VENTILATION HOLES The case top Is slotted to allow ventilation. Never block these holes with ornamental cloths, books or other objects. Make sure that metal objects such as coins, hairpins or needles do not enter the unit through the ventilation holes. The result could be a serious malfunction or a possible shock hazard. Make sure that children do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation holes. MODIFICATIONS AND SERVICE Each unit is shipped after it has been carefully adjusted and tested to provide optimum performance. The unit must not be modified internally. Unauthorized modifications will void the terms of the warranty. High voltages are used in some of the internal circuits. Therefore, do not remove the cabinet or touch internal parts. Refer all service to qualified service personnel. POWER CORD Always insert or remove the power plug from the AC outlet by grasping the plug body. Never pull or stretch the cord. Take care that the cord is not subject to traffic or bent sharply around furniture. Keep heavy objects off the cord; never route It under rugs, and avoid the use of extra ex- tension cords. Attention to these precautions will avoid fire or shock hazards. ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK Occasionally a disturbing howling sound caused by acoustic feedback, may be heard. This IS generally caused by the relative positions of the turntable and speaker enclosures. The sound pressure radiated from the speaker surrounds and vibrates the turntable This vibration is picked up by the cartridge, sent to the unit as an electrical signal, and returned to the speaker. This again causes the speakers to radiate vibration which induces sympathetic vibrations in the turntable and cartridge. Sympathetic vibrations are reinforced with each repeating cycle and result in an undesirable sound called oscillation or “howling”. To prevent it, keep your turntable away from your speakers. Also, mounting your turntable on shock-absorbing pads may help. SPEAKER-SYSTEM PROTECTION Your KR-7050 is capable of supplying very high power to your speakers. To prevent speaker damage due to accidental surges, such as may be caused by inadvertently dropping the stylus onto a record, make it a habit to reduce volume before changing records, switching between program sources or turning power ON. Check the power-handling ability of your speakers and make sure that the power supplied is within their limits. Excessive power can permanently damage your speakers. KR-7050(K) 3 4 1.

Connect the speakers to the and | В terminals in accordance with the location selected for each speaker. To ensure correct speaker phasing, observe polarity marks; connect terminals marked + on the receiver to similarly-marked speaker terminals. Do the same for receiver and speaker terminals marked with a minus sign. Reversal of speaker leads will result in loss of bass tones and poor stereo separation. If a second set of speakers is to be used, make connections at the right set of terminals, marked B. It should be noted that pairs of speakers must be connected to SPEAKERS terminals A and B, if sound is to be heard when the SPEAKERS switch is set to the A + B position. In this setting the speakers connected to the A and B terminals are put in series. Therefore, if there are no speakers connected to the B terminals, no sound will be heard from the A speakers when the SPEAKERS switch is set to A + B. When connecting the speaker leads to the speaker terminals, make sure that the bare wire strands at the ends of the speaker leads do not touch the adjacent terminal. It is recommended that the tips of the speaker leads be soldered, or the strands of individual leads be twisted together to eliminate any possibility of short-circuits forming in the speaker connecting network. Note: Speaker impedance must be 4-ohms or more if only one set of speakers is to be connected or when a pair is connected to both the A and 8 terminals. TURNTABLES Your stereo turntable has two audio cables that are terminated with phono plugs. Plug the left channel plug into the [L] and the right channel plug into the [R] PHONO INPUT jacks as shown on page 5.

