3. Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet before inserting or removing a connection cable.
4. Installation of outdoor antenna is a dangerous work. Please have your dealer or a specialized technician install it.

Analog audio 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 to be prepared separately by the user.

CAUTION

Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

• Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the unit.
• Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below.

Top panel : 10 cm (3-15/16")

Side panel : 10 cm (3-15/16")

Back panel : 10 cm (3-15/16")

• Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface. Otherwise, absorption of dust may cause a fire hazard.

CAUTION

The power in this equipment will not be completely cut off from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off.

Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Input mode settings

DVD,VIDEO and GAME (FRONT AUX) inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.

The initial factory settings for audio signal playback for DVD,VIDEO and GAME (FRONT AUX) are full auto.

After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.

Use the INPUT SELECTOR key (or input selector keys) to select DVD,VIDEO or GAME (FRONT AUX).
Press the INPUT MODE key.

("AUTO DETECT", "DIGITAL" indicator goes off)
* Can not be selected for DTS playback.

Auto detect:

In "F-AUTO (FULL AUTO)" mode ("AUTO DETECT" indicator light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode automatically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS) and the speaker setting. -30 The "DIGITAL" indicator lights up when a digital signal is detected. The "DIGITAL" indicator is extinguished when no digital signal is detected.

Fixed to digital input:

Select this mode if you want to keep the decoding condition (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc.) in the current listen mode.

When "D-MANUAL (DIGITAL MANUAL)" mode is selected, the set listen modes may be changed automatically depending on the input signal. -30

Fixed to analog input:

Select this setting to play analog signals from a VCR, etc.

If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

Connecting a DVD player

If you have connected a DVD player to the receiver with digital connection, be sure to read the "Input mode settings" section carefully.

DIGITAL OUT (AUDIO)
(Coaxial cord)

• Digital audio connections are required when playing multi-channel signals such as the Dolby Digital and DTS signals.
  To play the DVD player connected in this page, select the "DVD" input selector.

Connecting video components, audio components

Digital connections

The digital in jacks can accept DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM signals. Connect components capable of outputting DTS, Dolby Digital or PCM (CD) digital signals.

If you have connected components with the digital audio output to the receiver with digital connection, be sure to read the "Input mode settings" section carefully.

Connect the video signal and analog audio signals to theVIDEOjacks.

(See "Connecting video components, audio components".)

DTS disclaimer clause

When playing DTS-encoded discs, excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs of the CD or DVD player. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, this unit must be connected to the digital output of the CD or DVD player.

Connecting the speakers

CAUTION

Make sure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the AC wall outlet before proceeding to speaker cord connections. If the conductor wires on the extremity of speaker cord are untwisted, there is a risk of short-circuiting. Be sure to twist them well before connecting the speaker cord.

For the U.S.A., Canada, Europe and Australia

Whether each speaker is connected properly can be confirmed by outputting the test tone and checking if each speaker channel outputs audio. For details, see "Speaker settings" (Step ② Adjust the speaker volume level).

Except for the U.S.A., Canada, Europe and Australia

Connecting the speaker terminals

Strip coating.

Twist

Push the lever.

Insert the cord.

4 Return the lever.

• Never short circuit the + and - speaker cords.
• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers correctly.

Speaker impedance

After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver.

Speaker placement

Front speakers: Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.
Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback.
Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.
Subwoofer: Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)
Surround back speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind the listening position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers.
- Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available.

PRE OUT jacks connections

The receiver has additional PRE OUT jacks. Note that the output from the PRE OUT jacks needs to be connected to an external power amplifier. If you want to connect surround back speakers to these jacks, be always sure to connect two surround back speakers for the left and right.

• Connecting a speaker cord directly to a PRE OUT jack will not produce any sound from the speaker.

Connecting to the GAME/FRONT AUX jacks

If you use a component that you do not usually connect to the receiver, such as a portable video camera, connect it to the GAME/FRONT AUX jacks on the front panel of the receiver. These jacks are particularly convenient when dubbing audio/video from a portable video camera.

• The DIGITAL IN (OPTICAL) jack in the GAME/ FRONT AUX jack section can be used for connection of digital audio input. This is convenient for playing a video game through the receiver. -20

Connecting the antennas

The broadcast reception cannot be made unless the antennas are connected. Connect the antennas correctly as instructed below.

In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings beforehand. -16

Surround modes

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, Left Surround, Right Surround, and Back Surround, 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.

Note

For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround 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.

This model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the Front Speakers. However, in order to enjoy the benefit of true 6.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, KENWOOD recommends that you connect a full set of speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources.

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 IIx modes programmed into this receiver are "MOVIE", "MUSIC" and "GAME". The "MOVIE" mode of the PRO LOGIC IIx has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the "MUSIC" mode has user-adjustable characteristics 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 "Panorama" mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with side wall imaging. The "GAME" mode is designed for playing video games and enhances the powerful feeling of sound.

Dolby Digital

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 [Digital]). Compared with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

This model lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the Front Speakers. However, in order to enjoy the benefit of true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, KENWOOD recommends that you connect a full set of speakers.

DTS-ES

The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents 6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround. DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theaters that includes an additional surround center channel matrixed within surround left and surround right. It's compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1 system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and steering of sound across the rear soundstage. The DTS-ES receiver will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix.

The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding options for utilizing the extra channel, in addition to processing existing 5.1 channel surround sound :

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction.

NEO:6

NEO:6 is a new technology which decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. For the best results, DTS-ES should be used with movie sound tracks recorded with DTS-ES format which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for some titles, this feature has to be activated manually.

According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.

DTS

The DTS employs a larger amount of data than Dolby Digital to play surround sound with higher quality. The DTS can be used with DVD and LaserDisc software carrying the mark. Although the number of channels is 5.1 and identical to Dolby Digital, the DTS format features lower audio compression rate in digital recording, which enables audio with more profundness and higher S/N. The wider dynamic range and better channel separation also contribute to make the surround sound more precise and larger in scale.

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.

This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.

Press the SOUND key repeatedly until the "NIGHT" indication appears.

• This can be selected only if DVD,VIDEO or GAME (FRONT AUX) is selected as the source and the listen mode is set to "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS".

Use the MULTICONTROL button (or the MULTICONTROL / keys) to select the "NIGHT ON" or "NIGHT OFF" setting.

• The adjustment item is displayed for approximately 20 seconds.
• Some DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS software may not be compatible with the Midnight mode.

Display dimmer adjustment

The dimmer function lets you select the brightness of the receiver's display. You might find this useful if you darken your room to watch movies or listen to music.

If you want to use the remote control unit, press the TUNER,VIDEO,AUX or GAME/F.AUX key on the remote to set it to the receiver control mode.
Each time you press the DIMMER key, the display's brightness changes among the three available settings. Select the brightness level you find most pleasing.

Sleep timer

The sleep timer function turns the receiver OFF (to the standby mode) automatically when the set timer period has elapsed. The sleep timer period can be set in 10-minute steps up to 90 minutes.

Press the SLEEP key repeatedly until the desired period before turning the receiver OFF (standby mode) is displayed.

Each press increments the sleep timer period by 10 minutes. 10 20 30 ....... 70 80 90 Cancel 10 20 ...

The sleep timer indicator lights up

• Pressing the SLEEP key after the sleep timer has started allows you to check the remaining time period.
• To cancel the sleep timer, turn the receiver OFF (standby mode) or press the SLEEP key repeatedly until the sleep timer indicator disappears.
