Kenwood Basic M1 - Parts List

Speakers
This amplifier 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.
Although ordinary speaker cords can be connected to
the SPEAKERS A terminals, the £ drive system will
reproduce better sound with the L cables connected to
the SPEAKERS A terminals.
Speaker cords
Fig. 1 shows ordinary speaker cords available on the
market, which can be used as a Y cord.
Use these cords to make the © drive system connec-
tion.

Connection with L Cables (i drive system)
Each © cable has two red wires and two black wires.
Connect as follows: (Fig. 2)
1. The cable to be connected to the left speaker is con-
nected to the LEFT SPEAKERS A terminals and that
to be connected to the right speaker is connected to
the RIGHT SPEAKERS A terminals.
2. At the speaker end of the cable the thick and thin red
wires are twisted together and soldered. This red
pair is then connected to the (+) terminal of the
speaker. Similarly the thick and thin black wires are
twisted together and soldered. This pair connects to
the (—) terminal.
3.At the amplifier end of the cable the wires are
separated. The thick red and black wires connect to
the (+) and (—) SPEAKERS A terminals, respective-
ly. The thin red and black wires connect to the (+)
and (—) £ SENSOR terminals, respectively.
4. Connect the right and left speakers as in Step 3.

Connecting two speaker systems
To connect an additional pair of speakers, use the B ter-
minals. Each speaker to be connected must be rated at
4 ohms or more. However, when two pairs of speakers
A and B are to be driven simultaneously, be sure that
each speaker to be connected to the SPEAKERS A and
B terminals must be rated at 8 ohms or more.
Connection with ordinary speaker cords
1.Connect the left speaker to the LEFT SPEAKERS
terminals and the right speaker to the RIGHT
SPEAKERS terminals (Fig. 3).
2.Be careful that wires do not contact adjacent
terminals.

Never short the (+) and (—) terminals.
Erroneous connection of speakers may result in poor
imaging or unnatural sound.
Note:
If the SPEAKERS A terminals are connected with ordinary cords, con-
nect only inner terminals but not £ SENSOR (shaded) terminals.

INPUT jacks
Connect these jacks and the OUTPUT jacks of a contro!
amplifier with audio cables equipped with pin plugs on
each end.
Note:
To prevent possible trouble, always disconnect the power plug or
turn off the POWER switch before connecting or disconnecting the
audio cables.
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.
1. SWITCHED outlets: These outlets supply power
only when the unit is turned on. The maximum total
capacity (both outlets) is 100 watts.
2. UNSWITCHED outlet: The outlet provides power
when the unit is plugged into an active AC wall
outlet, regardiess of the setting of the POWER
switch. The maximum capacity is 400 watts.
