Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if

you experience a sudden change in performance.

³Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods

other than those described in this manual.

Surround speakers

meter higher than ear level with the Technics logo facing toward the lis-

tening 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 (á 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.

Attaching to a wall

Set the speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into posi-

tion.

70 mm

30–35 mm

Ø7.5–9.5 mm
