INSTRUCTION MANUAL  
KENWOOD CORPORATION  
This instruction manual is for some models. Model availability and features  
(functions) may differ depending on the country and sales area.  
About the supplied remote control  
Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several  
operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In  
order to effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a  
proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).  
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation  
modes may result in incorrect operations.

How to use this manual  
Special features  
This manual is divided into four sections, Preparations, Operations,  
Remote Control, and Additional Information.  
True home theater sound  
This receiver 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  
Preparations  
enjoy!  
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the  
receiver and prepare the surround processor.  
Dolby Digital  
Since this receiver works with all of your audio and video components,  
we will guide you in setting up your system to be as easy as possible.  
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.  
Operations  
Shows you how to operate the various functions available on the  
receiver.  
Dolby PRO LOGIC II  
Remote Control  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor  
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows  
usertoenjoytheconventionalstereoorDolbySurroundwithaconvincing

Whenlisteningtomusic, youwillbeabletoenjoytheexperienceofsheer  
STEREO surround sound.  
Additional Information  
Shows you additional information such as “In case of difficulty”  
(troubleshooting) and “Specifications”.  
DTS  
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.  
In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD  
disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround.  
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.  
DSP surround modes  
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver 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.  
DVD 6-channel input  
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver  
allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source  
material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are  
digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience  
is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound  
systems.  
CINEMA EQ  
Cinema EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any  
conditions. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when you  
switch CINEMA EQ ON during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.  
Memory back up function  
ACTIVE EQ  
The ACTIVE EQ function provides an enhanced sound balance from the  
5.1 channel speakers especially when small speakers are being used and  
it is available during the receiver’s operation.  
Please note that the following items will be deleted from the unit's  
memory if the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet for  
approximately 1 day.  
However, this feature is not available during front large speaker selection  
and DVD 6-channel playback.

receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and  
video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register  
the components you have connected.  
• Dimmer level.  
• MD/TAPE settings.  
• Listen mode setting.

the components you are connecting.  
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all  
connections are completed.

You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each  
connected component.  
Tousetheanalogaudioinputforplaybackinstead(if, forexample, you  
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO 2 input), you must set the input

INPUT SELECTOR  
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging  
or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection  
cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions  
and may damage the unit.  
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power  
consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the  
rear of this unit.  
INPUT MODE  
Analog connections  
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 each end, one red for the right channel and one white for  
the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the  
source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.

Note  
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 receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and  
Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front  
speakers.  
Surround modes  
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.  
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.

DSP mode  
DVD 6-channel mode  
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels  
and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source  
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and  
each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,  
sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.  
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  
effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television,  
andFMradio.YoumightenjoytryingtheARENA,JAZZCLUB,THEATER,

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