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.

Output Level
You can adjust the DT-7000S’s output
level so it matches other sources in your
audio system.
1. While in the Setup Mode, turn the
CATEGORY jog dial (unit) or press the
CAT buttons (remote) until the Output

Antenna Signal
This screen shows the quality of the SIRIUS satellite signal that’s being received, to help
you find the best location for the antenna.
1. While in the Setup Mode, turn the
CATEGORY jog dial (unit) or press the
CAT buttons (remote) until the Antenna
Signal screen appears (right):
• After a few seconds the signal
quality bars will indicate how well
the antenna is receiving the
SIRIUS satellite signal.
2. Find a location for the antenna that illuminates the maximum number of bars.
• After moving the antenna, wait at least 2 seconds before moving it again, to enable
the unit to process the signal.
3. Due to the moving paths of the SIRIUS satellites, it is possible for the signal to change
over time. In most cases, signal should be available continuously, however, it
may be temporarily blocked in some antenna locations in home installations. Be sure
to check the Antenna Signal screen if there is a loss of signal or audio.
Experimentation with antenna placement in the home or outside may be necessary to
ensure continuous reception.
• See page 5 for information about properly locating the SIRIUS antenna.
