How to use this manual

4
This manual is divided in to four sections, Preparations, Operations, Other, and Remote Control.
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
Preparations
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.
Operations
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the receiver.
Other
Shows you additional information such as “In case of difficulty” (trouble­shooting) and “Specifications”.
Remote Control (Separate booklet)
Includes the “Quick Start Guide,” which shows you how to operate other components using the remote control, as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once you have registered your components with the proper setup codes, you’ll be able to operate both this receiver and your other AV components (TV, VCR, LD player, CD player, etc.) using the remote control supplied with this receiver.

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 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.
DVD 6-channel input
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.a
.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
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.
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
.
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 30 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.
PTY (Program TYpe) search
Lets you tune stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks) reservation
The EON function lets you monitor information on other stations so you can receive traffic or news programs as soon as they are broadcast, even they are broadcast on a station different from the one you are currently listening to. When the broadcast ends, the receiver returns to the original station. When listening to KENWOOD source components connected with system control cords, the input selector on the receiver automatically switches to the tuner when a program you desire is broadcast.

Setting up the system
SET UP
MULTI CONTROL
KRF-V8010D (En/T)
Input mode settings
The VIDEO2 and VIDEO3 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 setting is to use the digital audio signal for playback. To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 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 either VIDEO2 or
VIDEO3.
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) 3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound) 4 DVD 6ch (this appears in the display only when set)
When DVD 6ch is selected, you cannot use the SPEAKER B, BASS BOOST, MONITOR, SOURCE DIRECT, LISTEN MODE, SOUND, and SET UP keys.To use these keys, select an input mode other than DVD 6ch.
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 turntable. Also, select this setting to listen to DVD 2-channel signal in analog format.
DVD 6ch input:
The 6-channel signal sent from the DVD player is played as is.
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, etc.) 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.
DVD 6 channel input mode settings
When connecting a DVD player with 6-channel output jacks be sure to perform the following settings. Set VIDEO2 for connection to the COAXIAL jack, or VIDEO3 for connection to the OPTICAL jack of the DVD player. Note that when DVD 6ch is selected, you can only set one of either VIDEO2 or VIDEO3.
