Special features

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 enjoy! -25

Dolby Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo

This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from video software marked ☐ DOLBY SURROUND .

The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals.

The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.

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.

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

(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.

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control (Except for VR-505/KRF-V5050D)

In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this 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.

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.

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.

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".

Use as a MONITOR jack

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.

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.

MONITOR SP L R SW MONITOR STEREO MONITOR

To switch the setting back to "VIDEO 2," once again hold down the MONITOR key for more than two seconds.

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 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.

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.

Input mode settings

CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only) 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.

The initial factory settings for audio signal playback (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.

INPUT SELECTOR INPUT MODE

⑦Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only).

②Press the INPUT MODE key.

Each press switches the setting as follows:

In DTS play mode

①D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
②D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)

In DVD/6ch or DVD play mode

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. All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.

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 DOLBY). Compared with previous 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) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

Center speaker Subwoofer (SW)* Front speakers (L, R) Surround speakers (L, R)

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

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.

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 DOLOY SURROUND). 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.

Center speaker Subwoofer (SW) Front speakers (L, R) Surround speakers (L, R)

Dolby 3 Stereo

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.

Center speaker Subwoofer (SW) Front speakers (L, R)

DSP mode

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, THEATER, 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 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.

DVD 6-channel mode (except VR-505/KRF-V5550D)

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.

Center speaker Subwoofer (SW)+ Front speakers (L, R) Surround speakers (L, R)

*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 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 DOLBY DIGITAL mark and DOLBY DIGITAL format digital broadcasts (etc.).

DOLBY PRO LOGIC and DOLBY 3 STEREO can be used when playing video, DVD, or LD software bearing the ☐ Dolby Surround mark.
