FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - SA-EX320 TECHNICS

Quelle est la puissance de sortie du Technics SA-EX320 ?

Le Technics SA-EX320 délivre 2 x 50 watts RMS sous 8 ohms, suffisant pour une écoute stéréo de qualité.

Comment connecter des enceintes supplémentaires ?

Utilisez les bornes A et B à l'arrière : vous pouvez brancher deux paires d'enceintes et les sélectionner via le bouton SPEAKERS en façade.

Comment régler la balance sonore ?

Tournez le potentiomètre BALANCE sur la façade : à gauche pour réduire le canal droit, à droite pour réduire le gauche.

Puis-je brancher une platine vinyle ?

Oui, l'entrée PHONO est prévue pour une platine avec cellule magnétique (MM). Branchez les câbles RCA et la masse.

Comment mémoriser des stations radio ?

Syntonisez la station, puis appuyez sur MEMORY et sur une touche numérique (1-8) pour la sauvegarder.

Que faire si le son est faible ou distordu ?

Vérifiez les connexions d'enceintes, la sélection d'entrée et le réglage du volume. Si le problème persiste, testez avec un autre source.

Comment nettoyer le récepteur ?

Dépoussiérez régulièrement avec un chiffon doux et sec. N'utilisez jamais de solvants ou de nettoyants abrasifs.

Le voyant STEREO ne s'allume pas, est-ce grave ?

Cela indique que le signal reçu n'est pas en stéréo. Vérifiez l'antenne et la fréquence. En FM, un signal faible peut passer en mono.

Puis-je utiliser des enceintes 4 ohms ?

Oui, mais la puissance disponible sera plus élevée ; veillez à ne pas dépasser la limite de l'amplificateur pour éviter une surchauffe.

Comment réinitialiser l'appareil ?

Débranchez le cordon d'alimentation pendant 30 secondes, puis rebranchez-le. Les stations mémorisées seront effacées.

Safety

1. Power Source – The unit should be connected to power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods -- When the unit is not used, turn the power off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

- Start your volume control at a low setting.

- Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to the directory of Authorized Service Centers (enclosed with this unit) to locate a convenient service center, or consult your Technics dealer for instructions.

(In U.S.A. consult PASC Authorized Servicenters for detailed instructions or call 1-800-545-2672 for the address of an authorized factory servicenter.)

Reference pages indicated in black circles. (For example: ⑨)

Problem	Probable cause(s)	Suggested remedy
While listening to FM broadcasts
An unusual hissing noise is heard when listening to the broadcast in stereo, but not heard when listening monaurally.	A slight noise may be heard because the method used for modulation of FM stereo broadcasts is different than that used for monaural broadcasts.	Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble control.(12)Try changing the location, height and/or direction of the antenna.(9 10)If an indoor antenna is being used, change to an outdoor antenna.(10)Try using an antenna with more elements.
Noise is excessive in both stereo and monaural broadcasts.	Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.
	Transmitting station is too far away.
The FM stereo indicator or the quartz lock indicator flickers, without completely illuminating.	Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.	Try changing the location, height and/or direction of the antenna.(9 10)If an indoor antenna is being used, change to an outdoor antenna.(10)Try using an antenna with more elements.
	Transmitting station is too far away.
Excessive distortion in the sound of stereo broadcasts.	Nearby building or mountain.

While listening to AM broadcasts
An unusual “beat” sound is heard.	Unit is being used at the same time as the television set.	• Turn off the television set, or use this unit farther away from it.
	Interference from adjacent broadcast signal.	• Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble control. (15)
A low-pitched “hum” sound is heard when the station is tuned.	The AM loop antenna connection wires are too close to the power cord.	• Place the antenna connection wires and the power cord farther apart.
	The power supply frequency from the power cord is modulated and heard from the speakers.	• Install a special outdoor antenna. (16)
A strange hissing noise is produced continuously or intermittently.	Caused by the “discharge phenomenon” and the “oscillation phenomenon” of electric appliances (such as fluorescent lights, TV, small series-type motors, rectification equipment, etc.).	• Try placing this unit farther away from such equipment.

Common Problems
Power will not switch ON.	The power cord plug is not completely inserted.	Confirm that the power cord plug is connected completely.
No sound is heard.	The speaker indicator is turned off.	Turn on the speaker indicator. (18)
	The tape monitor function is ON.	Press the tape monitor button. (19)
	The muting function is ON.	Press the muting button. (10)
	Connections are incomplete or incorrect to the speaker systems, etc.	Check that all connection wires are correctly connected. (11 12)
	The incorrect input selector has been pressed.	Check that the correct selector is pressed. (13)
Sound stops during a performance, or no sound is heard when the power is switched ON.(The word “OVERLOAD” appears on the display.)	The protection circuitry has functioned because the positive and negative speaker connection wires have “shorted,” speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of this unit have been used or under severe use, such excessive volume, excessive power and in an excessively hot environment.	Switch off the power, and after determining and correcting the cause, switch on the power once again.Use a speaker system of the proper impedance rating. (11 12)
