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.

Caution for AC Mains Lead

(For United Kingdom)

(“EB” area code model only)

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

Before use

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!

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.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL n OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.

THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.

Before use

Remove the connector cover.

How to replace the fuse

The location of the fuse differ according to the type of AC mains plug (figures A and B). Confirm the AC mains plug fitted and follow the instructions below. Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.

1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

Figure A

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.

Figure B

2. Replace the fuse and close or attach the fuse cover.

(Except for the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Russia, Australia and N.Z.)

Be sure to disconnect the AC mains lead before setting the voltage. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the voltage selector to the appropriate position for the area in which this system is to be used. If the power supply in your area is 115 V, 120 V or 230 V, set the voltage selector as follows:

³For 115 V: set to 110 V ³For 120 V: set to 127 V ³For 230 V: set to 220–230 V

Note that the unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made correctly.

Locating the components

[B] Side-by-side set-up/[C] Stacking

Note

Left and right front speakers are exactly the same.

Use only the supplied speakers.

The combination of the system and the speakers provides the best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

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 (and subwoofer)

Center speaker

Place the center speaker (h) directly above the television.

Surround speakers

Place the surround speakers (i, j) on 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 (á page 35, “VIRTUAL REAR SURROUND”).

[E] Attaching to a wall

Set speaker onto screws and slide through the 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.

Subwoofer

(Included only for areas other than the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Australia and N.Z.)

The subwoofer (m) can be placed anywhere as long as it is standing and not too far from the television.

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 farther away from the television.

MUSIC

³Dolby Digital is a discrete 5.1 (6) channel

surround system developed for cinema use. The sound signals in Dolby Digital format are compressed to 1/10 their original size, allowing an entire movie to be recorded on a single DVD.

³This unit automatically recognizes DVDs

that have been recorded with Dolby Digital.

³Not all Dolby Digital sources are

recorded with 5.1 (6) channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system.

³Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding system

that was developed to get a better sense of presence from sources encoded with Dolby Surround. Positioning has been improved by the addition of a separate center speaker channel.

³This unit has built-in Dolby Pro Logic

circuitry.

³This mode adds surround effects to

movie software that hasn’t been recorded with the above systems.

³In MOVIE mode you can adjust the

volume of the surround speakers to get the best surround effect.

This mode adds surround effects to stereo sources.

DVDs encoded with Dolby Digital can be identified with this mark.
