This receiver is provided with a variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your vidj
software. Select a surround mode according to your equipment or the software you are going to play. Enjoy!

. .

The Dolby AC-3 mode lets you enjoy LD software marked
3 format digital signals, in digital surround. By providing up to 5.1 channels of digital audio independently, Dolby
AC-3 lets you to enjoy better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

imM£Mawm&DOLBY ssimo

This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from video software marked .
The DOLBY 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 DOLBY 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.

MRJMBUL.

This mode uses DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to add an element of "presence" to the DOLBY PRO LOGIC signals
(Left, Center, Right and Surround) output from the directivity enhancer circuit, and bring the extra sense of
dimensionality, associated with movie theaters, to your listening room.

EsmsmMmjatWi OBO (Oil Display) - ,

This function uses a monitor TV to simplify the previously difficult setup procedures like, surround setup, remote
control setup code input, and macro-play setup. Once you've completed these setups, all you have to do is eny^
your movies. VP
You can also use OSD for basic operation of source components. Connecting KENWOOD source components wi№
the System Control (SL16 only), lets you use OSD to display information about the current source.

JJBJMtamdBay} remote control

To watch video software, you used to have to use the infrared ray remote control supplied with your monitor TV
and video equipment. This receiver, however, is supplied with a repeater that lets you turn ON and start playback
from your video components once you specify the remote control setup code. Be sure to set up the IR remote before
you start watching movies. *02 *!32

Here's what you can do in GUI mode

O Create an ideal AV environment (Set Up).

You can set up your AV system for efficient operation of all the audio and video equipment connected to this receiver. Set
according to your equipment. (SYSTEM SET UP)

This mode also lets you complete the required surround setup. Once surround setup is complete, you may not need to adjust

it again unless you change (or add) speakers. (SURROUND SET UP)
It may seem tedious but after you complete these set up operations, you will have a fully integrated AV system.

O Select surround modes on-screen.

The receiver lets you choose from various home theater operations while looking at the screen of your monitor TV. So you

can stay seated for simple operations.

0 Switch input source and operate other components.

The GUI mode also lets use the monitor TV screen for basic operations of components connected to the receiver with

SYSTEM CONTROL cords. With the [SL16] mode, the current status of the source component is displayed in red.

You can also conduct basic operations of video components by entering the remote control set up code. In this case, the

current status of the video component is not displayed.
Since the icons shown on the monitor TV are similar to the symbols on the operation keys of each source component, also

check the operating instructions supplied with the source components during operation.

O Switch input sources and operate other components.

The current input is displayed in blue. When you select
another source, the input switches and the operation screen
for that component is displayed (except for VIDEO 3 and
PHONO).

Whafs delay time?

The sound you hear is composed of sound that comes to your ears
directly from the sound source (direct sound), and sound that is
reflected off the walls, floor, and ceiling of your room (reflected
sound). Reflected sounds arrive at your ears slightly later than the
direct sounds. Delay time is the difference in arrival time between the
direct sound and the reflected sound.
This receiver sets the appropriate delay time automatically when you
input the speaker distance.

This receiver incorporates 4 different sound modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources.
The Dolby AC-3 and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound let you enjoy theater-like surround effects when you play Dolby AC-3 and
Dolby Pro Logic program sources (like Laserdiscs). Dolby 3 Stereo creates a panoramic frontal sound field while keeping dialog

^^8 on screen. The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes, DSP Logic, let you create the atmosphere of a movie theater from almost

any type of program source.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete "Surround set up" before using the surround modes.-»Q^

KR-VS90D CEnJ

Sound modes

Dolby AC-3

The Dolby AC-3 surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from Dolby AC-3 pro­gram sources (such as Laserdisc software marked

gjlDo^iu^^ }. Compared with previous Dolby surround,

Dolby AC-3 provides even better sound quality, greater
spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Some AC-3 programs carry information that lets you com
press the dynamic range of the sound track, without de
grading the sound quality, for softer sound effects when
you listen late at night ("Midnight mode"-[^).

Note

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, rear left and
right, and a sub-woofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby AC-3
surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby AC-3 (and Dolby Pro
Logic) program sources, even if you connect only the front and rear, or
center speakers. ("Surround set up"

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel surround
format designed to provide theater-like surround sound
from Dolby Pro Logic program sources (such as video and
Laserdisc software marked[lJl«*gyw»wwwD|). This receiver
is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to iet
you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Pro
Logic home video software.

Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby 3 Stereo creates a panoramic frontal sound field
while maintaining the dialog in an on-screen position. This
mode is designed for use with Dolby program sources, but
can also improve sound field unity for non-Dolby program
sources. Dialog positioning and sound image definition,
however, may not be as accurate when used with non­Dolby program sources.

* LFE = Low Frequency Extension. This channel delivers separate ndn-

directional bass signals to the sub-woofer for more dynamic deep

bass sound effects.
Although only AC-3 soundtracks incorporate a separate low fjjj
quency channel, connecting a sub-woofer will also improve d(

bass performance in the other surround modes.

* Optional in this mode.

* Optional in this mode.

DSP Logic

DSP Logic transforms your listening room into either a
SMALL or LARGE movie theater by using DSP to add delay
and reverberation to signals processed by the Dolby Pro
Logic surround decoder. These modes are most effective
with Dolby Pro Logic program sources, but can also create
a convincing theater-like atmosphere from a (non-Dolby)
stereo signal.*
The EFFECT level lets you adjust the "presence" of the
theater according to your preference.

*Spatial dynamics and sound image definition may not be as accurate

when used with non-Dolby Pro Logic program sources.

* Optional in this mode.

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment

lepends on a variety of different factors. One of the most
' portant is reverberation (the act of decaying elements

W'

Tf 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.
