3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer. If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

True home theater sound
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 . The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals. 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.
New DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this AV CONTROL CENTER incorporates a variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like "ARENA", "JAZZ CLUB", "STADIUM", "CATHEDRAL" 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.
Graphical Remote Control unit ”GRC”
The GRC unit incorporates a large-screen LCD which displays key icons and parameters. The LCD also shows information on the operating modes of the main unit. To improve the operability, frequently used icons are located in the higher hierarchy in the LCD display and icons which are associated between each other are shown on the same screen. The GRC unit is a multi-function remote control unit which can be programmed to control AV components from other manufacturers than KENWOOD.
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner
This AV CONTROL CENTER is equipped with a RDS tuner that provides several convenient tuning functions: 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.
ONE TOUCH OPERATION
Simply pressing the play key of the CD player or cassettedeck turns the system on and starts playback.

Functions of RDS

RDS is a system which transmits useful information (digital data) for FM broadcasts together 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.
Functions made possible with RDS
PTY (Program Type Identification) Search :
The tuner automatically searches for a station which is currently broadcasting a specified program type (genre).
EON (Enhanced Other Network) reservation
By selecting one of the three kinds of programme previously, the tuner switches automatically to a station broadcasting that kind of program whenever it starts broadcasting. When the broadcasting completes, the tuner returns automatically to the originally-re­ceived station.
PS (Program Service Name) Display : See figure 1 below.
When an RDS broadcast is received, the station name is automati­cally displayed.
RT (Radio Text) display :See figure 3 below.
Some of the RDS stations also transmit text data. When the RT display is selected with the RT key, the broadcast text is scrolled on the display.
AUTO MEMORY
This function automatically selects the stations providing RDS and FM broadcasting and stores them in the preset memory (up to 40 stations can be preset).
The RDS indicator lights up when an RDS broadcast (signal) is received.

This AV CONTROL CENTER incorporates 4 different sound modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. The Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound let you enjoy theater-like surround effects when
34
you play Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Surround program sources (like Laserdiscs and DVDs). Dolby 3 Stereo creates a panoramic frontal sound field. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes let you create a variety of different sonic environments from almost any type of program source. To obtain the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete "Setup for surround play" before using the surround modes.

Sound modes

Dolby Digital (AC-3)
The Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital (AC-3) program sources (such as Laserdisc software marked with previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Note
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 (AC-3) surround sound, this AV CONTROL CENTER lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (AC-3) (and Dolby Pro Logic) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel surround format designed to provide theater-like sur­round sound from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked
). This AV CONTROL CENTER is
equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Surround home video software.

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode the surround information is redirected to the front left and right speakers.

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an arena, jazz club, or stadium 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 STADIUM or ARENA mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event! The WALL parameter lets you adjust the “brightness” of the sonic environment according to your preference. The ROOM SIZE parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic environment according to your preference. The EFFECT level lets you adjust the “presence” of the sonic environment according to your preference.

It is recommended that the surround speakers are installed straight to the left and right of the listening position or slightly behind, at a height of about 1 meter higher than the listener’s ears.
What is DSP?
The DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. In the DSP presence mode, the reverberation components (elements of sound echoed in

Surround speakers
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, ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.
