Placement

Set the system 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.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion
and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.		use
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit		Before
Voltage
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.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not dam-
aged. 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.
Foreign matter
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 flam-
mable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
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 center. Electric
shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disas-
sembled 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.

		A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
	Before
		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 mor the BSI mark oon
		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.
		CAUTION!
		IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUIT-
		ABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR
		HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE RE-
		MOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DIS-
		POSED OF SAFELY.
		THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRI-
		CAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS IN-
		SERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
		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 accor-
		dance with the following code:
		Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
		As these colours may not correspond with the col-
		oured 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 col-
		oured Black or Blue.
		The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected
		to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or col-
		oured Brown or Red.

Note
³Do not put the CD changer or CD player on the tuner amplifier. Heat
from the tuner amplifier can damage your CDs.
³Left and right front speakers are exactly the same.				use
Use only the supplied speakers.				Before
The combination of the system and the speakers provides the best
sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality
will be negatively affected.
Caution
³Use the speakers only with the recommended system.
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.
³Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using
methods other than those described in this manual.

» Placement of center/surround

C

speakers SC-EH760

Center speaker

Place the center speaker (a) directly above the television.

Surround speakers

Place the surround speakers (b, c) either side of the listening position, or slightly to the rear, about 1 meter higher than ear level.

Place the speakers with the Technics logo facing toward the listening position.

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.

Note

If you are unable to position the surround speakers as recommended, you can put them near the front speakers and still achieve a sur- round-like effect ( page 27, “VIRTUAL REAR SURROUND”).

[D] Attaching to a wall

Set speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into position.

Note

The wall or pillar on which the speaker systems are to be attached should be capable of supporting 5 kg.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

Turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

³To prepare the AM loop antenna and speaker cables (and FM antenna for Australia and N.Z.), twist the vinyl tip and pull off ([A]).

1 Flat cables.

Keep the cables as flat as possible against the back of the unit.

Note

Connect the black connectors to the black terminals and the blue connector to the blue terminal. Incorrect connection of the flat cables can damage the unit.

2 FM antenna.

Fix the other end of the antenna where reception is best.

3 AM loop antenna.

1Attach the antenna holder to the rear panel of the CD changer or CD player.

Then clamp the antenna into the antenna holder.

2Connect the antenna terminal to the rear panel of the tuner amplifier.

Keep loose antenna cord away from other wires and cords.

4 Front (L/R) speaker cables.

Connect the cables to the terminals of the same color.

Note

³To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit positive (i) and negative (j) speaker wires.

³Be sure to connect only positive (red, blue or gray) wires to positive (i) terminals and negative (black) wires to negative

(j) terminals.
