True home theater sound
Preparations
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! ¤
Dolby 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. Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more
powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from video software marked .
The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in directivity enhancer circuit to control the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel
audio signals and reproduce a real sense of sound motion .
The 3 STEREO mode uses the directivity enhancer circuit to provide proper acoustic positioning and a real sense of sound
motion even when only the front and center speakers are used.
New 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", "STADIUM", "CHURCH" and "THEATER", to add the “presence” associated with an arena, jazz club
or stadium (etc.) to the original signal. It is compatible with almost any kind of program source.
Operations
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver and OSD operations, 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. °
Dual IR emitters
This remote control has two IR emitters: one to send commands in a straight line over long distances, allowing you to control
the receiver and your other components from farther away; and one for wide dispersion of commands in a closer proximity,
for near-field operation even when the remote control is not pointed directly at the respective component. $
MACRO play
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.)
Other
FutureSet, automatic update feature
This function lets you update the remote control so it can operate new components which do not appear in the setup code
list at the end of the manual. Therefore, the remote control will always be compatible.
w
y
Easy surround setup and operation with OSD (On Screen Display)
This function takes advantage of your monitor TV to simplify the surround setup procedures so you can quickly and easily
match the surround processing to your speaker system, and your listening environment.
You can also use OSD during playback to customize the DSP surround modes, etc. %
Special features
KR-V888D (En/T)
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner
The receiver is equipped with a RDS tuner that provides several convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to
automatically preset up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name display, to show you the name
of the current broadcast station; and PTY search to let you tune stations by program type. ∞
On screen Radio Text
Although most RDS compatible tuners and receiver's can display the name of the current broadcast station, this receiver
goes one step further by allowing you to display the station name, as well as any other text messages broadcast from the
current station, in large easy to read characters on the screen of your monitor TV. You can even display radio text from an
RDS station while enjoying a different source component! ∞ fl
PTY (Program TYpe) search
Lets you tune stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear. •
EON (Enhanced Other Networks) reservation
The EON function lets you monitor information on other stations so you can receive traffic, news, or information programs
as soon as they are broadcast, even they are broadcast on a station different from the one you are currently listening to.
When the broadcast ends, the receiver returns to the original station. When listening to KENWOOD source components
connected with system control cords, the input selector on the receiver automatically switches to the tuner when a
program you desire is broadcast. º

Preparations
New TRAITR transistor adopted in the final stage
A new TRAITR transistor which features superior temperature tracking characteristics has been adopted in the final stage
of the power amplifier block. This new TRAITR transistor combines a temperature compensation resistor with an emitter
resistor and final transistor to provide ideal temperature compensation characteristics and minimize distortion caused by
temperature variations.
How to use this manual
This manual is divided in to four sections, Preparations, Operations, Remote Control, and Other.

• 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.
Preparations
Left
Speaker impedance
When only one pair of speakers is
connected to the A or B speaker terminals, use speakers having an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω, when two pairs of
speakers are connected to both A and
B terminals simultaneously, use speakers having an impedance of 8 to 16 Ω.
In this case, connecting a speaker having an impedance of less than 8 Ω may
cause malfunction of the receiver.

Setting up the system
PRE OUT connections
14
This receiver has additional preout jacks. These can be used for various purposes, but will need to be connected to an external power
amplifier as shown in the example below. Connecting a speaker cord directly to a PRE OUT jack will not produce any sound from the
speaker.
Be sure to set one of the SPEAKERS keys (either A or B) to the ON position when using the PRE OUT jacks.

Operating distance
This remote control has two IR emitters: one to send commands
in a straight line over long distances, allowing you to control the
receiver and your other components from farther away; and one
for wide dispersion of commands in a closer proximity, for nearfield operation even when the remote control is not pointed
directly at the respective component.

Preparations
Front speakers : Place to 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. Be sure to connect a center speaker when
using the Dolby 3 Stereo mode.
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. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere.
Required for surround playback.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
• 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 following steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the
speakers you have available.
