This provides maximum separation and minimum distortion. 12 SIGNAL meter This meter indicates signal strength for AM and FM. Maximum deflection indicates best receiving condition. KR-4070iK) 5 CONNECTING SPEAKER CONNECTION In connecting only one pair of speakers, con- nect the right speaker to [R] and the left speaker to | L| of the SPEAKERS A terminals. Should (+) or (—) of either right or left channel be reversely connected, sounds at the center section will be adversely affected by the lack of separation. To connect an additional pair of speakers, connect the right speaker to [R] and the left speaker to of the SPEAKERS B terminals. Sound cannot be heard when the SPEAK- ERS switch on the front panel is set to the A+B position and only one pair of speakers (connected to either SPEAKERS A terminals or B ones) are used. This is because À and B speaker circuits are in series and is not an indication of any trouble. When connecting the speaker leads to the speaker terminals, make sure that the bare wires at the tips of the speaker leads do not touch the adjacent terminal. It is recommended that the wires of individual speaker lead tips are soldered or they are stranded together to eliminate any possibility of short-circuits forming in the speaker connecting network. INSTRUCTIONS MD Remove insulation from lead tip. @ Strand wire. Insert the Loosen the screw wire Tighten the screw NOTE: The impedance of each speaker should be 4 ohms or more when only one pair of speakers are used or when two pairs of speakers are simultaneously used (A+B). SPEAKER TERMINALS PHASING OF THE SPEAKERS Speaker phasing can be determined in the following manner; 1. Set the SELECTOR switch to FM (MONO). 2. Adjust the VOLUME control to the desired listening level. 3. if the sound comes directly from the front, the speakers are in phase. If the sound comes from both sides and there is a noticeable loss in low frequencies, the speakers are out of phase. In this case reverse the leads on one speaker. Rett) (LEFT) 6 KR-4070(K) CONNECTING TURNTABLE CONNECTION The two shielded audio cables from your stereo turntable are normally terminated with phono plugs. Connect the left channel of the turntable to | L| of the INPUT PHONO jack and the right channel to (R! of the INPUT PHONO jack. If the turntable has a grounding wire, con- nect it to this unit's GND terminal to avoid hum. TAPE DECK CONNECTION Recording A tape deck can be connected for recording as follows: the left channel input of the tape deck to of the TAPE REC jack. the right channel input of the tape deck to | R] of the TAPE REC jack. Playback A tape deck can be connected for playback as follows: the left channel output of the tape deck to of the TAPE PLAY jack. the right channel output of the tape deck to [R: of the TAPE PLAY jack. ` DIN CONNECTOR (REC/PLAY CONNECTOR) If your tape deck is equipped with a DIN connector, connect it to the TAPE REC/PLAY connector with a DIN connecting cord. A DIN connector enables recording and playback with this single cord. NOTES: 1) Please note that the REC/PLAY connector corresponds to the TAPE REC and PLAY — the signal must be con- trolled with TAPE switch on the front panel. > 2) When a DIN cord is used for connecting to the tape deck. the PLAY and REC jacks should not be used. AUX (AUXILIARY INPUTS) High level AUX input jacks are for mis- cellaneous sources, such as extra tape decks, TV sound outputs, and other external components.

