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 ugo 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.

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 Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-iike surround sound from video software marked LXJ[
The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built in directivity enhancer circuit to eontroi the Loft, Center, Right and Surround channel
audio signals and reproduce a real sense of sound motion .
The 3 STEREO mode uses the directivity enhancer circuit to provide proper acoustic positioning and a real sense of sound
motion even when only the front and center speakers are used
New 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" and "STADIUM", to add the "presence" associated with an arena, jasz club or stadium to the original
Signal, it is compatible with almost any kind of program source.

Universal IR (infraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver operations, 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. —[Si
Dual IR emitters
Thi.s remote control ha=: two IR emitters- one to send oommands in a straight line over long distances, allowing yon to control
the receiver and your other components from farther away: and one for wide dispersion of commands in a closer proximity,
for near-field operation even when the remote control is not pointed directly at the respective component. -QB
MACRO play
The MACRO function lets you perform a series of operations automatically, like turning ON the power of the receiver and
connected components, switching the input selectors, and starting playback. (Be sure to register your components before
starting the macro set up procedure.)
FutureSet, automatic update feature (1070VR only}
This function lets you update the remote control so it can operate new components which do not appear in the setup code
list at the end of the manual. Therefore, the remote control will always be compatible. ~CSl
New TRAITR transistor adopted in the final stage
A new TRAITR transistor which features superior temperature tracking cineractei ¡sties has been adopted in the final stage
of the power amplifier block. This new TRAITR transistor combines a temperature compensation resistor with an emitter
resistor and final transistor to provide ideal temperature compensation characteristics and minimize distortion caused by
temperature variations.
How to use this manual
This manual is divided in to four sections. Preparations, Operations, Remote Control, and Other.
Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the receiver and prepare the surround processor.
We've tried to make setting up your system as easy as possible. However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.
Operations
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the receiver.
Remote Control
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the remote control
We've designed this remote control to integrate your entire audio/video system and let you operate all of your entertainment components
— your TV, VCR, LD player, CD player, etc. Remember that before you can use the remote control to operate these components, they
must be registered with a proper setup code,
Other
Includes additional information such as; a list of setup codes for registering your other components, a troubleshooting guide,
specifications, and a reference guide to the remote operations available for registered components.

Lead the 75Q coaxial cable connected to the FM outdoor antenna
into the room and connect it to the FM 75Q terminal.
FM DF-FMPHASIS/CHANNEL SPACE (Except for U S A and Canada)
The FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear
panel is set to the correct setting that prevails in the area to which
the unit is shipped. However, if the FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHAN
NEL SPACE setting is not matched to the area where the unit is
to be used: for instance, when you move from area 1 to area 2 or
vice versa, desired reception of AM / FM broadcasts is not
expected. In this case, change the FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHAN
NEL SPACE setting in accordance with thearea corresponding to
the table. The FM DE-EMPHASIS is switched over at the same
time.
•When changing the setting of the FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL
SPACE switch, first disconnect the power cord, then reset the channel
space switch, connect the power cord again, and turn the power on.

Once you finish making the system connections, be sure to register the appropriate setup code for each component.
► If you own remote controllable KENWOOD audio components that are not compatible with system control (or cannot be combined with your other
system control components), registering the setup code enables you to control those components using the remote control supplied with this
unit (without connecting system control cords). To register setup codes for your remote controllable KENWOOD audio components, see
"Registering setup codes for other components".
• 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.

1. The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due to use during operation checks.
2. Replace all four batteries with new ones when you notice a shortening of the distance from which the remote control will operate or if the
remote control blinks 5 times when you push a key. The remote control is designed to retain set up codes in memory while you change
batteries. Failure to change batteries after receiving the 5 blink battery warning signal may cause all the mernory to be lost (1060VR only).
3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction.
In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent malfunction.
Operating distance
This remote control has two IK emitters: one to send commands
in a straight line over long distances, allowing you to control the
receiver and your other components from farther away: and one
for wide dispersion of commands in a closer proximity, for near
field operation even when the remote control is not pointed
directly at the respective component.

What is delay time?
The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the
sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor,

longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears The
delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and