However, the performance of your system is determined to a very large extent upon the signal conditions where the antenna Is placed. The reason Is that FM broadcast signals travel in straight paths. Therefore they can be blocked by natural or man-made obstructions such as mountains, hills, or buildings. At large distances from the transmitter the curvature of the earth acts as a screen between transmitter and receiver. Consider the signal conditions in planning vour installation. If you live in or near an urban area the indoor antenna (supplied) may serve your needs adequately. However, If favorite stations are weak due to natural obstructions, or if you live in a building which is made of steel-reinforced concrete (which acts as a shield) it may be necessary to install a good outdoor antenna. Mountain В > o ci E = pA e” E - EN Weakened Signal Building SUOMNY Ny Signal Direct Wave and Reflected Wave FM Indoor Antenna Connect the T-shaped indoor antenna (supplied) to the 3002 FM ANTENNA terminals as shown in the SYSTEM CONNECTION DIAGRAM. Spread the two arms that form the top of the “T” horizontally and hold them against convenient wall surfaces. Try several locations for best results on your favorite stations. Tape the antenna in place where the best compromise is found between listening results and appearance. E ¿TE -.

The choice of lead-in (feeder) wire 15 also important. The flat ribbon-shaped twin lead performs well electrically, s cheaper and 15 somewhat easier to handle in routing through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing Interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as the ribbon type wire. The latter is particularly true of foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna Is designed to drive that type of cable. In many cases a matching transformer (balun) must be used to connect the antenna terminals to the coaxial cable. 7 DI More than 2 meters | ignition ~~ \ (6.6 feet) above metal noise > Mic roof. ISSN \ DD AAs More than 4 meters N S NN (13 feet) above the ground. © To minimize auto-ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible. ® Keep the feeder or coaxial cable as short as possible.

Press in the FM 25us button on the front panel. (Remember to reset this button, press again to make it pop out, when Dolby Noise Reduction is not in use.) AC OUTLETS The AC outlets on the rear panel of the unit mav be used to supply power to other componenis in the system, such as a turntable, tape deck, etc. Never connect equipment whose power consumption exceeds the maximum value shown at each outlet. 1. SWITCHED outlet: This outlet supply power only when the KR-7050 is turned on. lts maximum capacity is 100 watts. 2. UNSWITCHED outlets: These outlets provides power when the unit is plugged into an active AC wall outlet, regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. Their max- Imum total capacity is 200 watts. CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS Be sure that connector plugs are firmly in- serted Into their respective jacks. Poor connec- tions may cause no sound output. They may also generate noise. Do not bunch antenna feeder lines and inter- connecting cords together with the AC line or speaker cords. Doing so can cause interference, and also may adversely affect sound quality.

A — Activates speakers connected to the SPEAKERS A ter- minals on the rear panel. B — Activates speakers connected to the SPEAKERS B ter- minals on the rear panel. A + B — Activates speakers connected to the SPEAKERS A and B terminals simultaneously. 3) LOUDNESS switch ON — Bass notes are boosted at low listening levels. This precisely offsets the characteristics of human hearing whereby we are less sensitivity to bass notes at very low listening levels. OFF — The low-level bass boost is removed and the VOLUME control provides flat response at all settings. 4) DC COUPLED switch Switch ON to obtain DC (direct) coupling through all amplifier circuits from the Tape and Aux inputs to the speaker terminals. A single coupling capacitor is inserted into the chain for Phono operation only. This provides a totally flat response for low frequency tones. The DC equalizer and DC power amplifier chains are in use for Phono operation, but the input circuits are AC coupled. (Magnetic phono cartridges do not respond to DC or static values). With the switch set to OFF, a single coupling capacitor 1s in- serted into the Tape and Aux inputs. This capacitor is also put into the Phono chain for a total of two capacitors. When DC COUPLED is turned OFF, frequencies below 18 Hz are attenuated at the rate of 6 dB per octave. This provides filtering of subsonic signals and is useful in reducing turn- table rumble or the effects of warped records.

