PRODUCT POLICY

Kenwood's entry into the car stereo market and infusion of technology have accomplished a welcome boost in high-fidelity in automobiles. With an im- pressive array of under-dash and in-dash units, including main amplifiers graphic equalizers, synthesizer tuners, cassette decks, cassette-tuners and cassette receivers as well as speakers, Kenwood engineers have brought to car stereo a degree of audio expertise and operating finesse that has been denied to generations of drivers.

Now, one further step has been taken to make it easier for the up-coming generation of drivers to

enjoy "Stereo for Your Cars". The new KRC-411 is an in-dash cassette-receiver designed to fit in virtually any automobile without dashboard modification. Moreover, where such modifications are necessary, they will invariably be minor.

The KRC-411 naturally provides both the audio performance and operating ease that characterize all Kenwood car stereo models. Its features include computer-guided synthesized tuning, automatic station search, preset memory bank and automatic noise reduction (AN RC). On the tape side, the KRC-411 boasts metal tape capability as well as auto-reverse.

Such features and the overall professional good looks are sure to attract the keen eyes of today's value-seeking driver. To make your job easier, this manual lays it all out clearly for you, so that you will have all the facts at hand ready for when the cus- tomer starts asking questions.
