Installation
Installation
• Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.
• The speakers produce the sound from the side and rear, as well as from the front. Do not cover the side/rear of the speakers.
• Install the speakers at least 10 cm (3 15/16”) away from the back wall, at least 50 cm (19 11/16”) away from the side walls. (Keep your speakers more than 10 cm (3 15/16”) from the main unit.)
• When placing the speakers on stands, be sure to consult an installation specialist to protect the speakers from falling off/earthquakes.
Notes on the speakers
• There is Technics logo on the front side.
• The right and left speakers are the same.
• These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not put them near TVs, PCs or other equipment easily influenced by magnetism.
• When you play at high levels for a long period, it can cause damage to the system and decrease the life of the system.
• Decrease the volume in these conditions to prevent damage.
- When you play distorted sound.
- When you adjust the sound quality.
- When you turn this unit on.
• Use only the supplied speakers. The combination of the main unit and speakers give the best sound. You can cause damage to the system and decrease the sound quality if you use other speakers.
• When moving the speakers, disconnect the speaker cables and hold the center of the speakers with both hands.
For optimum position
The quality and volume of the bass sound, sound localization performance, sound ambience, and other factors that determine the audio quality vary depending on the installation location of this unit, listening position, room conditions, and other factors. Refer to the information below when installing the speakers.
Determining an installation location.
• Put the speakers on a flat safe surface.
• To minimize the gap in audio quality between the left and right speakers, install them so that acoustic conditions (reflection and absorption of sound) around them are the same.
Adjusting the distances between the speakers and the walls
• If you install the speakers close to a wall or in a corner, the bass sound will be more powerful; however, when the speakers are too close to it, sound localization performance and sound ambience may deteriorate. If this occurs, adjust the distance between the speakers and the wall.
Unit care
• Pull out the AC power supply cord from the outlet before maintenance. Clean this unit with a soft cloth.
• When dirt is heavy, wring a wet cloth tightly to wipe the dirt, and then wipe it with a soft cloth.
• Do not use solvents including benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergent, a chemical wiper, etc. This might cause the exterior case to be deformed or the coating to come off.
