fitted and follow the instructions below.  
Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.  
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must en-  
sure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.  
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a

Note  
Use only the supplied speakers.  
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be neg-  
atively affected.  
Do not put the CD changer or CD player on the top  
of the tuner/amplifier. Heat can damage your CDs.  
Figure B  
Fuse cover  
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).  
Figure A  
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.  
Attaching to a wall  
Set the speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into  
position.

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.

Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding system that  
was developed to get a better sense of  
presence from sources encoded with  
Dolby Surround. The feeling of position  
has been improved by the addition of a  
separate center speaker channel.  
If your DVD player only has 2-channel  
output, you can still enjoy surround  
sound when playing 5.1 channel software
