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.

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.

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.

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel surround format
designed to provide theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surround

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

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)

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.

Basic remote control operations for other components
DVD player operation keys (For VR-505/KRF-V5050D)
The remote control of this unit can control two groups of KENWOOD DVD players directly without using the
remote control supplied with the DVD player.
32
Group-1: DV-4900, DV-4070B, DV-2070, DV-203, DVF-9010, DVF-K7010, DVF-5010, DVF-R9030, DVF-
R7030, DVF-3530 and DV-402
Group-2: DV-4050, DV-303, DVF-R6030, DVF-K5020, DVF-5020, DVF-3020 and DVF-3030
Depending on your KENWOOD DVD model, you need to set up your receiver remote control as follows:
To set for Group-1 DVD players:
Press the numeric “1” key while pressing the “POWER” key (not the DVD Power key) on your remote
control.
To set for Group-2 DVD players:
Press the numeric “2” key while pressing the “POWER” key (not the DVD Power key) on your remote
control.
• If your DVD player is not listed in the list above, perform the set up for either Group-1 or Group-2.
When the set up is successful, then your DVD player falls into that particular group.
How to operate the DVD player with the remote control
1. Pressing the DVD Power key for more than 2 seconds turns the DVD player on or off.
2. To carry out the functions of the DVD player, first press the DVD Power key, then press each key
for each operation as explained in the DVD operation pages in the operating instructions. In this case,
the DVD operation mode is retained for 15 seconds after pressing any of those DVD operation
buttons.
(To turn the receiver operation mode within 15 seconds, press the RECEIVER key.)

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.
