Centre channel speaker system Enceinte centrale

SB-AFC150A

Supplied accessories /Accessoires fournis

Metal wall mounts (2)

Set either on top of, or underneath, the TV or on the wall.

The centre channel speaker is designed so as to be able to be used in close proximity to the TV, but irregular colouring may result due to how the system is placed. If such distortion occurs, turn off the TV for between 15 and 30 minutes. The demagnetizing function of the TV will eliminate the distortion. If the irregular colouring is still visible, then move the speakers further away from the TV.

Please note that if there is a magnetic (metal) object near the TV, irregular colouring may result due to the interaction between the TV and the speaker.

Wall installation

Alternatively, the speaker can be mounted on the wall with the metal wall mounts that are included. You can mount the speaker horizontally or vertically depending on your personal taste. Follow the metal wall mount installation described. The Technics emblem can be rotated to match the position.

1. Be sure to reduce the volume level setting at the receiver when the signal input exceeds the rated allowable input, in order to avoid damage to circuitry or other malfunctions.
2. Avoid locations such as those described below:

• Where the humidity is high

1. Never use alcohol, paint thinner, benzine or other similar chemicals to clean the unit as they may damage the finish.
