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! ∞

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.

Dolby PRO LOGIC II

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. Dolby PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video software 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.

Dolby 3 Stereo

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

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.

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.

Before applying the power

5

Multi channel music (SRS Circle Surround

)

SRS Circle surround enables you to listen to multi channel sound from the

stereo source. We assume you have already enjoyed listening to Dolby

digital sound/DTS multi channel sound with your multi speakers. Now,

this time try listening to the stereo source (ex. Audio CD) using your multi

speakers. You may discover a new type of “stereo” sound through SRS

Circle Surround.

DSP surround modes

Preparation

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

 

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.

 

CINEMA EQ.

 

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.

 

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control

 

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.

Setting up the system

Make connections as shown in the following pages. When connecting the related system components, be sure to also 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.

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.

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, VIDEO3 and DVD/6ch 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) and (VIDEO2, VIDEO3) 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 or VIDEO3 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

1Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3 or DVD/6ch.

2Press the INPUT MODE key.

Each press switches the setting as follows:

In DTS play mode

1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)

2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)

In DVD/6ch play mode

1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)

2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)

3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)

4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)

In modes other than DTS or DVD/6ch play mode

1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)

2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)

3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)

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 sound:

In the auto sound mode (AUTO SOUND indicator lights), the receiver selects the 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 auto sound on.

To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use the INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (manual sound). 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 signal.

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

In order to take advantage of the system control operations, the components must be connected to the correct jacks. To use a CD player it must be connected to the CD jacks. To use a cassette deck (or MD recorder) it must be connected to the MD/TAPE jacks. When using more than one CD player (etc.) only the one connected to the specified jacks may be connected for system control.

Some CD players and cassette decks are not compatible with the [SL16] system control mode. Do not make system connections with equipment that is not [SL16] compatible.

Some MD players are not system control compatible. You cannot make system control connections to this kind of equipment.

Notes

1.[SL16] equipment cannot be combined with [XR], [XS], and [XS8] equipment for system operations. If your equipment consists of this kind of combination, please do not connect any system control cords. Even without system control cords, normal operations can be carried out without effecting performance.

2.Do not connect system control cords to any components other than those specified by KENWOOD. It may cause a malfunction and damage your equipment.

3.Be sure the system control plugs are inserted all the way in to the system control terminals.
