Information on Disposal of Old Electrical  
and Electronic Equipment (applicable for  
EU countries that have adopted separate  
waste collection systems)  
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or  
cable system is grounded so as to provide some  
protection against voltage surges and built-up  
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical  
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with  
regard 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 electrode.  
Products with the symbol (crossed-  
out wheeled bin) cannot be  
disposed as household waste.  
Old electrical and electronic  
equipment should be recycled at  
a facility capable of handling these  
items and their waste byproducts.  
Contact your local authority for details in  
locating a recycle facility nearest to you.  
Proper recycling and waste disposal will  
help conserve resources whilst preventing  
detrimental effects on our health and the  
environment.

What the R-K711 Can Do  
Wide range of recording formats  
Play Discs  
As well as music CDs, the R-K711 will also play discs containing recorded audio files (MP3/  
WMA/AAC).  
Supports a host of component types  
External Input Terminals  
As well as analog input terminals for record players or cassette decks, the R-K711 also features  
an input terminal for digital audio players.  
It even has a digital input terminal with sampling rate converters so that you can use  
components such as digital tuners.  
Create the perfect sound space for your installation setting  
Room Equalizer  
The R-K711 automatically optimizes the audio settings for your room layout and system  
location.  
You simply set up the microphone supplied with the R-K711 in the listening position and then  
start up the Room Equalizer.  
Realistic audio playback with near-original sound  
Supreme EX  
Original Kenwood audio enhancement technology that reproduces the high-bandwidth  
component in the original sound produces incredibly realistic audio that restores almost all  
the nuances of the original performance.  
This reproduces high-range bands of 20 kHz and higher from audio CD or digital input.  
It also reproduces the high-range bands lost through data compression when you play audio  
files (MP3/WMA/AAC).  
Choose your favorite audio quality  
Digital Sound Equalizer Function  
This includesTONE/TURN OVER, which you can use to select detailed audio characteristics for  
the low-, mid- and high-range bands, as well as “D-BASS” which allows you to add super-bass  
functionality.  
You can also register 3 pre-loaded “sound presets” for each setting, making it even easier to  
select your favorite sound quality.
