Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high tem-
peratures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can
damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the unit’s
service life.
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 mal-
function. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power sup-
ply 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, indi-
cators 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 unquali-
fied persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it
is not to be used for a long time.
Maintenance
If the surfaces are dirty
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
pNever use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
pBefore using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with
the cloth carefully.
For a cleaner crisper sound
Clean the heads regularly to assure good quality playback and recording.
Use a cleaning tape (not included).
Cassette tape selection and care
The unit can correctly play or record on the following types. It identifies the
type automatically.
pTapes exceeding 100 minutes are thin and can break or get caught in the
mechanism.
pTape slack can get caught up in the mechanism and should be taken up
before the tape is played.
pEndless tapes can get caught up in the deck’s moving parts if used incor-
rectly. Use tapes appropriate to this unit’s auto-reverse mechanism.

Note
Do not put the DVD/Video CD/CD changer on the top of the tuner/ampli-
fier. Heat can damage your discs.
Use only the supplied speakers.
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be neg-
atively affected.
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.
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.
Note
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be
capable of supporting 5 kg per screw.
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 in-
strument.
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.
