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
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
6 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 TVs 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 TVs Video IN jack to the receivers 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 TVs antenna connections.
Connect the receiver to the TV according to the RF modulators 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 tuners 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 tuners 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 tuners Audio Out jacks to the receivers VIDEO2, VIDEO3, or VIDEO4 PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.
2. Leave the cable tuners 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 tuners digital output jack and the receivers VIDEO2, VIDEO3 or VIDEO4 digital input jack as shown in the figure on the left.

When playing Dolby Digital or DTS-encoded software in multichannel configuration, the connected audio signal should be the digital signal.
The digital inputs of the KRF-X9995D are not compatible with an audio signal with 192 kHz sampling frequency or 96 kHz multichannel audio signal. These signals should be input to the analog or DVD/6CH. INPUT jacks.
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.

If your component has the mode select switch, set the con­nected components to the [SL16] mode.
You can connect the system control cord to either sys­tem control jack of the unit.
Do this operation after completing all connections. (En­sure that the power plug is not connected.)

Chapter Two: Setting Up PowerTouch

Your new PowerTouch controls your new receiver and can be set up to control most components attached to it. PowerTouch appears and functions a little differently from traditional remotes. It incorporates sophisticated engineer­ing and design to allow you to simply touch the screen to press buttons and operate controls. You can touch the screen with your finger or with the stylus stored at the top of the PowerTouch.
Remote Setup
Before you can set up any PowerTouch item, you need to install batteries.
The batteries that came with your new PowerTouch are
34
intended for you to use for an operation checkthey may not last as long as ordinary batteries. We recom­mend replacing them with alkaline batteries for nor­mal use.
To install the batteries:
1. Press down and back on the battery cover to remove it.
Because it can control so many different devices, it presents a separate set of controls for each device on an LCD screen. Touch an icon on the screen to access further menus or con­trols for devices.
Only devices previously identified and connected to the receiver will appear as icons on the display screen. If you are missing an icon on your display screen, make sure you have identified the device to PowerTouch. This chapter describes identifying devices to PowerTouch.

Installing the Batteries

2. Insert six AA (LR6) batteries as shown:
This chapter contains the following sections:
Installing the Batteries page 34
Calibrating the Touch Screen page 35
Selecting the Model Type page 35
Navigating PowerTouch Interface page 36
Setting Up Speakers page 37
Identifying Devices For PowerTouch Control page 40
Storing Radio Stations in Memory page 41
If you cannot see anything on the screen after replacing batteries, try to adjust the screen contrast. See 74 page of the Users’ Guide.
(for U.K. only)
If you are installing the receiver in a home entertainment closet, a simpler installation option is to use the External Infrared Receiver. For more information, see Connecting the External Infrared Receivers (for U.K. only) on page 51.
3. Close the cover.
If you use PowerTouch outside of its range (see How is PowerTouch Powered? on page 5 of the Users’ Guide) PowerTouchs display may show incorrect information.
When your batteries begin to run low, PowerTouch displays a Low Battery message. Clear the message by touching check
mark icon (
Maximize the life of your batteries by turning the Backlight off if you are not trying to use PowerTouch in the dark. For more information on the Backlight, see page 73 of the Us- ers’ Guide.
) and replace all batteries as described here.
Page 41
Chapter Two : Setting Up PowerTouch

Calibrating the Touch Screen

After you install the batteries or reset PowerTouch, you need to calibrate the touch screen. The touch screen responds to pressure from the included stylus or your finger:
If you are replacing batteries and complete the battery re­placement within 3 minutes, you do not need to calibrate the screen; calibration is stored in memory.
If the screens performance begins to change, you can recalibrate it without resetting PowerTouch by pressing
on the Setup Preference menu. For more informa­tion about accessing this menu, see Identifying Devices For PowerTouch Control on page 40.
After “Calibrating the Touch Screen, the Selecting the Model Type display appears automatically (Except for U.K.).
The model type selection is performed to let the PowerTouch recognize the type of the receiver.
Once the model type is selected, it does not have to be se­lected again even after PowerTouch is reset.
To calibrate the touch screen, use the stylus to touch the cen­ter of each of the calibration points displayed:
When you touch each calibration point, you should hear a beep and see the next point, indicating that area of the screen is now calibrated. If you do not hear a beep, touch the cali­bration point until you do.
The touch screen is sensitive to pressure, not to movement. Press firmly but gently on any touch screen element. The screen will not respond if you simply brush the stylus or your finger along the surface.

