Special features  
True home theater sound  
DSP surround modes  
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  
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.  
enjoy!  
£
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX  
DVD 6-channel input  
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. As for Dolby  
Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1  
channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three  
surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best result,  
Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with  
Dolby Digital Surround EX.  
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.  
ACTIVE EQ  
ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any  
condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE  
EQ is turned on.  
Dolby PRO LOGIC IIx and Dolby PRO LOGIC II  
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 convincing  
“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 video software  
IR (InfraRed) remote control  
In addition to the basic receiver operations, this IR remote control  
supplied can also control Kenwood DVD players directly without using  
the DVD Special features  
marked  
and three-dimensional space from music CD.  
When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer  
STEREO surround sound.  
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner  
The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several  
convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset  
up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name  
display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY  
search to let you tune stations by program type.  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx enhanced DOLBY PRO LOGICII’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.  
PTY (Program TYpe) search  
Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.  
DTS and DTS-ES  
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.  
DTS-ES (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 synthesized  
within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-  
ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround  
system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents  
a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression  
of the sound image from back.  
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.  
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.

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/6CH inputs each include jacks for digital  
audio input and analog audio input.  
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the  
steps below.  
LISTEN MODE  
INPUT MODE  
INPUT SELECTOR  
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.  
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.  
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,  
DVD/6CH.  
Analog connections  
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.  
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 at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left  
channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit,  
or are available at your local electronics retailer.  
Each press switches the setting as follows:  
In DTS play mode  
1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input)  
2 D-MANUAL (digital input)  
In CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD/6CH play mode  
1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input)  
2 D-MANUAL (digital input)  
3 6CH INPT (DVD/6CH input)  
4 ANALOG (analog input)  
Microcomputer malfunction  
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even  
though all connections have been made properly, reset the  
microcomputer by referring to “In case of difficulty”.  
º
Digital input:  
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD  
player.  
Analog input:  
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,  
or record player.  
Auto detect:  
In “F-AUTO” (full auto) mode (AUTO DETECT and DIGITAL  
indicators light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input  
signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input  
mode selection. 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. The initial  
factory setting is full auto.  
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode,  
use the INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (digital manual).  
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 digital.  
In D-MANUAL mode, if the audio reproduction stops in the middle  
due to change in the input signals etc, press the LISTEN MODE key.  
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be  
produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

Using RDS (Radio Data System)  
Radio stations can be classified into RDS (Radio Data System) stations  
and other stations. To listen to or store RDS stations in the preset  
memory see “Using RDS (Radio Data System)”.  
RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital  
data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and  
receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from  
the broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic  
display of the station name.

Dolby Digital  
DTS-ES  
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels  
of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such  
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 technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility  
with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels  
surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural  
presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the  
sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES  
technology consist of information flags which will be able to control  
the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the  
best matched mode.  
as Laserdisc or DVD software marked  
previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound  
quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.  
). Compared with  
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.  
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, surround  
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 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.  
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  
movic playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.  
DTS has a “.1” or LFE channel.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.  
£
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.  
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround  
left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1  
channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy  
Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you  
connect only the front speakers.  
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.  
Dolby Digital has a “.1” or LFE channel.  
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.

The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being

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 software  
£
marked  
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in  
DSP mode  
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding  
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs.  
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!  
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx enhanced DOLBY PRO LOGICII’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.  
What's DSP?  
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.  
The PRO LOGICIIx 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 “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 provides surrounded and exciting sound when  
you enjoy game or TV. Especially in PRO LOGICIIx “GAME” mode,  
base sound not only from Front and Center but also from Surround  
channel is added to Subwoofer. This provides even more dynamic  
surround effects.  
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  
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 indication “6CH INPUT” appears in the display when a signal is  
being input for this channel.

Midnight mode (Dolby Digital and DTS 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 heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital
