Safety precautions

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.

Voltage

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.

AC mains lead protection

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.

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 flammable 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, 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.

Listening position

Front view Front view

¤The front, center, and surround speakers should be

placed at approximately the same distance from the listening position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Placement of center/surround speakers

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 surround-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.

Troubleshooting guide

Before requesting service, make the below checks. If you can’t fix the system as described below, or if something not listed here occurs, refer to the enclosed directory to locate an Authorized Service Center convenient to you or contact your dealer.

Reference pages are shown as black circled numbers 6. Common Problems

Noise is heard. The stereo indicator flickers or doesn’t light. Sound is distorted.

A beat sound is heard. A low hum is heard during AM

broadcasts. The correct AM frequency can’t be

tuned in.

Use an outdoor antenna. 7

Turn the TV off or separate it from the unit. Separate the antenna from other cables and leads.

Change the frequency step. Hold [TUNER/BAND] down for 10 seconds to change the step to 9 kHz.

The cassette deck

Poor quality sound.

Recording is not possible.

Clean the heads. [ Check the Dolby NR setting. B

If the erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the holes with adhesive tape. N

No sound.

Sounds unfixed, reversed or come from one speaker only.

Humming heard during play.

“ERROR” is displayed. “U70” is displayed. “F61” is displayed. ECO mode on but display still

lights up in standby mode. “––:––” appears on the display.

Turn the volume up. The speaker cords may be shorted. Turn the unit off, check and correct the connections and turn the unit on. 6

Check the speaker connections. 6

An AC mains lead or fluorescent light is near the cables. Keep other appliances and leads away from this unit’s cables. If possible in your area, turn the AC mains lead’s plug or connector over to reverse the lead’s polarity.

Incorrect operation performed. Read the instructions and try again. Connect the flat cables firmly. If “U70” remains on the display, contact the dealer. There is a problem with the tuner amplifier. Consult your dealer. Turn DEMO off. ;

You plugged the AC mains lead in for the first time or there was a power failure recently. Set the time. ;

Listening to the radio

When there is a television set nearby

The picture on the TV disappears or stripes appear on the screen.

The location and orientation of the antenna are incorrect. If you are using an indoor antenna, change to an outdoor antenna. The TV antenna wire is too close to the system. Separate the antenna wire of the TV set from the system.
