only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.
2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the
fuse in the moulded plug.
3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points
in your home or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your
dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the
fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a
possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to
the mains supply.
IMPORTANT : The wires in the mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral

Connecting and Setting Up Your New Kenwood Audio-Video Receiver
Welcome to the Connection and Setup Guide for your new
Kenwood audio-video receiver.
The KRF-X9995D offers 3 kinds of 5.1-channel digital decoding:
• Dolby Digital, for the hundreds of currently available
Dolby Digital DVDs and LaserDiscs.
• DTS, a well-established multichannel format in movie
theaters, is available for home theater on LaserDisc and
DVD.
• MPEG Multichannel, a well-established multichannel
format in movie theaters, is available for home theater
on LaserDisc and DVD.
The KRF-X9995D also offers 2 kinds of 6.1-channel digital
decoding:
• THX Surround EX technology reproduces a surround
back channel from software which has been specially
encoded with Surround EX.
• DTS-ES also creates a 6.1-channel surround environment
by adding the surround back signals. The KRF-X9995D
can handle both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 featuring recording
of all channels in the digital discrete format and DTSES Matrix 6.1 featuring matrix encoding.
In addition, the KRF-X9995D offers the following surround
features.
• DTS-NEO:6: This converts 2-channel signals into 6.1channel signals by means of a high-accuracy digital

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:

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
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.

Connecting Your Speakers, continued
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.

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.

Connecting Your Cable TV or Satellite Tuner, 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 cable or
satellite tuner to the KRF-X9995D. Please refer to your
tuner’s instructions for more detail about its connection
jacks and capabilities.
The instructions in this section show one of several possible variations on connecting your tuner. For further assistance on optional configurations, contact your cable or satellite provider.
To Connect a Cable TV Tuner with a Composite (RCA) Video Output:
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.
Note that the jack sets are linked, even though they are
not adjacent. You must connect all of the cables from
your satellite tuner to a linked jack set. For example, if
you connect the analog cables to VIDEO2 and the digital optical cable to VIDEO3, your satellite tuner will
not work correctly.
When the component video cables are connected, the
audio and video cables of the satellite tuner should be
connected to the VIDEO3 jacks of the receiver.
4. If your satellite tuner and TV have the COMPONENT
VIDEO jacks, you can also connect them as shown on the
left.
5. 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.
13
When playing Dolby Digital or DTS-encoded software in
multichannel configuration, the connected audio signal
should be the digital signal.