Selecting the Model Type

To set the model type:

Setting Up Speakers

Before you can begin using the receiver to control your home entertainment system, you must set up PowerTouch to op­erate your speakers effectively. There are four areas of speaker setup:
SP Selection
SP Distance
SP Level
Bass Peak Level
You can set up your speakers in the order presented here (via the Next button) or individually, selecting each option from the Surround menu.
The receiver must be on, speakers must be connected, and Speaker A on the front panel must be turned on before you can set up speakers.
Speaker Placement
An example of installation is shown here. Use this figure as a reference for installing the system ac­cording to the types of your speakers and conditions of your listening room.
C
FL FR
SW
SL SR
SBL SBR
FL/FR (Front speakers) : Place to the front left and right of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
C (Center speaker) : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound motion.
SW (Subwoofer) : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
SL/SR (Surround speakers) : Place to the direct left and
right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights, approximately 1 meter above the ears of the listen­ers.
SBL/SBR (Surround back speakers) : The SBL/SBR speak­ers are required to reproduce the 6.1-channel signals. Place them on the left and right behind the listening position and at a height slightly higher than the SL/SR speakers.
To begin setting up speakers:
1. Touch
(SETUP) on the Quick Access menu to access
the Setup menu:
2. Touch on the Setup settings.

SP Selection

1. Touch on the Setup Surround menu to open the Speaker Selection menu.
2. Kenwood provides two ways to set up your speakers:
Quick Setup: Use this method for a simplified setup where you identify whether a speaker is present and let the receiver automatically determine the appropriate speaker settings.
1 Aim PowerTouch at the receiver. If the speaker is
present, touch the speaker button until “Yes” appears in the button. (SW=subwoofer, C=center, SL=surround left, SR=surround right, SBL=surround back left and SBR=surround back right)
If you selected Yes for the subwoofer, all of the bass below 80Hz is removed from other speakers in your system and is sent to the subwoofer in all listening modes. This improves your speakers power handling and reduces overall distortion.

The front left and right buttons, the surround left and right buttons and the surround back left and right buttons are linked; if you touch one, you change the settings for both.
Off means you are not using the speaker. (Not avail- able for front speakers). If no subwoofer is connected, all bass below 80Hz is sent to front left and right speakers.
On means that you are using the speaker. (Only avail- able for subwoofer).
Select Nml (= Normal/THX) if the speaker is not ca- pable of producing clean, deep bass energy at output levels that match those produced by a typical powered subwoofer. All bass below 80Hz in that channel is re­moved from that speaker and is sent to the subwoofer (or sent to the front speakers if subwoofer is set to off) in all listening modes. Most speakers should be consid­ered Nml. If no subwoofer is connected, that signal is sent to front left and right speakers.
• Select Lrg (= Large) if the speaker is capable of pro­ducing clean, deep bass energy at output levels that match those produced by a typical powered subwoofer. All bass below 80Hz in that channel is left in that speaker in all listening modes.
The subwoofer may not output audio depending on the setups of the input signal, speakers and listen mode.
3 If you set your left and right front speakers to Lrg
and want to send bass to the subwoofer in all Listen
modes, touch
until On appears above the
button. SW Re-Mix mixes some of the bass compo- nents in the signals for all the speakers and output it to the subwoofer.
The SW Re-Mix ON/OFF is defeated when you set your front speakers to Nml.

SP Level

In this step you will use your ears to balance the volume level of all the system’s speakers except the subwoofer for your room and listening position. (To set the subwoofer level, see Set­ting the Subwoofer Level on this page.) When all the speak­ers are set at the same volume level, your system will create a more realistic, spacious surround sound environment.
It is recommended to use a SPL meter to adjust the speaker levels accurately. (See To obtain accurate output levels on this page)
When setting the speaker levels, be careful against the high-level test tone that is produced.
1. Eliminate as many external noise sources as possible.
2. Sit in the place where you and your guests are most likely to sit while watching movies or listening to music.
3. If you are not already there, touch

Setting the Subwoofer Level: Because of the way hu­mans hear, the test noise the Speaker Level menu sends through the subwoofer will not sound as loud as it re­ally is. (The Speaker Level menu subwoofer test noise is designed to be used with a sound pressure level meter for balancing.)
Because of this, you cannot use that test noise to prop­erly calibrate the level of your subwoofer by ear. To set the subwoofer level, listen to familiar music or films that have strong bass content and adjust the subwoofer level until it sounds balanced with the rest of the speak­ers.
12. Touch
to return to the Setup Surround menu.

