»
(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		use
³For 120 V: set to 127 V
³For 230 V: set to 220–230 V		Before
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 oc- 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.

» Placement of center/surround

D

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 (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, 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.	5
If it persists, move the speakers farther away from the television.
