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 enjoyl - JJ,,
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
The DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format. Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 & Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from video software marked □Dl”*gvsuHBou№| The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-ln directivity enhancer circuit to control the Left, 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”, "STADIUM", "CHURCH" and "THEATER", to add the "presence" associated with an arena, jazz club or stadium (etc.) 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 and OSD 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. ~13£

Dual IR emitters

This remote control has two IR 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. — jj/j'

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

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.

Easy surround setup and operation with OSD (On Screen Display)

This function takes advantage of your monitor TV to simplify the surround setup procedures so you can quickly and easily match the surround processing to your speaker system, and your listening environment. You can also use OSD during playback to customize the DSP surround modes, etc. -Q£

RDS (Radio Data System) tuner

The receiver is equipped with a 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. - jY

On screen Radio Text

Although most RDS compatible tuners and receiver's can display the name of the current broadcast station, this receiver goes one step further by allowing you to display the station name, as well as any other text messages broadcast from the current station. In large easy to read characters on the screen of your monitor TV. You can even display radio text from an
RDS station while enjoying a different source component! ' -j£

PTY (Program TYpej search

Lets you tune stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.

TP (Traffic Program) search

The TP function lets you search for programs broadcasting traffic information with the touch of a single button.

New TRAITR transistor adopted in the final stage

A new TRAITR transistor which features superior temperature tracking characteristics 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.

FM indoor antenna

The supplied indoor antenna is for temporary use only. For stable signal reception we recommend using an outdoor antenna.
Disconnect the indoor antenna when you connect one outdoors.

FM outdoor antenna

Lead the 75Q coaxial cable connected to the FM outdoor antenna into the room and connect it to the FM 75i2 terminal.

FM DE-EMPHASIS/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 the area 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

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 ISL16] system control mode. Be sure to use the [XS8] system control mode when making system connections with equipment that is not ISL16I compatible.
• Some MD players are not system control compatible. You cannot make system control connections to this kind of equipment.
[SL16I equipment cannot be combined with IXR], |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. , I
Do not connect system control cords to any components other than those specified by KENWOOD. It may cause a ntalfunction and damage your equipment.

Be sure to set one of the SPEAKERS keys (either A or B) to the ON position when using the PRE OUT jacks.
Preparing the remote control

Loading the batteries

O Remove the cover.
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
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.
Q insert the batteries.
' Insert four AAA-size (LR03) batteries as indicated by the polarity markings.

Operating distance

This remote control has two IR 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 near­field operation even when the remote control is not pointed directly at the respective component.