Chapter Tree: Setting Up on the Receiver

It is possible to set up the speakers on the receiver main unit.
However, some of the setting items such as the controlled device registration should be set on the PowerTouch. If setup is made on the PowerTouch, it is not necessary to repeat any setup on the receiver side.
Therefore, it is recommended to perform setup on the PowerTouch. This chapter describes the setup on the receiver only as an alternative method in case the setup is not made on the PowerTouch.
Do not operate the PowerTouch during the receiver setup.
Preparation for setup
Most of the receiver control buttons are accommodated inside the panel door. Make the following preparation for setup on the receiver.
1. Plug the power cord into a household power outlet.
2. Press the POWER switch to supply the main power. The receiver now enters the STANDBY mode (in which re­mote control is available). Then press the ON/STANDBY button to turn the receiver ON.
3. Open the panel door.
Press the DOOR OPEN/ CLOSE button to open the panel door. To close it, press the button again.

Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple Zones

The KRF-X9995D offers dual-zone output and control, which enables you to use a single receiver to control devices and speakers for two zones (rooms). Due to its advanced fea­tures and controls, you can play music in one zone while watching a movie in the other!
Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up one of the following sound scenarios to make full use of the Receivers capabilities:
48
No additional amplifier for Zone B: You can use the Receivers Speaker B output for Zone B. This allows you to listen to full surround sound in Zone A only, or in stereo in Zone A when Zone B is active. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.
Stereo amplifier for Zone B: You can use an additional stereo amplifier for Zone B (connected to the Receiver’s Zone B Preouts). This allows you to listen to full surround sound
ZONE A
(Main System)
TV
in Zone A even if you are also listening in Zone B. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.
Multiple zones require you to run wires and cabling from the primary zone (Zone A) where your Receiver is installed to another zone (Zone B) where an IR Receiver (for U.K. only), a second set of speakers, and possibly a second TV/ Monitor is installed:
ZONE B
IR

This chapter discusses some of the connection con­figurations and additional PowerTouch setup neces­sary if you want to take full advantage of the Receiver’s multiple-zone capabilities. It contains the following sec­tions:
Making Connections page 49
Setting Up PowerTouch page 50
For U.K. only: To control the receiver from Zone B by making full use of the bi-directional communication function of PowerTouch, it is required to use an IR receiver (see "Connecting the Ex­ternal Infrared Receivers" on page 51).
Kenwood recommends hiring a competent installer to make multiple-zone connections and setup.

Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple Zones

Making Connections

This section describes how to connect speakers in the two zones to support the different scenarios. Before you read this section, Kenwood recommends reading Connecting
Your Speakers on page 4 of this manual. In addition, this section discusses how to connect a second TV/Monitor and how to connect an IR Receiver, IR Repeaters, Relays, and a
TV On/Off Sensor (for use with Perfect Macro).
Scenario 1: Surround Sound in Zone A only/Stereo in Zone A and Stereo in Zone B (Using the Receiver’s Speaker B Outputs)
The five amplifiers built into the receiver meet your sound needs for both zones. The built-in amplifiers allow you to listen to full surround sound if you are listening in Zone A only, or stereo in Zone A if both zones are active. You will always hear stereo in Zone B. Make the speaker connections as shown in the illustration under To Connect Front and Surround Sound Speakers: on page 5, being sure to also connect the Zone B speakers to the SPEAKER B binding post.

Connecting and Setting Up On/Off Sensors or Relay Controls (for U.K. only), continued
The KRF-X9995D (model for U.K.) supports 2 types of ad­ditional external controls:
A relay control that enables you to operate external re­lay-control devices (such as the Xantech 590-0 program­mable controller, via Xantechs 599-00 pulse switching module).
A TV ON/OFF sensor that enables you to use the Perfect Macro feature (described further in the Users Guide) to accurately sense whether the TV is already on or off and adjust accordingly.

To Connect Relay Controls:

1. Consult the relay controls manual for compatibility in­formation and installation instructions before connect­ing it to your new receiver. If you install the control in­correctly or connect an incompatible control to the re­ceiver, you may damage the control and your new re­ceiver.
2. Connect the control cable to the receivers RELAY CON-
TROL jack. This jack supports a 12V, 20mA signal.
Do not connect multiple 599-00 switching modules to each
other or to the receiver, as this can exceed the maximum current capacity of the jack and damage your receiver.

To Connect TV ON/OFF Sensors:

1. Connect the sensor to the TV as described in the sensor’s manual.
2. Connect the sensor cable to the receivers TV ON/ OFF SENSOR jack. This jack supports a 5V, 10mA signal.
JDS:PSS-TV or NILES:LS-1, APC-2 sensors are compatible with your new receiver.
