KR.6340 FEATURES 1. The KR-6340 can function as a two or four channel receiver. It has a built-in RM type (regular matrix), and SQ type decoders so that it is capable of reproducing both RM and SQ encoded discs, tapes and FM broadcasts in brilliant quadraphonic sound through four speakers. The RM decoder enhances conventional stereoprograms by decoding theambience found in most stereo programs and applying it to therear speakers. This receiver can also reproduce discrete 4-channel tapes, and CD-4 discrete discs too, in conjunction with the CD-4 demodulator KCD-2 (optional) which can be simply plugged into it. 2. The KR-6340 has four amplifiers. As a 4-channel receiverthese amplifiers are made to work separately, each drivingone of the four speakers when the AMP CONTROL switch (rear panel) is set to 4CH position. Power per channel is then 15 watts into 8 ohms at 20 - 20,000 Hz. As a 2-channel receiver, the amplifiersare made to work in pairs and are capable of driving 40 watts per channel into 8ohms at 20 - 20,000 Hz, when the AMP CONTROL switch is set to 2CH. 3. The semi·complementary directly coupled power amplifiershave wideband and low distortion characteristics which ensure smooth, high fidelity amplification. 4. Tone, Balance and Volume controls are designed to permit fine adjustments of 4-channel sound to suit various program sources and listening conditions. 5. Two pairs ofspeakers connecting terminalsareavailable topermit simultaneous listening at two different places. 6. A Double Switching Demodulator (DSD) is used in the MPX section. This DSD method isused to prevent carrier leaksand ensure best sound quality. 8. This receiveris equipped with FM Detector Output jack to enable reception of FM discrete 4-channel broadcasts when this becomes a reality. Do not connect the power cord to the AC outlet, before ascertaining that the position of AC Voltage Selector Switch on the rear panel corresponds with your line voltage.
