INSTRUCTION MANUAL  
KENWOOD CORPORATION  
This instruction manual is used to describe multiple models listed above.  
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.

Dolby Digital  
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.  
This manual is divided into four sections, Preparations, Operations,  
Remote Control, and Additional Information.  
DTS  
Preparations  
DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that  
providesfivefull-spectrumchannelsandonelow-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 Sur-  
round.  
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the  
receiver and prepare the surround processor.  
We will guide you to make setting up your system as easy as possible.  
However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video  
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.  
Operations  
Important:  
Shows you how to operate the various functions available on the receiver.  
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.  
Remote Control  
(For VR-506/517/KRF-V6050D/V5550D only)  
Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control,  
as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once  
you have registered your components with the proper setup codes, you’ll  
be able to operate both this receiver and your other AV components (TV,  
VCR, DVD player, CD player, etc.) using the remote control supplied with  
this receiver.  
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  
Additional Information  
(For VR-506/517/KRF-V6050D/V5050D only)  
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.  
Shows you additional information such as “In case of difficulty” (trouble-  
shooting) and “Specifications”.  
Memory back up function  
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 2 days.

Setting up the system  
Make connections as shown in the following pages.  
When connecting the related system components, be sure  
to also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the  
components you are connecting.  
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all  
connections are completed.

CD/DVD, VIDEO2and DVD/6chor DVD(VR-505/KRF-V5550Donly)  
inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.  
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each  
connected component.  
Theinitialfactorysettingsforaudiosignalplayback(CD/DVD,DVD/  
6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only)) and (VIDEO2) are digital  
and analog respectively.  
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you  
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the input  
mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.  
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the  
steps below.  
DTS disclaimer clause  
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format  
available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be  
decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this  
reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog  
outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited.  
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions  
should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected  
directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™  
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder  
system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or  
TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.  
P
INPUT SELECTOR  
VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks  
The receiver’s VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two different  
ways. Make the appropriate setting for the component connected to the  
jack when the receiver is turned on.  
INPUT MODE  
Use as a VIDEO 2 jack  
You can connect a video deck or the like to these jacks and perform  
video playback and recording. The initial factory setting is “VIDEO 2”.  
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,  
DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only).  
Use as a MONITOR jack  
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.  
You can connect a cassette deck or the like to these jacks and make use  
of the deck’s monitoring function during recording. Alternately, you can  
connect a graphic equalizer to these jacks to apply compensation to the  
music signal.  
Each press switches the setting as follows:  
In DTS play mode  
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)  
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)  
To use the VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks as a MONITOR jack, hold down  
the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that  
the display below appears.  
In DVD/6ch or DVD play mode  
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)  
MONITOR  
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)  
3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)(except for VR-505/KRF-V5550D)  
4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)  
In modes other than DTS or DVD play mode  
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)  
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)  
3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)

Digital input:  
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD player.  
To switch the setting back to “VIDEO 2,” once again hold down the  
MONITOR key for more than two seconds.  
Analog input:  
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,  
or record player.  
Notes  
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are  
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.  
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or  
unplugginganyconnectioncords.Plugging/unpluggingconnectioncords  
without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may  
damage the unit.  
Auto sound:  
In the auto sound mode (AUTO SOUND indicator lights), the receiver  
selects the listening mode automatically during playback to match the  
type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the speaker setting.  
The initial factory setting is auto sound on.  
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use  
the INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (manual sound).  
However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases in  
which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a Dolby  
Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening mode  
and source signal.  
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power consump-  
tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.  
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.  
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be  
produced.

Ambience effects  
This receiver is equipped with listening modes that allow  
you to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety of  
video sources.  
In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround  
modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings  
Dolby Digital  
25  
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of  
digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as  
Laserdisc or DVD software marked  
). Compared with previous  
beforehand.  
(
Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality,  
greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.  
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)programsources, evenifyouconnectonlythefrontspeakers.  
Surround modes  
DTS  
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD  
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and can not 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 only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low

Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel surround format  
designed to provide theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surround  
encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked  
). This receiver is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic  
surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available  
Dolby Surround home video software. Surround signal is monaural.

Dolby 3 Stereo  
DVD 6-channel mode  
26  
(except VR-505/KRF-V5550D)  
Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround  
speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information  
is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed  
for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve  
sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.  
Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as  
accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround  
encoded.  
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, and FM radio.

What's DSP?  
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.  
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety  
of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (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  
signal.

Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)  
29  
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 parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with  
sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between  
the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the  
sound track, even when listening at low volumes.  
1 Press the SOUND key repeatedly until NIGHTappears on the  
display.  
• This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D  
only) or VIDEO2 is selected as the source and the listen mode is set  
to “DOLBY DIGITAL.”

Resetting the Microcomputer  
39  
The microcomputer may malfunction (unit cannot be operated,  
or shows an erroneous display) if the power cord is unplugged  
while the power is ON, or due to some other external factor. If this  
happens, execute the following procedure to reset the micro-  
computer and return the unit to its normal operating condition.  
For U.S.A. and Canada  
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, then plug it  
back in while holding down the POWER key.  
For other countries  
With the power cord plugged in, turn the POWER key  
OFF. Then, while holding down the ON/STANDBY key,  
press POWER.  
• Please note that resetting the microcomputer will clear the contents  
of the memory and returns the unit to the state it was in when it left the  
factory.
