OWNER'S MANUAL

For greater listening pleasure. read this manual carefully to get the best performance
your DS-ZO.

Every 05-20 is carefully inspected before it leaves the factory. If the 05-20 is found
to have been damaged during shipment. please contact your nearest KENWOOD
SERVICE DEPOT.

0 Transient Load Theory. a subject of intensive research at Kenwood laboratories.

seeks to clarify the complex mechanical interface between the record disc, the
driving turntable platter and the tracing stylus. Our studies have shown that this
interface is a major source of sound deterioration. The 08-20. born of these
studies. effects a dramatic reduction in the factors that degrade phono
performance.
The conventional approach places a stabilizer at the center. over the record label.
But the addition of the 05-20 stabililes the outer edge of the disc placed on the
turntable sheet. This not only assures the correct mechanical impedance below
the stylus. but enhances the vibration resistance of the disc itself The effect.
particularly at low frequencies, is a major improvement in overall disc
performance.

a For peak performance the 05-20 should be used with the optional TS-10
CERAMIC TURNTABLE SHEET.
