Note

Do not put the DVD/Video CD/CD changer on the top of the tuner/ampli­fier. Heat can damage your discs.

Caution

pUse 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.

pDo not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using meth-

ods other than those described in this manual.

Notes on speaker use

w You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play

sound at high levels over extended periods.

w Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.

pWhen playing distorted sound.
pWhen the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone (for

Australia and N.Z.) or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or
continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic in­strument.

pWhen adjusting the sound quality.
pWhen turning the unit on or off.

If irregular colouring occurs on your television

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the
picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combinations.

If this occurs, 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.

Use only the supplied speakers.

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be neg­atively affected.

Front speakers

Left and right front speakers are exactly same.

Surround speakers

Place either side of the listening position, or slightly to the rear, about
1 meter higher than ear level with the Technics logo facing toward the
listening position.
The effect varies with the type of music and the music source.

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 34, VIRTUAL REAR SURROUND).

Attaching to a wall

Set the speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into
position.

Features

≥Dolby Digital and DTS are digital encoding

systems used on DVD to carry surround
sound. Both were originally developed for
use in cinemas.

≥This unit automatically recognizes and

decodes these systems.

≥This unit has built-in Dolby Pro Logic

circuitry so you can enjoy Dolby Surround.

≥Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding system that

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

≥This mode adds surround effects to movie

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

≥In 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.

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi­channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one
disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects
are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can
be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound
before distortion occurs.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields
one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of
two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality
is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so
picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video,
codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture (I-picture)

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting
the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information
with menus.

WMA/MP3/JPEG information

pDiscs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).
pThis unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it

takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a mini­mum to avoid this.

[WMA]

pNoise may occur when playing WMA files.
pYou cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.
pWMA files must have the extension “.WMA” or “.wma”.

[MP3]

pThis unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.
pIf you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take some

time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time will not be
displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the correct play time
will not be displayed.

pMP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”.

[JPEG]

To view JPEG files on this unit:
—Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF (Design rule for

Camera File system) standard. Some digital cameras have functions that
are not supported by the DCF standard like automatic picture rotation

which may render a picture un-viewable.
—Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different name.
—Ensure they have the extension “.JPG” or “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”.

This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other such

p

formats, still pictures other than JPEG (i.e. TIFF) or play associated sound.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, give folders and file
names 3-digit prefixes in the order you want to
play them (this may not work at times).