KR-4070(x) 7 CONNECTING FM ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Since FM broadcast signals travel along a straight and direct-line path, they become rather weak behind hills and buildings even in the vicinity of a transmitting station. FM signals also become weak in areas distant from a station even though there may not be any obstruction to the direct-line path of the signal. Therefore, a good FM antenna should be installed in the most effective manner for the best possible FM reception. FM Outdoor Antenna In areas at a greater distance from the transmitting station, the use of an outdoor antenna is highly recommended. It is available in various types. For reception of stations located in many directions, a non-directional type antenna will offer better results. When using a directional antenna, always orient it for the best reception of the desired station. The correct position will be indicated by maximum deflection of the SIGNAL meter on the unit. Connections should be made as indicated by figures. Keep FM antennas away from roads to avoid noises made by the ignition of car. motorcycle, etc. NOTE: Consult audio dealer for detailed information of FM outdoor antenna installation. T-type Antenna In areas close to the transmitting station, a simple T-type antenna may suffice. It should be remembered, however, that the pickup of reflections (similar to “ghosts” on TV} will result in poor stereo reception. These reflections must therefore be reduced to a minimum, either by careful orientation of the indoor T-type antenna or, if this will not eliminate them, by using a more directional outdoor type antenna. Spread the 2 arms of the antenna horizontal- ly and while listening to an FM station, position them for the best reception. The antenna can then be taped to a wall or ceiling. 8 KR-4070(K} INSTRUCTIONS Hr — DE ek Mel EEE 750 coaxial cable ANTENNA FM ou) © © © И N ANTENNA) | 3000 ——— 6 © J © © CONNECTING AM ANTENNA CONNECTION Normally, position the ferrite bar antenna for best reception while listening to an AM station as described on page 10. AM Indoor Antenna The ferrite bar antenna employed on the rear panel assures optimum AM reception. AM Qutdoor Antenna In fringe areas or in locations surrounded by steel frame buildings where satisfactory reception cannot be obtained with the ferrite bar antenna, an AM outdoor antenna should be connected to the AM terminal. GROUND It is advisable to connect the GND terminal on the rear panel to the ground by using a buried grounding rod or iron-made water pipe to reduce the noise and ensure safety. However, never use a gas pipe for this purpose. DIN-TYPE ANTENNA JACKS Units shipped to European countries are equipped with the DIN-type antenna jacks on the rear panel.

Besides. do it by holding the power plug itself. ® Disconnect the power plug from your AC outlet when it begins to thunder terrifically. Also. it is safe to disconnect the antenna feeder (or coaxial cable) from the unit if an outdoor antenna is installed. Do not touch the antenna feeder {or coaxial cable) discon- nected then. ® It is desirable to disconnect the power plug from your AC outlet when you leave your house for a long time. * * * The power cord must not be pulled strongly, nor bent forcibly, nor scratched, nor extended by connecting an extra cord. This will damage the cord and be a cause of electric shock and a fire. Do not put a heavy thing on the power cord. a * * Do not put on and near the unit what contains water (vase. etc.). Do not put in the unit the inflammable (paper, cellu- loid, etc.) and the metal (needle, hairpin, coin, etc.). * * * Never dismantle the case from the unit and touch the internal part. Never modify the internal part. Otherwise, the danger of electric shock will be in- curred. KH-40701K) 9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TAPE LOUDNESS Bs. Lil es.

Most noticeable at night on weak signal stations. Continuous high frequency whine increases at night. i | Erecting a 10-meter outdoor antenna and securing good ground conditions should reduce interference considerably. Complete elimination is difficult. Turn TV off. (Neighboring TV set may also be cause.) Impossible to eliminate from receiver side. Occurs Only During FM Reception Correction Continuous hiss or buzzing interference with broadcast. Erect outdoor FM antenna if only indoor T-type is used. An antenna with more than 5 elements is necessary if you are located at a considerable distance from the transmitting Becomes louder during stereo. station. During AM, FM or Turntable Correction No sound from LEFT and RIGHT. Sound only from one side. Check connections from receiver output to speakers. Set to appropriate volume level. Always set to SOURCE except when using tape decks. Check receiver output and speakers connections. During Record Playback Only Correction No sound from LEFT and RIGHT, or sound only from one side. Sound audible but background hum occurs. Howling noise occurs when volume is raised or bass response is increased. See that turntable output cord is firmly plugged into receiver input. Keep turntabie output cord away from AC cords. Choose cord paths which keep hum at a minimum. Twist LEFT-RIGHT turntable output cords together. Reverse turntabte AC plug connections. Connect turntable groundwire to GND terminal. Increase distance between turntabie and speakers. Choose speaker locations carefully. Remember. loose flooring induces howling.
