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!¤
THX
THX mode activates proprietary THX features that help recreate the
cinematic experience in a home environment.fl
THX Surround EX
During THX Surround EX mode, film soundtracks that have been
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce
an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the
program. This channel is called Surround Back.
THX Surround EX mode activates proprietary THX features that help
recreate the cinematic experience in a home environment.fl
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX
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.
As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels
from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that
derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording.
For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks
recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby PRO LOGIC
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor
PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows
the user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a
convincing “5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features
for controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field
imaging. PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from
video software marked
from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the
experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.
II
and three-dimensional space
DTS and DTS-ES
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.
DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system
with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the
conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was
recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete
6.1 produce the discrete surround back which is completely independent
and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesized
within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology.
DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels
surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround
back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by
increasing the impression of the sound image from back.
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.
SRS Circle Surround
SRS Circle Surround II™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting
in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel,
surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surroundencoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital /DTS
multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to
audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multispeakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle
Surround II.
II
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
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.
ACTIVE EQ
ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any
condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE
EQ is turned on during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
SPEAKER EQ
SPEAKER EQ function is to adjust the receiver’s audio output
characteristics with the speakers’ characteristics which differs
depending on the size of the speakers. Especially for the music sound
source playback, the reproduced sound becomes more natural when
adjusting the output characteristics. When activating the SPEAKER EQ
function, you will be able to enjoy a more natural and dynamic sound
experience even with small size speakers.
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.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce
high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2
channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie
playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.

Setting up the system
Make connections as shown in the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be sure
to 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.
Notes
1.
Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, sound may not be produced or there will be noise inference.
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 on 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.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even
though all connections have been made properly, reset the
microcomputer referring to “In case of difficulty”.p
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be
blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
• Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the
unit.
• Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside
dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown
below.

speakers
(L,R)
Front (left and right) speakers
Place at the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers
are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker
Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and
helps recreate sound motion. Required for surround playback.
Surround (left and right) speakers
Place at the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening
position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the
listeners. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.
Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer
Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Surround back (left and right) speakers
Place the speaker directly at the rear of the listening position. The
optimum position depends mainly on the room condition.
• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers
listed above, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you
can divide those signals between the available speakers in the
speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround
reproduction from the speakers you have available.£

• Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.
• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker
cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be
unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the
speakers correctly.
Speaker impedance
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the
rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance
ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that
indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions
or damage to the speakers or receiver.

Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels
of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such
as Laserdisc or DVD software marked
previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound
quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
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 surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and
Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front
speakers.
). Compared with
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby
Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives
three surround channels from the two in the original recording. This
is achieved by using three different surround signals, Left Surround,
Right Surround, and Back Surround, each driving its own array of
speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers,
which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you
wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound,
positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real
life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie
soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain
a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for
titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated
manually.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround
left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1
channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy
Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you
connect only the front speakers.
Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low
frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep
bass performance in the other surround modes.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.
Dolby PRO LOGIC
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense
of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby
Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software
marked
feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding
of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes
programmed into this receiver are “MOVIE”, “MUSIC” and “PRO
LOGIC”. The “MOVIE” mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset
characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound
playback while the “MUSIC” mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like “Dimension”, “Center
Width” and “Panorama” modes to allow optimization of the
soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control allows the user to
gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards
the rear; the “Center Width” control allows various adjustment of the
left-center-right speakers’ balance; the “Panorama” mode extends
the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an
exciting “wrap-around” effect with side wall imaging.

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.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1
channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel
which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system.
DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two
modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produce the discrete surround back
which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces
the surround back which synthesised within the left and right surround
channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility
with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels
surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural
presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the
sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES
technology consist of information flags which will be able to control
the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the
best matched mode.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can
produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity
from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for
movie playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.
DTS has a .1 or LFE channel.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display when a signal is being
input for this channel.
SRS Circle Surround
SRS Circle Surround II™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™
resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic,
multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or
conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy
listening to Dolby Digital/DTS multi-channel sound with your multispeakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and
Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new
type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.
The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for
multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places
the listener “inside” music performances, and dramatically improves
both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material.
The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus™ and
TruBass™. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from the
speaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, rich
bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.

LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep

THX
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with
similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then
transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not
changed for playback in a small home theatre environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home,
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. Activate THX
whenever watching a movie that was intended for the playback in a
Cinema. On this product, when the THX indicator is on, the following
THX features are automatically added in movie playback modes (e.g.
Dolby Digital+THX, DTS+THX, THX Surround EX, etc):
Re-equalization (Re-EQ)
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and
harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because
film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie
theatres using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization
restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in
a small home environment.
Timbre Matching
The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the
direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there
is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all
around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located to
the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the
information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely
match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front
speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and
surround speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create
an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre
there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround
speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker
as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive
Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel's time and
phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This
expands the listening position and creates - with only two speakers
- the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre.

