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, sizeof grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure.
CO ntro Is may resu it i n da mage
18. 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.
19. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
20. Attachment- Do not use attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
21. Replacement parts-When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

KENWOOD CORP. CERTIFIES THIS EQUIPMENT
CONFORMSTODHHS REGULATIONS NO. 21 CFR 1040.10,
CHAPTER I, SUBCHAPTER J.
Location: Back Panel
Notes:
1, Item 3 is not required except for grounded or polarized equipment.
2, Item 17 and 18 are not required except for units provided with
antenna terminals.
3, Item 17 complies with UL in the U.S.A.
Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab):
After an important recording has been finished; break the
safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being
erased or recorded on accidentally,
To store cassette tapes:
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to di
rect sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat,
keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
When there is slack in the tape;
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind
the reel hub to remove the slack.
To re-record
Notes:-
120-minute cassette tape:
Since a 120-minute cassette tape is very thin, the tape
could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recom
mended that these tapes not be used with this unit to pre
vent possible damage.
Cover with adhesive tape.
Cleaning the head section
Cleaning the heads and peripheral com
ponents:
For maintaining the best condition of the deck
and for longer service life, always keep the head
(recording/playback/erase), capstan and pinch
roller clean.
To clean them, perform the following:
1. Open the cassette holder.
2. Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol,
clean the head (recording/playback/erase),
capstan and pinch roller carefully.
Disc handling precautions
Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not
touch the playing surface.
Endless tapes:
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the
mechanism of the unit.
Demagnetizing the head
When the recording/playback head is magne
tized, the sound quality wiil be deteriorated. In
such a case, demagnetize the head using a
commercially available demagnetizer (head,
eraser).
Note:
There are precisely aligned parts around the
heads, including the tape guides.
When cleaning, pay special attention so as not
to apply shock to them.
Cleaning
If fingerprints or foreign matter become
attached to the disc, lightly wipe the
disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar)
from the center of the disc outwards in
a radial manner.
Do not attach paper or tape to either
the playing side or the label side of
compact discs.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a
long period of time, remove it from the
CD player and store it in its case.
Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of cold
materiai, water drops are produced.
If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible,
or the unit may not function correctlly.
This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried.
(To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit as it
is for several hours.)
Be especially careful in the following conditions:
• _ When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm place,
and there is a large temperature difference,
• When a heater starts operating.
• When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a
place of high temperature with high humidity.
• When there is a large difference between the internal tem
perature of the unit and the ambient temperature, or in con
ditions where condensation occurs easily.
Setting the channel space (only some areas)
The space between broadcast stations is called the channel space. This space will differ depending on the country.
You can set the proper channel space for the country in which you will be using the unit, immediately after you insert
the plug of the power cord into the power outlet. When you insert the power plug into the outlet:
Operate with the POWER key being kept OFF.
□ Either "STEP 9 kHz" or "STEP 10 kHz" will be displayed.

Dolby noise reduction system
The Dolby noise reduction system was developed to reduce the tape hiss noise generated during playback.
The optimum effect of the Dolby NR system is obtained when the same type NR system is used for both recording and playback. If a
different type NR system is used, playback is not performed correctly. Make sure that the same type noise reduction system is used
for both recording and playback.
Dolby B NR
The most popular noise reduction system used in home audio components. Usually, Dolby NR system corresponds to B NR.
AM 530 kHz {for STEP 10 kHz) is displayed.

How to assemble
Unfasten the bundle
power cord, and set it to a direction which provides the best reception.
It the reception is poor when the AM loop antenna is used, distribute a vinyl-coated wire of more than 6 meters
outdoors, without disconnecting the loop antenna.

FM indoor antenna connection
It is recommended to install an exclusive FM outdoor antenna to capture FM broadcasts with high sound quality.
Use a coaxial cable for the connection between the outdoor antenna and FM ANTENNA terminal on the rear panel.
For the connection between the coaxial cable and FM ANTENNA temninal, please refer to page 9.
