Chapter One: Connecting Your Devices

Welcome to the Kenwood KRF-X9995D Connection and Setup Guide. This chapter guides you through connecting your home entertainment devices to your new Kenwood audio-video receiver.

Once all your devices are connected, you can set up the PowerTouch (see Chapter Two).

Refer to the following pages for details on connecting these devices:

Speakers page␣ 4 TV page␣ 10 VCR(s) page␣ 14 CD Player, Kenwood 200-Disc Changer page␣ 16 DVD Player page␣ 18 CD-R Recorder page␣ 20 MD Recorder page␣ 22 Tape Deck(s) page␣ 22 Laser Disc Player page␣ 26 Turntable page␣ 30 Camcorder/Second VCR page␣ 31 Antennas page␣ 33

All necessary cables should be provided with your home entertainment device (not with your new receiver). If you do not have the correct cables, you may purchase these cables from any home entertainment store.

To make coaxial digital connections, be sure to use a highquality digital audio cable, not a standard audio cable.

Do not plug in the receiver or any other device to AC power until all connections have been made. Once all devices have been connected, you may plug them in and provide power.

Important:

Be sure to adhere followings. Or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of unit.

Leave a space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal or greater than, shown below.

Top panel : 50 cm Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm

Do not install your receiver where direct sunlight or high frequency fluorescent lighting can shine directly into the remote sensor. This can cause your new receiver to malfunction.

Before You Begin

This manual covers the most common and standard connections to the receiver. Because of its versatility, you may decide to connect your devices differently.

Video Connections

This receiver incorporates Kenwood's exclusive Universal Video HD, which converts between composite, S-Video and component video formats. This simplifies operation, and maintains the highest possible video quality while requiring only a single connection between the receiver and your TV. Video format conversion is performed according to the following chart:

Video input signal type Appears at these video outputs

1 Composite Video Composite

2 S-Video Composite

3 Component Video Component Video

S-Video Component Video

• Component video connections provide the best video quality; S-Video connections provide video quality that is superior to standard composite video connections. We recommend using the highest quality connection possible between the receiver and your TV.

• Since component video inputs are not downconverted to S-Video or composite video, if you want to record components connected via component video inputs you must also connect that component's S-Video or composite video outputs to the receiver.

• If you plan on using the KRF-X9995D in a Dual-Zone application (see Chapter Four), you must use the composite video connections in addition to any component video and S-Video connections for all source components. Only video sources connected to the receiver with composite video connections can be viewed in the second zone.

If several video connections are made, one of them will be selected based on the priority 3, 2, and 1.

Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until all connec-

tions have been made.

To Connect Front Speakers Only:

If you only intend to listen to stereo sound (as opposed to surround sound), you may simply connect a single pair of speakers. To do so:

Using Banana Plugs (except for U.K.):

1. Tighten the speaker wire binding posts. If you do not tighten the posts, they will not conduct sound properly to the speakers.

2. Insert the plug from the positive jack on the RIGHT

FRONT speaker into the pin jack on the positive RIGHT FRONT post. Repeat for the negative plug.

3. Repeat step 2 for the positive and negative wires on the

LEFT FRONT speaker.

Using Bare Wires:

1. Loosen the speaker wire binding posts.

2. Insert the wire from the positive jack on the RIGHT FRONT speaker into the U-shaped slot in the base of the positive RIGHT FRONT post. Lay the wire to the right of the post; that way, when you tighten the binding post, it will naturally twist the wire into the best connection. Tighten the post. Repeat for the negative wire on the RIGHT FRONT speaker as shown to the right.

3. Repeat step 2 for the positive and negative wires on the

LEFT FRONT speaker.

To Connect Front and Surround Sound Speakers:

To listen to the full surround sound that this receiver can put out, connect front speakers, center, left surround, and right surround speakers. To do so:

To reproduce more enriched bass, connect a subwoofer incorporating a power amplifier.

For the connections of the subwoofer and surround back speakers, see page 6 to 7.

Using Banana Plugs (except for U.K.):

1. Tighten the speaker wire binding posts. If you do not tighten the posts, they will not conduct sound properly to the speakers.

2. Follow the steps under “To Connect Front Speakers Only” on this page to connect the RIGHT and LEFT FRONT speakers.

3. Insert the plug from the positive jack on the CENTER speaker into the pin jack on the positive CENTER post. Repeat for the negative plug.