Unlike conventional VU meters these power meters respond instaneously to rapid changes in music level and follow andante and crescendo passages to provide a true indication of the effective power your speakers are handling at all times. A logarithmic compres- sion circuit permits a wide range of readings, from 0.01 W to 160 W without the need of range switching. The meters are calibrated for an 8-ohm load. If 4-ohm speakers are used, multiply the reading by 2; for 16-ohm speakers, divide the reading by 2. 7 INDICATOR lamps Indicators marked AM, FM, PHONO, MIC and AUX light to show the mode selected by the SELECTOR switch. SIGNAL meter This meter indicates the strength of AM or FM signals received. It is used as a tuning aid for both AM and FM tun- ing and very useful in making antenna adjustments. 9) TUNING meter This meter gives a precise indication of correct FM tuning. Maximum stereo separation and minimum distortion are ob- tained when the receiver is tuned to center the pointer on the meter scale. STEREO indicator The STEREO indicator lights while the MODE switch is set to STEREO and FM stereo broadcast is received. 0D FM 2Bus (De-emphasis) switch Selects a 2bus de-emphasis value for correct frequency response with Dolby FM broadcasis.

(y TUNING knob AM and FM stations are selected by turning this knob. 15% PHONES jack Stereo headphones are plugged into this jack. o TONE switch In the DEFEAT position the TONE controls are bypassed and a frequency response is flat. In the ON position the TONE controls are activated. i) TONE controls The BASS, MID and TREBLE controls adjust bass, mid- range and treble response. Each lever controls both left and right channels equally. Moving the levers up increases bass, mid-range and treble response, and down decreases bass, mid-range and treble response. You can select the bass and treble TURNOVER frequencies (80 Hz, 140 Hz, 250 Hz, 450 Hz or 800 Hz for bass control, 800 Hz, 1.4 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 4.5 kHz or 8 kHz for treble control) with the TURNOVER switches. Since both frequency and level can be controlled in- dependently, quite pricise adjustments are possible to suit the acoustic conditions of your listening room and speakers. 1» BALANCE control This control permits balancing of left and right channels when an imbalance exits from the sound source, or to cor- rect acoustic imbalance due to room conditions. Turn it to the left from the zero position to boost the left channel; turn It to the right of zero to raise the level of the right channel. (9 VOLUME control This control adjusts left - and right - channel volume simultaneously. Set it for the desired listening level. The scale is provided with dB graduations to indicate attenuation when maximum output level conrresponds to O dB. 250 MODE switch STEREO — This provides stereophonic reproduction from any stereo program source. The left channel is heard from the left speaker, and the right channel is heard from the right speaker. MONO — Monophonic reproduction. The leit and right channels are mixed together and heard from both speakers. 2) TAPE switches A, B SQURCE — The signal applied to the record terminals of the tape deck is heard. A PLAY — To monitor a recording In progress or to play back a tape from a tape deck connected to the TAPE A jacks. B PLAY — To monitor a recording in progress or to play back a tape from a tape deck connected to the TAPE B Jacks. A, B PLAY — Dubbing is made from a tape deck connected to the TAPE B jacks to a tape deck connected to the TAPE A jacks. The recording condition in the tape deck A is automatically monitored. Note: _ — Be sure to set both TAPE switches to "SOURCE" when not operating the tape deck(s). 2) SELECTOR switch AM — for reception of AM broadcasts. FM — for reception of FM broadcasts. PHONO — Audio from turntables connected to the PHONO input jacks. MIC — Audio from a source connected to the MIC jack is heard. AUX — Audio from a source connected to the AUX jacks Is heard. 2) MIC jack Plug a high-impedance microphone into this jack (monophonic sound only).

Adjust volume and tone controls for your perference. ABNORMAL CONDITIONS 1. If a station does not appear at the correct tuning spot on the dial, set MODE switch to “MONO”. If the station is then heard it is ex- ceptionally weak and the MODE switch must remain in “MONO” for that channel unless some effort is made in the antenna system to raise signal. 2. If the desired channel is interfered with from a very strong nearby channel, set the IF BAND selector to NARROW. 3. When the IF BAND selector is switched from WIDE to NARROW, meter deflection in- creases. This is a normal result of the change in IF circuitry. Tune the receiver once again for distortion- free reception while observing the TUNING meter. 12 KR-7050(K) Set to =. Set to STEREO. Set to SOURCE. AM RECEPTION 1. Set the SELECTOR switch to AM. 2.

