Notes on speaker use
∫ 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.
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.
Note
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be
capable of supporting 5 kg per screw.
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.
