Kenwood KVS-400, KVS-300, KVS-200 User Manual
Introduction
Your Kenwood KVS speakers were
designed to meet the demands of
today’s high-quality music recordings
and film soundtracks.
Your new speakers:
• Deliver wide dynamic range and
powerful bass response
• Feature quality-built acousticallyoptimized enclosures
• Are magnetically-shielded for use
in audio/video systems
• Were designed, engineered, and
assembled in the USA.
Installing the speakers isn’t difficult,
but please read and follow all of the
instructions in this manual to get
maximum performance from your
new speakers. If you’re also
connecting other equipment, such
as a receiver, power amplifier, or
pre-amplifier, use this manual in
combination with the materials that
came with those components.
Unpacking
Unpack your new speakers carefully
and examine them for shipping
damage. If they are damaged or fail
to operate, notify your dealer immediately. If your speakers were
shipped to you directly, notify the
shipping company without delay.
Only the person or company who
originally received the unit can file a
claim against the carrier for shipping
damage. Keep the original carton
and packing materials in case you
need to transport or ship your
speakers.
About speaker wire
We ask you to buy the wire separately, since we don’t know how
much wire you will need. We
suggest that you buy wire that is at
least 18-gauge or thicker.
Remember, the smaller the number,
the thicker the wire, so 18-gauge
wire is thicker than 20-gauge wire.
Before you run out to buy speaker
wire, read the section on ‘Placing
the speakers’ on page 3. You’ll need
to know where your speakers will
go before you buy the speaker wire.
For your records
Record the serial number (found on
the back of the unit) on the
warranty card, and in the space
below. If you need to call your
dealer for information or service,
you’ll need the model and serial
numbers. And be sure to save your
original receipt.

Safety Precautions
For all units

unit out of its shipping bag,
dispose of the bag, keeping it out
of the reach of children and
animals. Be aware that the bag
could cause suffocation.
2 Protect your unit from moisture.
Don’t place your unit near
water—for example, a bathtub,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, wet
basement or near a swimming
pool.
3 Keep your unit out of extreme
hot and cold. Your unit may not
work properly if it is used at
extremely low or freezing
temperatures. Don’t place your
unit near radiators, heat registers,
stoves or other heat sources.
4 Don’t put objects or liquids into
the unit! NEVER permit children
to put anything into the unit.
5 NEVER try to open the unit or
take it apart.
6 To clean, use a clean, dry cloth.

volatile solvents such as alcohol,
paint thinner, gasoline, benzene,
etc. to clean the cabinet. If this is
an electrically-powered unit,
unplug it before cleaning.

unit. You should take the unit to
qualified service personnel for

some cases, discoloration of TV
pictures), keep the unit away
from sources of magnetic fields,
such at TVs, radios, motorized
toys, or magnetized objects. If
the unit is magnetically-shielded
(the manual will state this), it is
not subject to these problems.
