IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
A Caution : Read this page carefully to ensure
safe operation.
___________________
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions
before operating this unit. For best results, follow all
warnings placed on the unit and adhere to the operat
ing and use instructions. These safety and operating in
structions should be retained for future reference.
1. Power sources — The unit should be connected
to a power supply only of the type described in the
operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
2. Power-cord protection — 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, pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the unit.
Never pull or stretch
the cord.
3. Grounding or polarization — The precautions
should be taken so that the grounding or polariza
tion means of this unit is not defeated.
7. Heat — The unit should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. Electric shock — Care should be taken so that ob
jects do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the en
closure through openings. If a metal object, such as
a hair pin or a needle, comes into contact with the
inside of this unit, a dangerous electric shock may
result. For families with children, never permit chil
dren to put anything, especially metal, inside this
unit.
4. Ventilation — The unit should be situated so that
its location or position does not interfere with its
proper ventilation.
To maintain good ventilation, do not put records or
a table-cloth on the unit. Place the unit at least
10 cm away from the walls.
Do not use the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings.
5. Water and moisture — The unit should not be
used near water — for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base
ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.
9. Enclosure removal — Never remove the en
closure. If the internal parts are touched accidentally,
a serious electric shock might occur.
10. Magnetic fields — Keep the unit away from
sources of magnetic fields such as TV sets, speaker
systems, radios, motorized toys or magnetized
objects.
11. Cleaning — Do not use volatile solvents such as
alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to
clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.
6. Temperature — The unit may not function pro
perly if used at extremely low, or freezing tempera
tures. The ideal ambient temperature is above -l- 5°C
(41 °F).

A Caution : Read this page carefully to ensure safe
operation.
12. Carts and stands — An appliance and cart com
bination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
13. Nonuse periods — The power cord of the unit
should be unplugged from the outlet when left un
used for a long period of time.
14. Abnormal smell — If an abnormal smell or smoke
is detected, immediately turn the power OFF and pull
out the power cord. Contact your dealer or nearest
service center.

16. Servicing — The user should not attempt to ser
vice the unit beyond that described in the operating
instructions. All other servicing should be referred
to qualified service personnel.
17. Outdoor antenna grounding — If an outside an
tenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the an
tenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up stat
ic charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with

FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch
(Except for some areas)
The FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear panel
is set to the correct setting that prevails in the area to which the
unit is shipped. However, if the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL
SPACE setting is not matched to the area where the unit is to be
used; for instance, when you move from area 1 to area 2 or vice
versa, desired reception of AM/FM broadcasts is not expected. In
this case, change the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE setting
in accordance with the area corresponding to the table. The FM
DE-EMPHASIS is switched over at the same time.
• When changing the setting of the FM DE-EMPHASIS/CHANNEL

System control connection
Be sure to insert the system control cord plugs fully into the
SYSTEM CONTROL terminals.
If the system control cord and audio cords are not connected
properly, the automatic system governing remote control and
system functions will not operate.
By connecting this unit to KENWOOD cassette deck, CD
player, and turntable models equipped with system control
jacks, the following integrated operation features become
available.
1. Automatic play operation

player connected to the receiver, press the desired input
selector keys on the receiver. The turntable, cassette deck,
or CD player will automatically enter play mode.
In the same way, pressing the piay key of turntable,
cassette deck, or CD player will automatically switch the
input selector on the receiver to the component on which
the Play key is pressed.
2. Synchro recording
To record the sound from the CD player or turntable on a
tape with the cassette deck, press the CD or PHONO of the
input selector keys and load a CD or record. Set the
cassette deck to rec pause mode, then press the PLAY
(START) key of the CD player or turntable. The cassette
deck will start recording automatically, synchronized with
the CD player or turntable starting play.
3. Remote control

Note on LOUDNESS control (For Europe only)
Listening at high volume allows to enjoy dynamic sound, but
human ears tend to feel low frequencies insufficient when
listening at low volume. When the VOLUME CONTROL is set
to a low position, the insufficiency of low frequencies felt by
human ears can be compensated by turning the LOUDNESS
control clockwise.

• The effect of LOUDNESS control is less sensible if the
VOLUME CONTROL is set to the ’5’ position or above.
e Be sure to minimize the volume before unplugging the head

Notes:
1. When the TAPE 2 key is set to ON, the source selected with
the INPUT SELECTOR cannot be heard from the speakers.
To listen to a source other than cassette deck 2, be sure to
set the TAPE 2 key to OFF.
2. The source selected with the INPUT SELECTOR is backed
up for a few days even when the power cord is unplugged.
After this period, the tuner is automatically selected when
the power is supplied.
STAND BY mode of POWER switch
When the power cord of this system is plugged into an AC
outlet, the STAND BY indicator lights up regardless of the
ON/OFF setting of the POWER switch. This indicates that a
small amount of current is being supplied to the unit to back up
the memory contents. This mode is referred to as the Stand By
mode. While the STAND BY indicator is lit, the power of the
system can be switched ON/OFF from the remote control unit.

Strömbrytarens POWER beredskapsläge
Indikatorn STAND BY lands after nätkabelns anslutning till all
vägguttag, oavsett strömbrytarens POWER till/frànslag. Detta
anger att en liten mängd ström leds till komponenten som stöd
för minnesinnehállet. Detta läge kallas för beredskapsläget.

Virtanappäimen (POWER) valmiustiia (STAND BY)
Kun laitteen verkkojohto on liitetty pistorasiaan, valmiustilan
merkkivalo syttyy riippumatta virtanäppäimen (POWER)
ásennosla (ON/OFF). Merkkivalo osoittaa, että laitteessa on
hieman virtaa muistin sisältöjen ylläpitoa varíen. Tätä tilaa
kutsutaan valmiustilaksi. Kun valmiustilan merkkivalo (STAND
BY) palaa, laitteen virta voidaan kytkeä ja katkaista
kaukosäätimellä.
