Safety precautions
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high 
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These 
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby 
shortening the unit’s service life. Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and 
cause a fire. Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully 
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. 
Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. 
Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC 
mains lead can cause electric shock. Do not handle the plug with 
wet hands. This can cause electric shock.Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric 
shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or 
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the 
power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain 
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, 
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is 
not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains 
lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service centre. 
Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, 
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power 
source if it is not to be used for a long time.
≥These operating instructions are applicable to models 
SC-BT200 and SC-BT205. Unless otherwise indicated, 
illustrations in these operating instructions are for SC-BT205.
≥Please note that the actual controls and components, 
menu items, etc. of your Blu-ray Disc Home Theater 
Sound System may look somewhat different from those 
shown in the illustrations in these Operating 
Instructions.
≥Operations in these instructions are described mainly with 
the remote control, but you can perform the operations on the 
main unit if the controls are the same.

Caution for AC Mains Lead
For your safety, please read the following text carefully.
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your 
safety and convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the 
replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by 
ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark 
Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the 
fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is 
refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a 
replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as 
stated below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the 
following code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings 
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal 
which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal 
which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH 
TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE 
EARTH SYMBOL 
Ó OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/
YELLOW.
THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.
Before use
Remove the connector cover.

Preparation
≥To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and 
perform assembly on it.≥For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included).
≥For wall mount, refer to page 43.
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that 
may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.
e.g.
Caution

Positioning
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Setup example
Place the front, centre, surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “SMART SETUP” (>14) is a convenient 
way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the diagram are approximate.
If irregular colouring occurs on your TVThe centre speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the 
picture may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. 
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.e.g. Centre speaker
≥This system is a 5.1ch sound system.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 43.
≥Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.NOTE
45º to 60º
120º
Main unit
Surround speakers Centre speaker
Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration 
caused by the speaker can 
disrupt the picture if it is placed 
directly on the TV.
To allow for proper ventilation 
and to maintain good airflow 
around the main unit, position 
it with at least 5 cm of 
space on all sides.Subwoofer
Place to the right or 
left of the TV, on the 
floor or a sturdy shelf 
so that it will not 
cause vibration. 
Leave about 30 cm 
from the TV. Front speakers
Position the speakers as illustrated and place them 
at the same height or higher than ear level.

when you use the optional Panasonic wireless 
accessory (SH-FX70). (
>42)For details, please refer to the operating instructions 
for the optional Panasonic wireless accessory.
≥Use only supplied speakersUsing other speakers can damage the unit, and 
sound quality will be negatively affected.
≥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 are reverberating due to 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.
≥Positioning speakers in frontIt is possible to locate all the speakers in front of 
the listening position. However the optimal 
surround sound effect may not be obtainable.
NOTE
TIPS
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers 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 these speakers to walls using 
methods other than those described in this manual.
