Use only the supplied speakers.
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
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.
- When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone (for areas except the United Kingdom, Continental Europe and Russia) or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
- When adjusting the sound quality.
- When turning the unit on or off.
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.
Front speakers
Left and right front speakers are exactly same.
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.
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 (→ page 18, VIRTUAL REAR SURROUND).
Attaching to a wall
Set the speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into position.

Note
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 5 kg per screw.
Caution
- 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.
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.

Bitstream
This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Chapter
This is the smallest division on DVD and is roughly equivalent to a track.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.
This is called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This method of coding digital signals was developed by Digital Theater Systems. The signals are compressed at a low ratio to maintain sound quality.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Field
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames.
Frame
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about thirty frames shown each second.
Frame still and field still
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adapted for use with DVD, codes frames using these three picture types.
1: Intra coded picture (I-picture)
This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)
This picture is calculated based on past I and P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
PBC (Playback control)
This method of controlling disc play is included on version 2.0 Video CDs. You are able to interact with the disc through menus.
PCM (Pulse code modulation), Linear PCM
PCM is the usual digital method used for Audio CDs. DVDs have a greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a higher sampling rate.
Sampling rate
This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during conversion to a digital signal. Sampling frequency is expressed in kilohertz (kHz). A high sampling frequency results in a sound close to the original when played back.
Title
This is the largest division on DVD.
Track
This is the smallest division on Video CD and Audio CD, and usually equates to a single song.
