power failure occurs, but this battery will no longer provide that
back-up if it becomes weak. If battery replacement is necessary,
consult with the store where the unit was purchased, or any store
where Technics or Panasonic products are sold, or an authorized
Service Center. This battery must only be replaced by suitable
qualified service personnel.

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 ASIA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASIA mark or the BSI mark ^ 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.
CAUTION!
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UN
SUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN
YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE
REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND
DISPOSED OF SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELEC
TRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS
INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO
THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH
THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL ^ OR
COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.
THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.
Before use
Remove the connector cover as follows.
How to replace the fuse
1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.
If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring
code as shown 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 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.
3. Close the fuse cover.
Page 5
n Use a standard AC wall outlet
1. Use from an AC power source of high voltage, such as that
used for an air conditioner, is very dangerous.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.
2. A DC power source cannot be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially on a ship
or other place where DC is used,
9
Grasp the plug when disconnecting the power
supply cord
1, Wet hands are dangerous.
A dangerous electric shock may result if the plug Is touched by
wet hands.
2. Never place heavy items on top of the power supply cord,
nor force It to bend sharply. .
9
Place the unit where it will be well ventilated
Place this unit at least 10 cm (4") away from wall surfaces, etc.
9
Avoid places such as the following:
In direct sunlight or In other places where the temperature is
high.
In places where there Is excessive vibration or humidity.
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component
parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
9
Be sure to place the unit on a flat, level surface
If the surface is inclined, a malfunction may result.
9
Never attempt to repair nor reconstruct this unit
A serious electric shock might occur if this unit is repaired, dis
assembled or reconstructed by unauthorized persons, or if the
internal parts are accidentally touched.
9
Take particular care if children are present
Never permit children to put anything, especially metal, inside this
unit. A serious electric shock or malfunction could occur if articles
such as coins, needles, screwdrivers, etc. are inserted through the
ventilation holes, etc. of this unit.
9
If water is spilled on the unit
Be extremely careful if water is spilled on the unit, because a fire or
serious electric shock might occur. Immediately disconnect the
power cord plug, and consult with your dealer.
9
Avoid spray-type insecticides
Insecticides might cause cracks or "cloudiness" in the cabinet and
plastic parts of this unit. The gas used in such sprays might, more
over, be ignited suddenly,
9
Never use alcohol or paint thinner
These and similar chemicals should never be used, because they
might cause flaking or cloudiness of the cabinet finish.
9
Disconnect the power supply cord if the unit will not be used for a long time
If the unit is left for a long time with the power ON, this not only will
shorten its useful operation life, but also may cause other trouble,
9
If trouble occurs
If, during operation, the sound is interrupted or indicators no longer
illuminate, or if an abnormal odour or smoke is detected, immediately
disconnect the power cord plug, and contact with your dealer or an
Authorized Service Center.

Remote control signal sensor
To prevent damage to the lithium battery and electroiyte leakage:
• Install the battery with the ‘‘©” and "©” polarities aligned properly.
•Remove the lithium battery if you do not intend to use the remote
control unit for a long time.
• Do not throw a lithium battery into a fire, subject it to short-circuit
ing, disassemble it or apply heat to it.
The average life of a lithium battery is about one year.
It is time to replace the battery when the remote control unit will not
function even when It is operated close to the system.
How to use the remote control unit properiy:
•Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor
and remote control unit.
• Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight or
to the bright light of an invertor fluorescent light.
•Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and end of the
remote control unit free from dust.
To prevent malfunctioning of the remote control unit;
•Do not disassemble or remodel the unit,
• Do not place heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not leave it where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not spill beverages or other liquids over it.
When the system is installed in a rack, the distance over which the
remote control unit can be operated may be reduced depending on
the thickness and color of the rack’s glass doors.

1 Connect the FM indoor antenna.
Find a position on a wall or other surface where there is minimal
noise during reception and tape the antenna at that position. If
the noise level is high, it is recommended that an outdoor
antenna be installed. (See page 9.)
1. Assemble the AM loop antenna.

The configuration of the AC
power supply cord and FM
indoor antenna differ
according to the area.
Connect the speaker cables.

strands have become unraveled, twist
them tight again.
2. Connect the cables to the speakers.
Connect each of the cables to the
speaker terminal lever with the same
color.
3. Connect the cables to the system. To
prevent malfunctioning, do not shortcircuit the conductors.

These tapes are handy for their long playback and recording time
but be careful about repeatedly stopping, starting, rewinding and fast
forwarding these tapes in short intervals as they are thin, tend to
stretch and may become entangled in the machine.
Do not use the Fe-Cr tapes (TYPE III) in this system:
if you use this tape, it is impossible to obtain the required flat
frequency response.
If the tape loosens, take up the slack
Tape slack may cause the tape to break.
To prevent erasure of recorded sounds
Remove the erase-prevention tabs with a screwdriver or a similar
object.
To clean this unit, use a soft, dry cloth.
if the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a
soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution.
Wring the cloth well before wiping the unit.
Wipe once again with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, or chemically treated
cloths to clean this unit. Such chemicais may damage the finish of
