Kenwood KVS-200 Gebrauchsanweisung

Introduction

Your Kenwood KVS speakers were

designed to meet the demands of

today’s high-quality music recordings

and ﬁlm soundtracks.

Your new speakers:

• Deliver wide dynamic range and

powerful bass response

• Feature quality-built acoustically-

optimized enclosures

• Are magnetically-shielded for use

in audio/video systems

• Were designed, engineered, and

assembled in the USA.

Installing the speakers isn’t difﬁcult,

but please read and follow all of the

instructions in this manual to get

maximum performance from your

new speakers. If you’re also

connecting other equipment, such

as a receiver, power ampliﬁer, or

pre-ampliﬁer, use this manual in

combination with the materials that

came with those components.

Unpacking

Unpack your new speakers carefully

and examine them for shipping

damage. If they are damaged or fail

to operate, notify your dealer imme-

diately. If your speakers were

shipped to you directly, notify the

shipping company without delay.

Only the person or company who

originally received the unit can ﬁle a

claim against the carrier for shipping

damage. Keep the original carton

and packing materials in case you

need to transport or ship your

speakers.

About speaker wire

We ask you to buy the wire sepa-

rately, since we don’t know how

much wire you will need. We

suggest that you buy wire that is at

least 18-gauge or thicker.

Remember, the smaller the number,

the thicker the wire, so 18-gauge

wire is thicker than 20-gauge wire.

Before you run out to buy speaker

wire, read the section on ‘Placing

the speakers’ on page 3. You’ll need

to know where your speakers will

go before you buy the speaker wire.

For your records

Record the serial number (found on

the back of the unit) on the

warranty card, and in the space

below. If you need to call your

dealer for information or service,

you’ll need the model and serial

numbers. And be sure to save your

original receipt.

Setting up your

KVS Speakers

KVS-

Please read these safety instructions

carefully. They can help prevent

electrical shock, ﬁre, and damage to

the unit.

Safety Precautions

For all units

1 Dispose of the packaging materi-

als properly. After you take the

unit out of its shipping bag,

dispose of the bag, keeping it out

of the reach of children and

animals. Be aware that the bag

could cause suffocation.

2 Protect your unit from moisture.

Don’t place your unit near

water—for example, a bathtub,

kitchen sink, laundry tub, wet

basement or near a swimming

pool.

3 Keep your unit out of extreme

hot and cold. Your unit may not

work properly if it is used at

extremely low or freezing

temperatures. Don’t place your

unit near radiators, heat registers,

stoves or other heat sources.

4 Don’t put objects or liquids into

the unit! NEVER permit children

to put anything into the unit.

5 NEVER try to open the unit or

take it apart.

6 To clean, use a clean, dry cloth.

To avoid damage, NEVER use

volatile solvents such as alcohol,

paint thinner, gasoline, benzene,

etc. to clean the cabinet. If this is

an electrically-powered unit,

unplug it before cleaning.

7 Do NOT attempt to service this

unit. You should take the unit to

qualiﬁed service personnel for

repair when:

• Objects have fallen, or liquids

have been spilled into the unit.

• The unit has been exposed to

moisture.

• The unit doesn’t appear to oper-

ate normally or exhibits a marked

change in performance.

• The unit has been dropped or

the case has been damaged.

8 To prevent distortion (and in

some cases, discoloration of TV

pictures), keep the unit away

from sources of magnetic ﬁelds,

such at TVs, radios, motorized

toys, or magnetized objects. If

the unit is magnetically-shielded

(the manual will state this), it is

not subject to these problems.

9 Do NOT place the unit on an

unstable cart, shelf, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table. if you mount

the unit, follow the instruc-

tions in the manual and, if

possible, use a mounting

bracket recom-

mended for the unit.

If you place the unit

on a moveable cart,

use caution when moving

the cart to avoid overturning it.

Safety First

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

Placing the speakers

Finding the best locations for your

speakers before you connect them

to your ampliﬁer will make routing

the wires easier.

Important

Please wait until you’ve connected

all of the cables before plugging the

ampliﬁer into the AC wall outlet

and turning it on.

• For the best stereo effect, place

the speakers 6 ft to 12 ft apart

along the same wall, with the

main listening area midway

between the 2 speakers.

• Placing the speakers in opposite

corners of a room does not

produce a stereo effect.

• Rotate each speaker slightly

toward the center of the listening

area—this can improve the

stereo effect, especially if the

speakers are more than 8 feet

apart.

• For KVS-200 speakers, place the

speakers near seated ear level. If

you place them on shelves,

putting them near the front edge

of the shelf will help minimize

reﬂections that can interfere with

the sound.

• For more bass output, place the

speakers with their backs against

a wall. The increase may be very

slight or it may be more

pronounced. If the speakers

seem to make male voices sound

unnaturally heavy, or ‘chesty’, try

moving the speakers 1 or 2 feet

away from the wall.

• Placing the speakers in corners

will provide maximum bass

output.

• Since these speakers are magnet-

ically shielded, you can place

them close to your TV without

worrying about picture discol-

oration. For best sound with

video, place the speakers

between 2 and 4 feet away from

the sides of the TV.

Preparing and

connecting the

speaker wire

For bare wire

1Strip 1/2” of the plastic cover

from the ends of the wire.

2Twist the wire to get rid of the

loose strands.

3Follow the instructions on the

next page.

For spade lugs (KVS-400 and

KVS-300)

1Loosen the plastic caps on the

speaker connectors.

2Insert the spade lugs around the

posts. If the lug is too narrow,

insert one prong through the

hole in the post, making sure that

the (+) and (-) prongs don’t

touch each other.

3Tighten the caps.

For banana or dual-banana

connectors (KVS-400 and

KVS-300)

1Tighten the plastic caps on the

speaker connectors.

2Insert the banana connectors all

the way into the holes in the

center of the caps.

Important

• Make sure your receiver or

ampliﬁer’s power cord is

unplugged from the wall outlet

before making any connec-

tions.

• Make sure you connect the

positive connections of the

speakers to the positive

connections of the receiver or

ampliﬁer, and the negative

connections of the speakers to

the negative connections of

the receiver or ampliﬁer. If

these connections are

mismatched, you’ll get poor

bass performance and weak

sound-placement characteris-

tics.

• Check to make sure that no

strands from one terminal

touch any other terminal.
