Safety precautions
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS TUNER
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Warning
• If the tuner emits smoke or strange smells,
turn the power off immediately, unplug the
power cord and consult your Kenwood dealer.
• Do not drop the tuner or subject it to
strong shocks.
• If the LCD display becomes damaged or
broken, do not touch the liquid crystal
fluid. The fluid may be dangerous to
your health or even fatal. If the liquid
crystal fluid contacts your body or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap
and water.
Caution
Take the following precautions to keep the
DT-7000S in proper working order:
• Do not install the tuner where it will be
exposed to high levels of humidity,
moisture, or dust.
• When replacing a fuse, use only a new
one with the proper rating. Using a fuse
with the wrong rating may cause the
tuner to malfunction.
Resetting the microprocessor
If the DT-7000S doesn’t seem to be
working properly:
• Turn the tuner’s power off, wait 5 – 10
seconds, then turn the power on again.
• If the tuner still mis-operates, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet, wait
5 – 10 seconds, replace plug the cord
back into the wall outlet and turn the
power back on.
If the problem persists, consult your
Kenwood dealer.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER OR BACK.

FCC Warning
This equipment may generate or use radio frequency
energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may
cause harmful interference unless the modifications are
expressly approved in this instruction manual. The user
could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an
unauthorized change or modification is made.
Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference
to radio communications if it is not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Cleaning the DT-7000S
If the tuner becomes dirty, turn its power off and wipe it
clean with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or other
volatile solvents to clean the tuner. These may cause
damage or remove indicator characters.
Important Safeguards
Power Source — Connect the DT-7000S only to a 120V 60Hz
AC power supply. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your local power company.
Power cord protection — Route the power cord so that it is
not likely to be walked-on or pinched by items placed
upon or against it.
CAUTION — Polarization — The DT-7000S is fitted with a
polarized AC plug (having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the 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 it should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Ventilation — Do not block the ventilation openings on the
back of the DT-7000S. Place the tuner at least 4 inches
away from the wall. When placing the DT-7000S in a rack or
built-in installation, take care to provide proper ventilation.
Water & moisture — Do not use the DT-7000S near water;
do not expose it to dripping or splashing liquids; do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the
tuner.
Temperature — The DT-7000S may not work properly if
used at extremely low, or freezing temperatures. The ideal
ambient temperature is above 41°F (+5°C).
Heat — Do not install the DT-7000S near heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances that produce heat.
Electric shock — Do not place objects or spill liquids into
the ventilation openings. If a metal object comes into contact with the inside of the tuner, a dangerous electric
shock may result. Never remove the enclosure. If internal
parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock
could occur.
Lightning — Unplug the DT-7000S from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna when it will be unused for a long
period of time.
Damage requiring service — The DT-7000S should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
• The power cord or plug has been damaged
• Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the tuner
• The tuner has been exposed to rain or water
• The tuner does not appear to operate normally by
following the instructions in this manual.
• The tuner has been dropped, or its chassis damaged.
• The tuner exhibits a marked change in performance.
Outdoor antenna grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the DT-7000S, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See the illustration below.
Power lines — An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
Replacement parts — When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Attachments — Only use attachments specified by
Kenwood with the DT-7000S.
Accessories — Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, or
bracket recommended
by Kenwood or sold with
the DT-7000S. Do not
place the tuner on an
unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket or table.
When a cart is used,
use caution when moving it to avoid tip-overs
that can cause injuries.

Connecting the DT-7000S to your audio system
Use the cables supplied with the DT-7000S to make these connections.
About the RS-232C
connection:
The RS-232C connection is
provided to allow the
DT-7000S to be controlled by
compatible 3rd-party control
systems. Kenwood recommends that this connection
only be used by experienced
professional system installers.
DO NOT connect the RS-232C
connection to a computer—it is
NOT COMPATIBLE with personal computers.
Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites
over the US, the best location for the
antenna will depend on what part of the
country you live in, the orientation of your
home, and the locations of any obstructions that could prevent the satellite signal from reaching the antenna.
The best antenna location is
on the roof, facing straight up
(A, right).
• The location of the “X” on the map
must be visible to the antenna.
The second best antenna
location is on an outside wall
(B – C, right).
Use an appropriate wall, depending on
where you live (refer to the map). The
location of the “X” on the map must be
visible to the antenna.
• Mount the antenna facing as close to
straight up as possible (
B, right
).
• To minimize interference caused by
roof extensions, mount the antenna as
low on the wall as possible while avoiding other obstructions (
C, right
).
The third best antenna location is at a window (D, right).
Use an appropriate window, depending
on where you live (refer to the map). The
location of the “X” on the map must be
visible to the antenna.
• Place the antenna midway between the
left and right window frames.
• Tilt the hinged part of the antenna back
to aim it towards the sky.
Note: Objects such as the following can
prevent the antenna from receiving the
satellite signal when placed at a window
or on an outside wall: • roof extensions
•the window frame •metallic window
screens or tinting •objects in the window
•nearby objects like trees, foliage or
buildings.
If the signal is blocked from getting to the
antenna, the antenna must be relocated
to a more appropriate window, an outside
wall free of obstructions, or on the roof.
