If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code
as stated below.
Front speakers
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
Caution
Left and right front speakers are exactly same.
≥Use 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.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
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.
Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if
you experience a sudden change in performance.
≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods
other than those described in this manual.
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
2. Replace the fuse and close or attach the fuse cover.
The effect varies with the type of music and the music source.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured
Black or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
Brown or Red.
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).

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.

Common Problems
The cassette deck
Poor quality sound.
No sound.
Turn the volume up.
Clean the heads. W
Switch off the unit, determine and correct the cause, then switch the unit on. Causes include shorting of the
positive and negative speaker wires, straining of the speakers through excessive volume or power, and using
the unit in a hot environment.
Check the Dolby NR setting. C
Recording is not possible.
If the erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the holes with adhesive tape. L
Sounds unfixed, reversed or
come from one speaker only.
Check the speaker connections. 6
“DECK NO TAPE” is displayed
during “One touch editing”.
Load a cassette into deck 2. L
Humming heard during play.
An AC mains lead or fluorescent light is near the cables. Keep other appliances and leads away from this
unit’s cables.
If possible in your area, turn the AC mains lead’s plug or connector over to reverse the lead’s polarity.
“DECK CHANGE TAPE” is
displayed during “One touch
editing”.
If the erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the holes with adhesive tape. L
“ERROR” is displayed.
