Connecting Instructions - Kenwood KT-8300 Instruction Manual

CONNECTING INSTRUCTIONS
OUTPUT
VARIABLE
These jacks connect to the stereo amplifier's TUNER or AUX
input terminals. The level of these terminals is controlled by the Out¬
put Level knob on the front panel.
FIXED
These jacks connect to the tape deck Line Input terminals. The
signal level from the output terminals cannot be controlled from the
KT-8300; this must be done with the tape deck input level controls.
DIMMER SWITCH
The Dial illumination can be dimmed if desired by setting this
ON-OFF switch to ON.
DET. OUT (DETECT OUT)
The FM detector circuit output is made available here so that this
tuner will be ready for 4-channel broadcasting developments in the
future. When FM discrete 4-channel broadcasting becomes a reality, a
simple demodulator connected here will enable you to fully enjoy this
coming development.
FM DE-EMPHASIS SWITCH
Selects 75ms (50ms) or 25ms FM DE-EMPHASIS for accurate recep¬
tion of Dolbyized FM signals. Normally, this switch should be left in
the 75ms (50ms) position. However, if the station is broadcasting the
Dolbyized signal using a 25ms pre-emphasis, put this switch in the
"25ms" position to obtain flat FM frequency response. If in doubt,
call the station.
Note:
For correct reception of Dolby broadcast, the Dolby Adaptor must be used without
fail.
FM MULTIPATH JACKS
This unit is provided with FM multipath jacks through which
multipath distortion can be detected in two ways. In one way these
jacks are connected with an oscilloscope and the antenna is positioned
at the optimum height and in the best direction by observing the dis¬
played wave form until distortion can be lowered to a minimum level.
In the other way the antenna is positioned in a direction in which a
deflection in the multipath meter on the front panel is reduced to a
minimum.
Note:
When handling the oscilloscope, please refer to the instruction manual attached to it.
AC VOLTAGE SELECTION
The KT-8300 operates on 110 - 120 volts AC 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 tuners are shipped. Before
operating this tuner, make sure that the position of the AC Voltage
Selector Switch matches your line voltage. If not, it must be changed
to the proper setting.
To change, first disconnect the AC power cord. Then remove the
stopper plate and slide the AC Voltage Selector Switch to the opposite
side. Then reattach the stopper plate to the other side.
Note:
Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line voltage due to improper
setting of the AC Voltage Selector Switch.
