Kenwood DVT-505 Owners Manual

Congratulations!

The DVT-505 Home Theater System will make watching movies at home more fun than ever. To connect your speakers to the
receiver follow the instructions on this sheet. To learn how to operate your receiver please read and follow the instruction man­ual included in the DVD receiver’s box. If you’re also connecting other equipment, such as a TV, VCR, or other source compo­nent, use the the other side of this Quick-Start Guide in combination with the manuals that came with those components.

Placing Your Speakers

Place the speakers as shown in the diagram
to the right. While you’re setting the speak­ers up, keep these points in mind:

• If the subwoofer causes discoloration of
the TV picture, move it away from the
TV until the discoloration disappears.

• You can hang the surround speakers on
the wall using heavy-duty picture-hangers.

• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall
yields more deep bass output than plac­ing it away from a wall. Placing the sub­woofer in a corner yields the deepest
bass output overall.

Connecting Your Speakers

Important: Do not plug the DVD receiv­er’s power cord into an AC outlet until
you have properly connected all of the
speakers.

Connect the speakers as shown in the main diagram. To make connecting the speakers easier, we have color-coded the speak­er connectors and the terminals on the receiver and speakers.

Balancing the Speakers

Your DVT-505 DVD receiver comes with the speaker volume and distance set­tings pre-balanced. If you have positioned the speakers as shown in the diagram
your system will create a spacious surround sound environment right out of the
box with no further adjustment required.

If your room is arranged differently than shown in the diagram, or if you simply
want to fine-tune your system’s performance, you can easily change the vol­umes of the individual speakers to get a better balance:

1. Select the speaker you want to adjust with the F, C, R, and SW buttons:

F = Each press cycles between Left Front and Right Front

C = Center

R = Each press cycles between Left Surround and Right Surround

SW = Subwoofer

The display will show the selected speaker and its relative volume level.

2. Use the

TRIM/MULTI-CONTROL buttons to adjust the selected speaker’s volume.

• Do not be concerned with the volume level readout on the display while
you’re doing the adjusting—this is for reference purposes only. However,
once you’ve balanced all the speakers you should write down each speak­er’s volume level setting for reference:

For more detailed information about speaker adjustments, see the DVD receiver
instruction manual.
