Caution for AC Mains Lead
Before use
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 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.

∫ You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods. ∫ Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage. ≥When playing distorted sound. ≥When 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. ≥When adjusting the sound quality. ≥When turning the unit on or off.
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 26, VIRTUAL REAR SURROUND). Attaching to a wall Set the speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into position. 70 mm

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.
