PREPARING THE KS-600 FOR USE

Unroll the wire from the right speaker. Grip the side of the
wire that is marked with a dashed line. Depress the R+
(red) thumb tab and insert the bare wire end into the oval
hole. Release the thumb tab to complete the connection.
Connect the unmarked side of the R speaker wire to the
black R terminal. Similarly, connect the left speaker to the
left speaker terminals. The speaker terminals are
identified as (30) on the control and feature identification
drawing.

If you will be using the KS-600 with an iPod, insert the
plug at the end of the dock cable into the socket (27) on
the right side of the KC-600. DO NOT twist the plug to
achieve alignment, as this WILL damage the plug. This
dock only needs to be connected if you will be using an
iPod with the KS-600.

ANTENNAS – AM AND FM

Unpack the AM antenna and snap it’s cylindrical end onto the base/mounting
plate. Stretch out the twisted cord and Insert the small rectangular plug at the
end into the socket (29) located on the side of the main unit. Note, this plug is
keyed and only fits one way. Orient the AM antenna for best reception of your
favorite AM station.

Locate the FM wire antenna and stretch it out. The
plastic connector on the end of this wire should be
pressed onto the center post of the FM antenna
connector (28) on the right side of the KS-600. Some
force may be necessary to accomplish this. Position
this antenna for best reception of your favorite FM
station.

SELECT A LOCATION for your KS-600

Because the KS-600 generates heat during operation it is necessary to provide
open space around it for proper cooling. Failure to do so can significantly reduce
the service life. Do not place the KS-600 near a heater or in direct sunlight. The
KS-600 should not be placed atop electronic devices that generate heat.

In most situations the best radio reception will be had when the KS-600 and its
antennas are near a window.

For proper remote control operation there must be an unobstructed path between
the remote and the KS-600 face.

The KS-600 includes an aux input allowing external devices with a headphone
output to be played through the KS-600. If this feature will be used, keep in
mind the length of the interconnect cable needed when selecting the location.

CONNECT POWER

Plug the Power cord into an un-switched electrical outlet. Press the
STANDBY/ON button to verify that the blue panel lights come on.
