Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call to the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-22 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particu-
lar, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to
the grounding system of the building, as close to the point
of cable entry as practical.

For other countries
Important!
Units shipped to countries other than the above countries are
equipped with an AC voltage selector switch on the rear
panel. Refer to the following paragraph for the proper setting
of this switch.
AC voltage selection
This unit operates on 110-120 or 220-240 volts AC. The AC
voltage selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage
that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Before
connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that
the setting position of this switch matches your line voltage.
If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the
following directions.
Note:
————________
Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line
voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector
switch.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions
before Operating this unit. For best results, follow all
warnings placed on the unit and adhere to the operating
and use instructions. These safety and operating instruc-
tions should be retained for future reference.
1. Power sources - The unit should be connected to a
power supply only of the type described in the
operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
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, pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
unit.
Never pull or
stretch the cord.
3. Grounding or polarization — The precautions should
be taken so that the grounding or polarization means
of this unit is not defeated.
4. Ventilation — 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 10 cm
away from the walls.
Do not use the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings.
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.
4 «KR-V7010 (En)
6. Temperature — The unit may not function properly if
9.
10.
used at extremely low, or freezing temperatures. The
ideal ambient temperature is above + 5°C (41°F).
. Heat — The unit should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other units (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
. Electric shock — Care should be taken so that object
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.
Enclosure removal - Never remove the enclosure. If
the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious
electric shock might occur.
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.
The maximum capacities indicated for the AC outlets
on the rear panel of this unit are as follows.
SWITCHED outlet : 100 W (For Europe).
: 200 W (Others).

A\ Caution: Read this page carefully to keep your safety.

Magnetic fields — Keep the units away from sources
of magnetic fields such as TV sets, speaker systems,
radios, motorized toys or magnetized objects.
Cleaning — Do not use volatile solvents such as alco-
hol. paint thinner, gasoline, benzine, etc. to clean the
cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.
Carts and stands - An appliance and cart combina-
tion should be moved with care. Quick stops, exces-
sive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appli-
ance and cart combination to overturn.

. Servicing — The user should not attempt to service
the unit beyond that described in the operating
instructions. All other servicing should be referred to
qualified service personnel.
Outdoor antenna grounding -— If an outside antenna
is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/-
NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with re-
spect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-
trode. See Figure.

WARNING
Particular
attention
must
be
given
to
making
good
electrical
contact
at
the
receiver
output
and
speaker
terminals.
Poor
or
loose
connections
can
cause
sparking
or
burning
at
the
terminals
because
of
the
very
high
power
that
the
receiver
can
deliver.
Follow
these
steps
carefully.
@ Connecting the front speakers
Connect speakers rated at 4 ohm or more to the SPEAK-
ERS terminals.
1. Connect the left speaker to the L speaker terminals on
the rear of the receiver and the right speaker to the R
terminals.
2. Connect each cable as shown in the illustration, taking
care that the wires do not make contact with other
terminals.
Notes:
1. Take care so as not to short-the positive (+) and negative (—)
speaker cords.
2. If the left and right speakers, or positive and negative cables,
are connected the wrong way, the reproduced sound may be
unclear, with ambiguous location of the musical instruments
etc. To avoid this, pay attention to the left and right and
positive and negative indications when connecting the speak-
ers.
@ Setting the speaker IMPEDANCE SELEC-
TOR
When connecting one pair of speakers to the SPEAKERS
A or B terminals, set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR accord-
ing to the speaker impedance.
When two pairs of speakers are connected to both the A
and B terminals, match the speaker impedance selector to
the speakers with the lowest impedance.
Notes:
1. During speaker system connection and operation of the
speaker IMPEDANCE SELECTOR, set the POWER switch to
OFF.
2. Check that the connected lead wires of the speaker systems
do not contact with other jacks or terminals.
m@ SURROUND SPEAKER terminals
(Except for Europe.)
Connect speakers having an impedance of between 8
ohms and 16 ohms, and place them to the left and right
behind the listening position.
@ AC outlets
The
AC
outlets
on
the
rear
panel
may
be
used
to
supply
power
to
other
components
in
the
system,
such
as
turntables,
tape
decks,
etc.
Never
connect
equipment
whose
power
consumption
exceeds
the
maximum
value
shown
at
each
outlet.
(in
Europe,
do
not
connect
a
main
amplifier
or
similar
component
to
any
of
the
AC
outlets.)
SWITCHED
outlets:
These
outlets
supply
power
only
when
the
unit
is
turned
on.
The
maximum
total
capacity
is
200
watts.
(100
W
in
Europe.)
@ Ground
For maximum safety and minimum interference connect
the GND terminal to a good earth ground if practicable. A
good earth ground is a cold water pipe or a metal stake
driven into moist earth. However, never use a gas pipe for
this purpose.

compromise is found between listening results and ap-
pearance.

® To minimize auto-ignition noise, locate the antenna as
far from heavy traffic as possible.
® Keep the feeder or coaxial calbe as short as possible.
Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.
®@ The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet)
from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.
