4	True home theater sound
	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!	›

Preparations

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.

Operations

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.

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. ‚

Other

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.) r

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. o

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-V999D (En/T)
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner	5

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! ¶°

PTY (Program TYpe) search

Lets you tune stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear. º

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. ¤

Dual room installation capability

In addition to the standard "A" speaker output terminals for use in your main system, this receiver also incorporates separate "B" speaker terminals and "Room B" RCA video and stereo output jacks. This system lets you use the remote control to control and output audio and video to "Room B" independent of "Room A." %u

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.

Preparations

•Some CD players and cassette decks are not compatible with the [SL16] system control mode. Be sure to use the [XS8] system control mode when making system connections with equipment that is not [SL16] compatible.

•Some MD players are not system control compatible. You cannot make system control connections to this kind of equipment.

1.[SL16] equipment cannot be combined with [XR], [XS], and [XS8] equipment for system operations. If your equipment consists of this kind of combination, please do not connect any system control cords. Even without

system control cords, normal operations can be carried out without effecting performance.

Notes 2. Do not connect system control cords to any components other than those specified by KENWOOD. It may cause a malfunction and damage your equipment.

3. Be sure the system control plugs are inserted all the way in to the system control terminals.

Notes

•Insert four AAA-size (LR03) batteries as indicated by the polarity markings.

1.The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary batteries due to use during operation checks.

2.Replace all four batteries with new ones when you notice a shortening of the distance from which the remote control will operate or if the remote control blinks 5 times when you push a key. The remote control is designed to retain set up codes in memory while you change batteries.

3.Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction. In such a case, change the location of the system installation to prevent malfunction.

Operations

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.

Listening position

Surround speaker

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.
