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 dam-
aged. 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 flam-
mable 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, disas-
sembled 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.

Check for the ASTA mark mor the BSI mark oon
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.

ASet the voltage
(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 appro-
priate 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.
»
DPlacement 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 prefer-
ence, 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 recommend-
ed, you can put them near the front speakers and still achieve a sur-
round-like effect (ápage 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, Conti-
nental 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.

curred or if you experience a sudden change in perfor-
mance.
³Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using
methods other than those described in this manual.

Refer to this table when selecting discs.
The picture will appear on the screen as shown here.
¤1You may not able to perform operations that require interaction
with the television (e.g., initial settings) because on-screen mes-
sages are not displayed correctly.
¤2In “9 Other Settings”–“6 NTSC Disc Output”, select “1 PAL60” (á
page 46). If your television is not equipped to handle PAL 525/60
signals the picture will not be shown correctly.

es to the initial settings are necessary.
¤4If you select “2 NTSC” in “9 Other Settings”–“6 NTSC Disc Out-
put” (ápage 46), the picture may be clearer.
Note
The bottom part of the picture may be cut off if the Video CD played
does not comply with standards.
