Special features  
DSP surround modes  
True home theater sound  
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this model incorporates a  
variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like “ARENA”, “JAZZ  
CLUB”, THEATER”, STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with  
almost any kind of program source.  
This model incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you  
maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode  
according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and  
enjoy!  
£
ACTIVE EQ  
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX  
ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any  
condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE  
EQ is turned on.  
The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from  
software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up  
to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and  
more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. As for Dolby  
Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1  
channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three  
surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best result,  
Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with  
Dolby Digital Surround EX.  
IR (InfraRed) remote control  
In addition to the basic receiver operations, this IR remote control  
supplied can also control KENWOOD DVD players directly without using  
the DVD Special features.  
Dolby PRO LOGIC IIx and Dolby PRO LOGIC II  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor  
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows  
user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convinc-  
ing “5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for  
controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field  
imaging. PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from  
video software marked  
and three-dimensional space  
from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the  
experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx enhanced DOLBY PRO LOGIC II’s features.  
It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channel surround sound from stereo or 5.1  
channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambience  
effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural sound.  
Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back sound from  
Surround Back speakers.  
DTS and DTS-ES  
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that  
provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)  
channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a  
(wide) dynamic range.  
DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system  
with additional Surround back channel which evolved from the conven-  
tional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded  
in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1  
produces the discrete surround back which is completely independent  
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesized  
within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-  
ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround  
system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back pre-  
sents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the  
impression of the sound image from back.  
Important:  
When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be  
output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the  
digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.  
Neo:6  
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce  
high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2  
channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for movie  
playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.

Analog connections  
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.  
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer  
stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal  
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually  
have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left  
channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit,  
or are available at your local electronics retailer.  
Each press switches the setting as follows:  
In DTS play mode  
1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input)  
2 D-MANUAL (digital input)

Dolby Digital  
DTS-ES  
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels  
of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such  
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1  
channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel  
which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system.  
DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two  
modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produces the discrete surround back  
which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces  
thesurroundbackwhichsynthesisedwithintheleftandrightsurround  
channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility  
with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels  
surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural  
presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the  
sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES  
technology consist of information flags which will be able to control  
the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the  
best matched mode.  
as Laserdisc or DVD software marked  
previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound  
quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.  
). Compared with  
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround  
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby  
Digital surround sound, this model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and  
Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front  
speakers.  
Dolby Digital EX  
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby  
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1-  
channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives  
three surround channels from the two in the original recording.  
This is achieved by using three different surround signals, surround  
left, surround right, and surround back, each driving its own array of  
speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers,  
which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you  
wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound,  
positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real  
life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie  
soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain  
a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for  
titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated  
manually.  
NEO:6  
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can  
produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity  
from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for  
movie playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.  
DTS has a “.1” or LFE channel.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.  
£
DTS  
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD  
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside  
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen  
to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD,  
LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This  
noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to  
a high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the  
digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this  
situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1  
channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a  
built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the  
digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD  
player.  
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround  
left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1  
channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this model lets you enjoy  
Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you  
connect only the front speakers.  
Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low  
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep  
bass performance in the other surround modes.  
Dolby Digital has a “.1” or LFE channel.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being

Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense  
of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby

DSP mode  
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding  
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.  
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall  
to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly  
effectivewhenusedwithstereoprogramsources, likeCD, television,  
and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB,  
THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a

What's DSP?  
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.

user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls,  
like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Panorama” modes to allow  
optimization of the soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control  
allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the  
front or towards the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various

for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.  
The “GAME” mode provides surrounded and exciting sound when  
you enjoy game or TV. Especially in PRO LOGIC IIx “GAME” mode,  
base sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround  
channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides even more dynamic  
surround effects.  
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a

(the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).  
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to  
create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original

Midnight mode (Dolby Digital and DTS mode only)  
When watching movies at night, you might not be able to raise the  
volume as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic  
range of previously specified heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital  
and DTS sound track (like scenes with sudden increases in volume) to  
minimize the difference in volume between the scenes with heavy  
sound passage and scenes with normal sound passage. This makes it  
easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.