Before any home theatre component can be THX Select certified, it
must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous series
of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the
THX Select logo. Hundreds of parameters in both the digital and
analog domain are tested and required to meet very specific high
quality standards which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre
products you purchase will give you superb performance for many
years to come. THX Select requirements cover every aspect of the
product including pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and
operation.
THX Surround EX mode
THX Surround EX-Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of
Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theatre, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra
channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This
channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in
addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right,
surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional
channel provides the opportunity for more
detailed imaging behind the listener and bring more depth, spacious
ambience and sound localization than ever before.
Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology, when released into the home consumer market may
exhibit a Dolby Digital Surround EX logo on the packaging. A list of
movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web
site at http://www.dolby.com
Only receiver and controller product bearing the THX Surround EX
logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this
new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode during
the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround
EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround
Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very
pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the taste of the
individual listener.
DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall
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 ARENA, JAZZ CLUB,
THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a
concert or sporting event!
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.
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels
and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and
each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,
sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
The indication “LFE” appears in the display during DVD 6-channel
mode selection.

Basic remote control operations for other components
Checking the codes
If you have setup the remote control using the procedures described in
“Searching for your codes”, you may need to find out which four-digit
code is operating your equipment:
For example, to find out which code is operating your TV:
Press the TV key once. Next, press and hold the LEARN key for
1
3 seconds until the IR indicator blinks twice, then release the
LEARN key.
2
Press the numeric key to enter "9 - 9 - 0".
• The IR indicator will illuminate twice as confirmation.
3
To view the code for the first digit, press “1” once.
Counts the number of times the IR indicator blinks (e.g.
blinks=3) and write down that number.
• If a code digit is “0”, the IR indicator will not illuminate.
4
Repeat step 3 three more times for the remaining digits. Use
“2” for the second digit, “3” for the third digit, and “4” for the
fourth digit.
5
To check the codes of your other components, repeat steps
1
through 4, but substitute the appropriate key (i.e. DVD/
6CH, CD/DVD, VIDEO1, VIDEO2, VIDEO3, MD/TAPE, TV, AV
AUX, PHONO) for the component you are checking.
• As suggested earlier on, write down each of the four-digit code.
• PHONO key has to be re-assigned to another key before a setup
code can be programmed.
4
To re-assign other device keys, repeat steps 1 through 3 by
substituting the key sequence from the below chart for the
most popular components:
To re-assign key
Sequence Perform
TV as 2nd VIDEO1 keyLearn - 9 - 9 - 2 VIDEO1 - TV
TV as 2nd VIDEO2 keyLearn - 9 - 9 - 2 VIDEO2 - TV
TV as 2nd CD/DVD keyLearn - 9 - 9 - 2 CD/DVD - TV
TV as 2nd TV keyLearn - 9 - 9 - 2 TV - TV
VIDEO1 as 2nd TV keyLearn - 9 - 9 - 2 TV - VIDEO1
VIDEO1 as 2nd VIDEO2 key Learn - 9 - 9 - 2 VIDEO2 - VIDEO1
VIDEO1 as 2nd CD/DVD key Learn - 9 - 9 - 2 CD/DVD - VIDEO1
VIDEO1 as 2nd VIDEO1 key Learn - 9 - 9 - 2 VIDEO1 - VIDEO1
To clear the re-assignment and reset the remote control to its
5
original operation mode:
1 Press and hold the LEARN key for 3 seconds until the IR
indicator blinks twice, then release the LEARN key.
2 Press the numeric key to enter "9 - 9 - 2".
3 Press VIDEO2 key twice.
• When a re-assignment is done, the IR indicator will blink twice to
confirm your choice. At that time, you will need to program the
remote control in order to control the new component.
• If an invalid key sequence is entered, the IR indicator will blink
once and return to normal operation.
• When in Tuner mode, re-assignment is not available.
Operating other components
Re-assigning device keys
The remote control can be setup to control second TV or VCR, or any
combination of nine home entertainment components.
For example, to control the operation of two different VCR using the
remote control, the user need to re-assign the unused VIDEO2 key to
operate the second VCR(VIDEO1) as follows:
Press and hold the LEARN key for 3 seconds until the IR
1
indicator blinks twice, then release the LEARN key.
2
Press the numeric key to enter "9 - 9 - 2".
• The IR indicator will blink twice as confirmation.
3
Press VIDEO1 key once, then press the VIDEO2 key once.
• The user now can operate VIDEO2 as a second VCR along with
VIDEO1.
• Refer to the table in the previous page for the combination of
source keys and the other components assignment.‚
This operation lets you operate the registered components.
KENWOOD audio components with system control turn on and off
automatically with the receiver via the system control connections.
