INSTRUCTION MANUAL

KENWOOD CORPORATION

This manual contains instructions for four models. Model availability and features (functions) may differ depending on country and sales area.

About the DTS multi-channel audio format

i The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVO software. DTS is a strictly I digital format and can not be decoded inside most CDo 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

i player, you will experience dtgital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog

I output is connected directly to a high power amplificatton system. Proper measures for playing the I

I 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 (SiP DIF, AES/ EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.

Important: Set Up the Remote Control First

To operate your audio system correctly, it is important to first set up the remote contro[

The operation modes on your remote enable control over the receiver and other components in your system, Read and understand the instructions for the remote, especially how to swttch

operation modes

DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5,1 digital audio format that provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer/ channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a twide) 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 the you connect the digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.

Do/by 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. Dotby Digital (AC-3) provides up to 5.t channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more powerful presence than

conventional Dolby Surround.

DotbyPro Logic& Dolby3 Stereo

This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from video software marked [_1 _°LaY sula_0uNo r 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 wi!l redirect the surround signal to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used,

DSP modes

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor} used for this receiver 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.

The remote control is a multi-function unit that operates Kenwood AV components as welt as those from other manufacturers. You simply enter a setup code into the remote, The remote control includes a dot matrix {64X1281 LCD screen with 18 key icons, parameters

and the status of the main unit, For ease of use, Kenwood placed the frequently used key icons on the first level of the hierarchy and grouped associated icons on the same screen.

Perfect Macro Operation (VR-2090/KRF-V8881D)

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.) The macro setup covers the AV components fro m both KE NWOOD an d other man ufacturers as well as n on-audio/ video units,

Futureset, automatic update feature (U.S,A,, U.S. Military and Canada)

This function lets you update the remote control so it can operate new components which do not appear in the setup code chart.

This function takes advantage of LCD to simplify the surround setup procedures so you can quickly and easily match the surround processing to your speaker system, and your listening environment,

This Receiver is equipped with a RDS tuner that provides several convenient tuning functions: Auto Memory, to automatically

preset up to 40 RDS statlons broadca sting different programs; station nam e display, to show you th e name of the current broadcast

station; and PT_( search to let you tune stations by program type.

In addition to the standard "A" speaker output terminals for use in your main system, this receiver also incorporates separate

"B" speaker terminals and "Room B" RCA video and stereo output jacks, This system lets you use the remote control to control

and output audio and video to "Room B" independent of "Room A,"

VR-2090iVR-20BOiKRF-V88810/KRF-V? 7710 [En!K]

Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several operation modes. These _'"_-- modes enable the remote control to perform display operations and control other audlo/video components. In order to

effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.}. Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation modes may result in incorrect operations.

The remote control unit provided with this unit can be used to control the components as a system by utilizing a com- mercially available infrared control unit or wired control

unit. By installing the IR RECEIVER and speakers in an other room,

the system in another room can be remote controlled,

Preparation

To remote control the components in your AV room asa system,

make preparations such as the operations described in "Install- ing the remote control transceiver", "Making connections to

another room (Room B)" and "Setup for multi-room operation".

To control the desired components from another room, set

the remote control unit to the Room B control mode.
