AC voltage selection
These units operates on 110-120 volts or 220-240 volts
AC. The AC voltage selector switch of the amplifier is set to
the voltage that prevails in the area to which the units was
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 ac-
cordance with the following direction.
Note:
Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line
voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector switch.

Safety precautions
Never remove the case. If the internal parts are touched
accidentally, a serious electric shock might occur.
Never touch internal
parts.
If a metal object, such as a hair pin or a needle, comes
into contact with the power socket on the rear panel, a
dangerous electric shock may result. For families with
children, never permit children to put anything,
especially metal, inside this unit.

; Y
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 ap-
pliances, such as an iron or toaster.
Never connect other
electrical appliances.
Touching the power plug when your hands are wet
may result in a serious electric shock.
aS

short-circuit.
Never touch with wet
hands.
a7
ov
Never pull or stretch
the cord.
In case of abnormal smell
If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected, immediately
turn the power OFF and pull out the power cord. Con-
tact your dealer or nearest service station.
Cleaning
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thin-
ner, gasoline, benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a
silicone cloth or a clean dry cloth.

Speakers
This unit has two pairs of speaker terminals, SPEAKERS A and
SPEAKERS B.
Connecting one speaker system
Connect speakers rated at 4 ohms or more to the SPEAKERS
A terminals.
Connecting two speaker systems
To connect an additional pair of speakers, use the B ter-
minals. !n this case, each speaker must be rated at 8 ohms or
more.
Connection with speaker cords
1. Connect the left speaker to the [LISPEAKERS terminals and
the right speaker to the [R] SPEAKERS terminals.
2. Be careful that wires do not contact adjacent terminals.
3. Be sure to connect the (+) terminal of the speaker to the
(+) terminal of the unit.
Never short the (+) and (—) terminals.
Erroneous connection of speakers may result in poor imaging
or unnatural sound.

KR-V125R/KR-V75R (U) §

If the length of the lead wire is too short, add a lead wire of an
appropriate length.
Note: i
If beat noise occurs during AM reception, remove the AM loop anten-
na from the unit.
Remove from the unit
and hang it from a wall.
Detachable
Vary the direction of
the loop antenna.
AM loop antenna setting
AM outdoor antenna
In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it
may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna. The
end of this wire should be stripped of insulation and con-
nected to the AM terminal. At this time, keep the loop anten-
na connected.
FM antennas
Your unit approaches the theoretical limit in FM sensitivity.
However, the performance of your system is determined to a
very large extent upon the signal conditions where the anten-
na 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 cur-
vature of the earth acts as a screen between transmitter and
receiver.
Consider the signal conditions in planning your installation. If
you live in or near an urban area the indoor antenna (supplied)
may serve your needs adequately. However, if favorite sta-
tions 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 instal! a good outdoor
antenna.
FM outdoor antenna
Consult with your dealer or service man about the best
method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of lead-in (feeder) wire is also important. The flat
ribbon-shaped twin lead performs well electrically, is cheaper
and is 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 signa! 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.

FM indoor antenna
Connect the T-shaped indoor antenna (supplied) to the
300 2 FM ANTENNA terminals as shown in the system con-
nections 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 com-
promise is found between listening results and appearance.
AC outlets (SWITCHED outlets)
The AC outlets on the rear panel of the unit 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.
The maximum total capacity is 200 watts.
FM DE-EMPHASIS switch
This switch has been set to the correct position for a given
market area. However, check to see that this switch is set cor-
rectly before operating your unit. An incorrect setting will
adversely affect high-frequency performance.

AM/FM CHANNEL SPACE switch
The CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear panel is set to the
correct setting that prevails in the area to which the unit is
shipped. However, if the channel space setting is not match-
ed to the area where the unit is to be used; for instance, when
you moved from area 1 to area 2 or vice versa, desired recep-
tion of AM/FM broadcasts is not expected. In this case,
change the CHANNEL SPACE setting in accordance with the
area corresponding to the table shown below.
