Placement of center/surround speakers

Center speaker

i

Place the center speaker above a TV, as close to it as possible.

I

1

Do not place the center speaker on this system as sound quality will
be affected.

Surround speakers

We recommend that surround speakers be placed on the side of or

1

slightly behind the listener, and about one meter higher than ear
level.
Place the speakers with the Technics logo facing toward the listening
position.

For your reference

Even if you are forced to put your surround speakers on top of your

front speakers, this unit still allows you to enjoy surround effects

(• pages 45, 49, "Virtual rear surround effecf)-

Attaching to a wall S

Set speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into posi
tion.

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

Caution

•Use 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 oc
curred or if you experience a sudden change in perfor
mance.

•Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using

methods other than those described In this manual.

m

The front and center speakers are made so they can be used in close

proximity to the TV, but irregular coloring may result due to how the
system is placed. If such distortion occurs, turn off the TV for be
tween 15 and 30 minutes. 77ie demagnetizing function of the TV will
eliminate the distortion. If the irregular coloring is still visible, then

move the speaker further away from the TV.

If rile surfaces are dirty

Placement

Foreign materials

To clean this unit, wipe with 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.

•Never use alcohol, paint thinner or ben
zine to clean this unit.

•Before using chemically impregnated
cloth, read the instructions that cams with
the cloth carefully.

For a cleaner crisper sound

We recommend that you periodically clean
parts (the shaded portion in the figure below)
the tape contacts like the heads.

Do not use any solution other than alcohol
for head cleaning.

Avoid placing the unit in areas of;

•direct sunlight

•high temperature

• high humidity

•excessive vibration

•uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a fiat
level surface.)

Such conditions might damage the cabinet
and/or other component parts and thereby
shorten the unit's service life.

To protect the unit against sound distortion

and acoustical effects, please place the unit
at least 15 cm away from wai! surfaces etc.

Stacking

Never place heavy items on top of the unit or
the AC mains lead.

Voltage

•it is very dangerous to use an AC power
source of high voltage such as for an air
conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connec
tion.

•A DC power source cannot be used.

Be sure to check the power source careful
ly, especially if on a ship or other place
where DC is used.

AC mains lead protection

•Ensure that no foreign objects, such as
needles, coins, screwdrivers etc., acciden
tally fall into the unit.
Othenwise, a serious eiectric shock or mal

function could occur.

•Be extremely careful about spilling water or

liquid on/into the unit, as a fire or electric
shock could occur.
(Disconnect the power plug and contact
your dealer immediately if this occurs.)

•Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as
they contain flammable gases which can
be ignited.

•insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and sim
ilar chemicals should never be used to
clean the unit as they can cause flaking or
cloudiness to the cabinet finish.

Service

• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or re
construct the unit if there seems to be a

problem,
A serious electric shock could result if you
ignore this precautionary measure.

• If a problem occurs during operation (the

sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light
up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your
dealer or Authorized Service Center imme
diately,

•Disconnect the power supply if the unit will
not be used for a long time. Otherwise the
operation life could be shortened.

•Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of
the AC mains lead, as this may result in fire
or electric shock.

Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the
AC mains lead should atso be avoided.

•Do not pulton the AC mains lead when you
are disconnecting the power, as this could
cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug
firmly when you disconnect the AC mains
lead.

•Never touch the plug with wet hands or a

serious electric shock could result.
