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 unit to control other KENWOOD DVD players.

Setting up the system  
Make connections as shown in the following pages.  
When connecting the related system components, be sure  
to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the  
components you are connecting.  
Input mode settings  
CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 and DVD/6CH inputs each include jacks  
for digital audio input and analog audio input.  
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for CD/DVD,  
DVD/6CH, VIDEO 2 and VIDEO 3 are FULL AUTO.  
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the  
steps below.  
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all  
connections are completed.  
Notes  
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are  
imperfect, sound may not be produced or there will be noise inference.  
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.  
INPUT MODE  
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 Selector keys  
LISTEN 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 on 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.  
1 Use the Input Selector keys to select CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3  
or DVD/6CH.  
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.  
Each press switches the setting as follows:  
Microcomputer malfunction  
In DTS play mode  
1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input)  
2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)  
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even  
though all connections have been made properly, reset the  
microcomputer referring to “In case of difficulty”.  
In CD/DVD, VIDEO 2, VIDEO 3 or DVD/6CH play mode  
1 FULL AUTO (digital input, analog input)  
2 DIGITAL MANUAL (digital input)  
3 6CH INPUT (DVD/6CH input only)  
4 ANALOG (analog input)

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.

In FULL AUTO mode ("AUTO DETECT" indicator lights up), the  
receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically.

Subwoofer  
Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the  
listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center

Dolby Digital  
DTS  
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1  
channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program  
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 de-  
scribed 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.  
sources (such as Laserdisc or DVD software marked  
).  
Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides  
even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved  
dynamic range.  
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, sur-  
round 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 Sur-  
round 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.  
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.  
DTS-ES  
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 the surround back which synthesised  
within the left and right surround channels using matrix technol-  
ogy. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1  
channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an addi-  
tional surround back presents a more natural presence and sur-  
round effects by increasing the impression of the sound image  
from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES technol-  
ogy consist of information flags which will be able to control the  
Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the  
best matched mode.  
Although Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low  
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve  
deep bass performance in the other surround modes.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new  
sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from  
Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc  
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.  
software marked  
). This is achieved with an intelli-  
gent, built-in feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding  
and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.  
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 96/24  
DTS 96/24 made it possible to achieve a wide frequency range of  
over 40 kHz by increasing the sampling frequency to 96 or 88.2  
kHz. Moreover, DTS 96/24’s ability of 24 bit resolution offers the  
same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.  
DTS 96/24 is, as with conventional DTS Surround, compatible with  
multi-channels. Therefore, sources recorded using DTS 96/24  
technologies can be played in high sampling frequency, multi-  
channel audio with ordinary DVDs and CDs.  
The Pro Logic IIx modes programmed into this model are “MOVIE”,  
“MUSIC” and “GAME”. The Pro Logic II modes programmed into  
this model are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC”, “GAME” and “PRO LOGIC”.  
The “MOVIE” mode has preset characteristics to produce a  
calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the “MU-  
SIC” mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three  
optional controls, like “Dimension”, “Center Width” and “Pan-  
orama” 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 adjustment of the left-  
center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panorama” mode extends  
the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an  
exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.  
DTS has a “.1” or “LFE” channel.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.  
Note  
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 ever more  
dynamic surround effects.  
LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate  
non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic  
deep bass sound effects.

Surround play  
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall  
to almost any type of program source. These modes are particu-  
larly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD,  
television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ  
CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you  
watch a concert or sporting event!  
The DTS compatible models can reproduce a CD, DVD, or LD carrying the  
DTS mark.  
Dolby Digital can be used when playing DVD or LD software bearing the  
mark and Dolby Digital format digital broadcasts (etc.). Dolby  
Pro Logic can be used when playing video, DVD, or LD software bearing  
the  
mark.  
What's DSP mode?  
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.  
STEREO  
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a  
variety of different factors. One of the most important is rever-  
beration (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.
