ARC) socket
is both an input and an output. It sends video
signals from sources connected to other
Panorama 2 HDMI inputs to the television,
while also receiving television based audio for
reproduction. Televisions that don't incorporate
an ARC enabled HDMI socket can still be
used with Panorama 2. See the Panorama 2
Connection Guide available for download from
www.bowers-wilkins.com for more information.
Note: The audio/video routed to the HDMI Out
interface is always the selected HDMI input.
Digital or analogue audio jack input signals
cannot be routed to the HDMI Out.