Adjust volume and tone for your preference. TAPE DECKS Tape Playback 1. Set the appropriate TAPE switch (A or B) to PLAY to select output from a tape deck con- nected to the Tape A or B jacks. (The setting of the SELECTOR switch affects speaker out- put only when both TAPE switches are set to SOURCE.) 2. Operate the tape deck. 3. Adjust volume and tone for your preference. Monitoring If tape deck 1$ equipped with three heads, you can compare the sound quality of the recording in progress with that of the source material by switching the appropriate TAPE switch between SOURCE and PLAY while the recording is being made. Recording (one tape deck) 1. Set the SELECTOR switch to the desired program source. Both TAPE switches may be set to SOURCE. However, to monitor the output signal of your tape deck while the recording is in progress, set the appropriate TAPE switch to PLAY. 2. Set up your tape deck for recording and set recording levels with the controls on your tape deck. The volume, filter and tone controls on the receiver do not affect the signal applied to the tape deck for recording purposes. 3. Adjust listening level and tone at the receiver for your preference in monitorning the signal; these settings will not affect the recording. Recording (two tape decks) 1. Set the SELECTOR switch to the desired program source. 2. Recordings can now be made on both tape decks simultaneously. To monitor the recording, set the TAPE A switch to PLAY, keeping the TAPE B switch at SOURCE. It is impossible to monitor the recording in tape deck B when recording with two tape decks. 3. Recording levels should be set using the controls on the individual tape decks. Tape-To-Tape Dubbing (Duplicating) Tape-to-tape dubbing can be easily done with two tape decks. The recorded tape should be loaded on tape deck B, and a blank tape for recor- ding, on tape deck A. This is because the dubbing in the unit is available only from tape deck B to Mots: —— The setting of the SELECTOR switch does not affect this operation. Adjust record levels on the deck that is making the copy using that deck'‘s operating controls. TURNTABLES |. Set the SELECTOR switch to PHONO. 2. Operate the turntable. 3. Adjust volume and tone controls for your preference. MICROPHONES 1. Plug a high-impedance microphone into the MIC jack (monophonic microphones only). 2. Turn VOLUME all the way down and set the SELECTOR to MIC. 3. Advance VOLUME to the desired level, but keep the microphone away from the speakers to avoid “howling” due to acoustic feedback. 4. Microphone recordings may be made by following the RECORDING instructions given earlier. AUX 1. Set the SELECTOR switch to AUX. 2. Operate the component or accessory connected to the AUX jacks. 3.

Frequently Answers and Questions
How do I connect the speakers to the receiver?
Connect the speakers to the A and B terminals on the rear panel of the receiver. Make sure to observe polarity marks and connect the terminals marked + on the receiver to similarly-marked speaker terminals. Reverse speaker leads will result in loss of bass tones and poor stereo separation.
What type of antenna should I use?
The choice of antenna depends on the signal conditions in your area. If you live in or near an urban area, the indoor antenna may suffice. However, if favorite stations are weak due to obstructions, or if you live in a building made of steel-reinforced concrete, an outdoor antenna may be necessary.
How do I use the Dolby FM broadcast feature?
Connect a Dolby Noise-Reduction adaptor to the TAPE A or B jacks. Tune in a station transmitting Dolby-corrected audio. Set the appropriate TAPE switch to PLAY and press in the FM 25us button on the front panel.
What is the purpose of the LOUDNESS switch?
The LOUDNESS switch boosts bass notes at low listening levels to offset the characteristics of human hearing.
What are the AC outlets on the rear panel used for?
The AC outlets can be used to supply power to other components in the system, such as a turntable or tape deck. The SWITCHED outlet is only active when the receiver is on, while the UNSWITCHED outlets provide power even when the receiver is off.
