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 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.
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.
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.
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”, THEATER”, STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with
almost any kind of program source.
DVD 6-channel input
(For VR-506/517/KRF-V6050D/V5050D only)
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.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
(Except for VR-505/KRF-V5050D)
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.
VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks
The receiver’s VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two different
ways. Make the appropriate setting for the component connected to the
jack when the receiver is turned on.
Use as a VIDEO 2 jack
You can connect a video deck or the like to these jacks and perform
video playback and recording. The initial factory setting is “VIDEO 2”.
Use as a MONITOR jack
You can connect a cassette deck or the like to these jacks and make use
of the deck’s monitoring function during recording. Alternately, you can
connect a graphic equalizer to these jacks to apply compensation to the
music signal.
To use the VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks as a MONITOR jack, hold down
the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that
the display below appears.

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 and DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only)
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 or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only)) and (VIDEO2) 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 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
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,
DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only).
2 Press 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 or DVD play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)(except for VR-505/KRF-V5550D)
4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
In modes other than DTS or DVD 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.

Surround modes
DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and can not be decoded inside
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to
DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD
or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise
can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high
power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital
output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS
Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS
Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P
DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.

What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety
of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act
of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places).
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to
create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original
signal.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital surround (as well as all the other listening
modes) from a single component, be sure to use a Dolby Digital
compatible source component. Connect the Dolby Digital compatible
source component's Dolby Digital format digital audio signal to one of
the DIGITAL INPUT jacks on the back of the receiver. Connect the
normal audio signal correctly to the respective component's AUDIO
jacks. 0!@#

DVD 6-channel playback
(VR-506/517/KRF-V6050D/V5050D)
28
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and
the receiver, you can enjoy surround sound playback.
When you try to play a disc other than Dolby Digital such as DTS CD, no
sound is produced or, noise may be heard. To avoid this situation, make
sure that you connect the component to the receiver’s DVD/6ch. INPUT
jacks through a surround processor which can decode the surround
signal you wont to listen to.
Connecting a DVD player which can decode the surround signal itself is
also acceptable.

Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)
When watching movies at night you might not be able to raise the volume
as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of
previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with
sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between
the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the
sound track, even when listening at low volumes.
1 Press the SOUND key repeatedly until “NIGHT” appears on the
display.
• This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D
only) or VIDEO2 is selected as the source and the listen mode is set
to “DOLBY DIGITAL.”
2 Use the MULTI CONTROL keys to select the ON or OFF setting.
