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
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.
Preparations
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the
receiver and prepare the surround processor.
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
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.
Operations
video software marked
from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the
experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.
and three-dimensional space
Shows you how to operate the various functions available on the
receiver.
Remote Control
DTS
Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control,
as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once
youhaveregisteredyourcomponentswiththepropersetupcodes, 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.
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.
Additional Information
Shows you additional information such as “In case of difficulty” (trouble-
shooting) and “Specifications”.
DSP surround modes
Maintenance of the unit
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.
When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. for these agents may
cause discoloration.
DVD 6-channel input (For VR-615/KRF-V5060D only)
In regard to contact cleaner
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.
Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be
specially careful not to use contact cleaners containing oil, for they
may deform the plastic component.
CINEMA EQ
Memory back up function
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.
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.

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.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-615/KRF-V5060D
only) inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio
input.
Tousetheanalogaudioinputforplaybackinstead(if, forexample, 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.
Notes
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise
interference.
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
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,
DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-615/KRF-V5060D only).
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.
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:

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
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 Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound
quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
beforehand.
&
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.

*Optional in this mode.

* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-
directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep

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.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.

DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.
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 software
marked
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes
programmed into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO
LOGIC”. The “MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset
characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound
playback while the “MUSIC” mode has user-adjustable characteris-
tics 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 adjustment of the
left-center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panaroma” extends the
front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting
“wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

DSP mode
DVD 6-channel mode (For VR-615/KRF-V5060D only)
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. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THE-
ATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or
sporting event!

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 reverbera-
tion (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.

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
