Step 1: Placement; The Main Unit; The Active Subwoofer - Panasonic SC-BFT800 Operating Instructions Manual

STEP 1: Placement

Caution
≥ The main unit and the active subwoofer are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may
lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified
service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.
≥ Do not attempt to attach the main unit to a wall using methods other than those described in this manual.
How you place the main unit and the active subwoofer can affect the bass and the sound field.

The main unit

Place the main unit near the TV.
The main unit should be placed parallel to the seating position.
e.g.
On the wall
*1 Place the main unit on a flat secure base.
*2 Secure the main unit to prevent it from falling.
*3 Do not place the main unit in front of a 3D compatible TV. The unit may block the transmitter for the 3D eyewear.
*4 Do not place the main unit too close to the TV. The unit may interfere with the TV's various sensors (ambient light, etc.).
≥ You can damage the speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥ Placing the main unit too close to the floor, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
≥ Do not use the active subwoofer or this unit in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.
≥ Remove the wall mount brackets from the main unit when using to place this unit.

The active subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or on a
sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about
30 cm from the TV.
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances
between the active subwoofer and other electronic
devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
e.g.,
Active subwoofer
VQT2Z56
12
*2
Wireless router, etc.:
approx. 2 m
Cordless phone and
other electronic devices:
approx. 2 m
On a table
*1, 2, 3, 4
The active subwoofer will automatically seek a clear channel if
any of these other devices interfere with its communication.
When this happens there is a brief interruption to the audio
coming from the subwoofer.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure
the best possible performance of your home theatre audio
system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to
another location outside the range of the active subwoofer or
move the active subwoofer nearer to this unit.
≥ Place the active subwoofer within approximately 10 m of this unit, and in a
horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.
≥ To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the
active subwoofer, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.
