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 includes“TONE/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.

Handling precautions
Cautions on CD discs
Hold a CD taking care not to touch the played surface.
Always use a disc carrying the
marking.
Discs playable on the system
A disc without this marking may be unable to be played
back correctly.
This system can play back a CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CD-ROM, CD-

take out the CD and store in the case.
z Place exposed to direct sunlight.
z Place subjected to excessive humidity or dirt.
z Place exposed to direct heat from heating equipment.
„ When a CD becomes dirty
z When a disc is contaminated with fingerprints or
other stains, wipe gently in the radial direction using
a soft dry cloth.
„ Be careful against condensation
When the difference in temperatures between the
main unit and the environmental air is large, dew may
be condensed inside the main unit and may cause
malfunction of the main unit. If this happens, leave the
main unit for a few hours until its internal mechanisms
are dried up.
z Do not use an analog disk cleaner, lacquer thinner,
benzine or alcohol.
z Do not use a disc accessory (stabilizer, protective
sheet, protective ring, etc.) or lens cleaner.
Take special care against condensation when the main
unit is moved between places with a large temperature
difference or into a room with high humidity.
„ Other cautions
z Do not write letters on
a
CD using
a
pencil or
ballpoint pen.
„ When a main unit becomes dirty
z Do not use a CD if the sticker or label on it is peeled
off or bond is overflowed around the sticker or label.
When the front panel or case gets dirty, wipe with a soft
dry cloth. Do not use lacquer thinner, benzine, alcohol
or contact revitalizer for these chemicals will cause
discoloration or deformation.