4. Insert the plug from the positive jack on the RIGHT

SURROUND speaker into the pin jack on the positive RIGHT SURROUND post. Repeat for the negative plug.

5. Repeat step 4 for the positive and negative wires on the

LEFT SURROUND speaker.

Using Bare Wires:

1. Loosen the speaker wire binding posts.

2. Follow the steps under “To Connect Front Speakers Only” on this page to connect the RIGHT and LEFT FRONT speakers.

3. Insert the wire from the positive jack on the CENTER speaker into the U-shaped slot in the base of the positive CENTER post as shown to the right.

Tighten the post. Repeat for the negative wire.

4. Insert the wire from the positive jack on the RIGHT SUR- ROUND speaker into the U-shaped slot on the base of the positive RIGHT SURROUND post. Tighten the post. Repeat for the negative wire.

5. Repeat step 4 for the positive and negative wires on the

LEFT SURROUND speaker.

≈

Never short circuit the + and - speaker wires. Do not switch the left and right speaker wires or swap the +

and - wires on the binding posts. The speakers must have a nominal impedance of between

6Ω and 16Ω.

Using Bare Wires

1. Loosen post

2. Insert wire

3. Tighten post

Connecting Your TV, continued

Do not plug in the receiver or devices to AC power until

you have connected all your devices. This section focuses on the connections from your TV to

the KRF-X9995D. Please refer to your TV’s instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and capabilities.

The instructions in this section show how to connect your TV as a monitor for the other video devices you connect (without using it as an audio/video source device itself). To use your TV as an audio/video source device, you must first connect it as described in this section, and also connect its audio/video output jacks as if they were cable TV tuner outputs, as described in “To Connect a Cable TV Tuner with a Composite (RCA) Video Output” on page 13.

To Connect a TV:

1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on page␣ 1. It contains important notes about the types of video connections you can make.

2. Connect a video cable from your TV’s Video IN jack to the receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack as shown to the left.

3. If your TV has the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, you can also connect it as shown on the left.

4. If your TV does not have any video input connections, you must purchase an RF modulator. The modulator will convert the video signal from the receiver to an RF signal that will work with the TV’s antenna connections.

Connect the receiver to the TV according to the RF modulator’s instruction manual.

5. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which jack you used to connect your TV. In addition, note the brand name and model number of the TV.

If you previously connected your TV directly to your VCR, you must now connect it through your new receiver.

With some devices, the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks (Y, PB/ CB, PR/CR jacks) are indicated as the R-Y, B-Y jacks. For details, refer to the operation instructions for the respective device.

What if I Want to Watch TV without Turning on the Receiver?

The connection described here sets your TV up as a monitor you can use to view media played on your other video devices (such as a VCR or DVD player). You can still watch TV without having to use the receiver.

1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on page␣ 1. It contains important notes about the types of video connections you can make.

2. Connect the audio and video cables from the cable tuner’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the receiver’s VIDEO2, VIDEO3, or VIDEO4 PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.

When the component video cables are connected, the audio and video cables of the cable TV tuner should be connected to the VIDEO3 jacks of the receiver.

3. If your cable TV tuner and TV have the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, you can also connect them as shown on the left.

4. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which jack you used to connect your tuner. In addition, note the brand name and model number of the tuner.

To Connect a Cable TV Tuner without a Composite (RCA) Video Output:

1. Connect the audio cables from the cable tuner’s Audio Out jacks to the receiver’s VIDEO2, VIDEO3, or VIDEO4 PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.

2. Leave the cable tuner’s video out (RF jack) connected directly to your VCR or TV (wherever you already have it connected).

3. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which jack you used to connect your tuner. In addition, note the brand name and model number of the tuner.

To Connect a Satellite Tuner:

1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on page␣ 1. It contains important notes about the types of video connections you can make.

2. If your satellite tuner has a digital output jack, connect a digital (optical or coaxial) cable between the satellite tuner’s digital output jack and the receiver’s VIDEO2, VIDEO3 or VIDEO4 digital input jack as shown in the figure on the left.

The illustration shows two digital connections, one for coaxial connection and one for optical connection. Your satellite tuner supports one or the other of these connection methods—do not connect both.

3. Connect the audio and video cables from the satellite tuner’s Audio and Video out jacks to the receiver’s VIDEO2, VIDEO3, or VIDEO4 PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.

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 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/PDIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.
