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.

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 m or the BSI mark o 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 for AC Mains Lead

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.

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUIT­ABLE 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 ELECTRI­CAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS IN­SERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

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
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.
