Canadian IC Compliance Notice
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Rechargeable Battery Warning
If this unit uses a rechargeable battery, use the battery charger that came with the unit only. Do NOT take apart, damage, burn, or short circuit the battery, or expose it to heat—this could cause it to burst or to release toxic materials. Keep the battery away from children.
About the power supply
This unit is designed for operation in the USA and Canada using a power supply of AC 120 volts only.
Safety Precautions
Read this page carefully to ensure safe operation.
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions before operating this unit. Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in this manual. Follow all the safety and operating instructions. These safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
1 Power sources. The unit should be
connected to a power supply only of the type described in this manual or as marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your unit dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the instruction manual.
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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
3 CAUTION—Polarization. This unit
may be equipped with a polarized alter­nating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider that the other). This plug will fit into the power 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 the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
4 Ventilation. Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the unit and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. 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 4 inches away from the walls.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
!
!
Do not use the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the ventila­tion openings. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventila­tion is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
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 basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
6 Temperature. The unit may not func-
tion properly if used at extremely low, or freezing temperatures. The ideal ambient temperature is above +41ºF.
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 objects do not fall and liquid is not spilled into the enclosure 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 children to put anything, especially metal, inside this unit.
9 Enclosure removal. Never remove
the enclosure. If the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock might occur.
10 Cleaning. Unplug this unit from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.
11 Lightning. For added protection for this
unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long peri­ods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
12 Abnormal smell. If an abnormal smell
or smoke is detected, immediately turn the power OFF and unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer or nearest service center.
13 Damage requiring service. The unit
should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
The unit has been exposed to rain or water.

The unit does not appear to operate normally by following the instruction manual. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instruction manual as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
14 Servicing. The user should not attempt
to service the unit beyond that described in the instruction manual. All other servic­ing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
15 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.
16 AC outlets. Do not connect other
audio equipment with a power consump­tion larger than that specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never connect other electrical units, such as an iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric shock.
17 Overloading. Do not overload wall
outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18 Attachment. Do not use attachments
not recommended by the unit manufac­turer as they may cause hazards.
19 Replacement parts. When replace-
ment 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.
20 Safety check. Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

Setting up your SPECTRUM System isn’t difficult, but getting your system up and running will be even easier if you follow the step-by-step direc­tions in this manual.
Unpacking
Unpack all of the components care­fully, and examine them for shipping damage. If any are damaged or fail to operate, notify your dealer imme­diately. If your SPECTRUM System was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay. Only the person or company who originally received the system 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 SPECTRUM System.
Did you get everything?
Check the lists below to make sure you have everything. And before you start setting up the system, look at the list of tools and other items you need. If you’re setting up other components along with your system, read the manual that came with each of those components to see what you need.

SRC-406C
contact:
Tocabi America 755 Otay Valley Road Chula Vista, CA 91911 (619) 661-6136
or
SRC-406N
contact:
Kenwood 1900 Gulf Street Lamar MO 64759 (800) 327-9782
Stacking your components in the rack
To make sure that they’re properly ventilated and stable, stack them according to the following diagram. If you’re using a turntable, place it on top of the rack.
Positioning your speakers
You can get the best stereo effect by placing your speak­ers 6' to 12' apart along the same wall, with the main listening area midway between the 2 speakers.
• To enhance the stereo effect (especially if the speak­ers are more than 8' apart), rotate each speaker slightly toward the listening area.
• Placing the speakers against a wall will increase their bass output, but could also make them sound unnatu­rally ‘thick’ or ‘heavy’. If this occurs, try moving them away from the wall a foot or so.

Important:
Please wait until you’ve connected all of the cables before plugging any of the components into AC wall outlets and turning them on.
Connecting your speakers
Connect your speakers first. You’ll have an easier time getting to the connections on the backs of the components before you connect all of the other cables.
1 Place the speakers in their
approximate locations first, then leave a little extra speaker wire so you can fine-tune their loca­tions.
2 Use the speaker wire supplied
with the speakers. If you need longer wire, buy speaker wire that is 18-gauge or thicker. Remember, the smaller the number, the thicker the wire: 18-gauge wire is thicker than 20-gauge.
A few tips
• To save you time, we’ve removed the insulation from the ends of the speaker wire we supplied.
• When connecting speaker wires, be sure to connect positive connections to each other and negative connections to each other. Connecting positive to negative (+ to - ) or negative to
positive (- to +) can cause poor sound quality.
• Never allow the positive and negative speaker wires to touch each other. Touching wires can cause a short circuit, which could damage your electronics.
Left and right speakers
Connect the left and right speakers to the ‘Speakers’ jacks on the receiver.

Using the AM indoor loop antenna (supplied)
Place the antenna as far away as possible from the main system, television, speaker wires and power cords.
Rotate the antenna until you get the best reception.
Using the FM indoor antenna (supplied)
Use this antenna until you can install an outdoor antenna. When you do, remove the indoor antenna.
1 Remove the insulation from the wire tip, and twist the wire tightly to get
rid of any loose strands.
2 Connect the end of the wire to the left-most antenna jack on the receiver.
3 Fully extend the antenna, and place it along a wall or bookshelf.
4 Adjust the antenna to find the position that provides the best reception.
5 Attach the looped end to the wall or bookshelf.
The quality of your FM/AM recep­tion depends on how well you place your antennas. So please follow the instructions carefully.
