Connecting and Setting Up Your New Kenwood Sovereign Entré
Welcome to the Connection and Setup Guide for your new Kenwood Sovereign
Entré. With Entré, you can enjoy traditional media, like FM/AM radio, CDs, and
movies, alongside exciting new media, such as MP3s and Internet radio. Entré
allows you to control, organize and enjoy your collections from one easy-to
navigate interface.
Use this guide to connect all your current audio and video components— Entré
has a variety of connection jacks so you can customize your entertainment
setup.
Many of Entré's features require Entré to be connected to the Internet, a Kenwood Sovereign DVD/CD changer, Kenwood CD changer with CDDB capability, and/or a Kenwood Sovereign Receiver. Features requiring external products
or services are noted throughout the manual.
Entré is a dynamic product. Software updates will allow Kenwood and
OpenGlobe to provide new functions and capabilities. Refer to the Kenwood
USA website at www.kenwoodusa.com for the latest information regarding your
new Entré.

iv How to Connect and Set Up Your Entré Entertainment Hub
Before Applying Power
Read this section carefully to ensure safe operation.
Kenwood Sovereign Entré is designed for operation on AC 120 V only. Entré
must be connected to a 120V AC outlet that supplys constant voltage. Do not
use an outlet controlled by a switch, or the switched power outlet on your
Entré or other audio component.
Safety Precautions
Read this section carefully to ensure safe operation.
Prevent electric shock:
•Do not expose your Entré to rain or moisture.
•Do not remove the cover (or back). There are no user
serviceable parts inside. If your Entré requires repair, take it to
an authorized service outlet.
The following icons indicate the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage
that may be of sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock:
Internet Connection
Many of Entré’s capabilities, including downloading CD information,
connecting to Internet radio stations, or automatic software updates, require a
specific type of Internet connection.
You must have a third-party Internet service provider (ISP) to access those
features.
Because free ISPs, AOL, and CompuServe do not use
standard methods of Internet connectivity, and do not open
their networks to outside users, you can not use these ISPs
with Entré.
To obtain an ISP via OpenGlobe, begin the Quick Start Setup
process (see “How Do I Power-Up Entré for the Very First
Time?” on page 19) and call the toll-free number given to
you during the proccess.
How Do I Reset Entré?
If Entré fails to respond to front panel or remote commands or if it responds
erroneously, use the following procedure to reset it:
•Hold the POWER button down until the Standby Indicator begins to flash
on and off. Then release the
POWER button.
• When the Standby Indicator stops flashing and is lit constantly, push the
POWER button to turn Entré on.

Connect a video cable from Entré’s Video Output jack to your TV's Video IN
jack shown above.
Before making any video connections to the TV you must choose the type of
connection you will use:
• Component video connections provide the best video quality; S-Video connections provide video quality that is superior to standard composite video
connections.
• If your A/V receiver is a Kenwood model with Universal Video™ or Universal Video™ HD, connect Entré to the TV using the highest quality connection type possible, and connect your receiver to Entré using that same type
of connection. See your receiver's Setup and Connection Guide for more
information about connecting video components to your receiver.
• If your A/V receiver is not a Kenwood model with Universal Video™ or Universal Video™ HD, connect Entré to the TV using the same type of video
connection that is being used between the rest of your video components
and your A/V receiver. (You must use the same type of connection for all of
your video components.)
• If your TV does not have any video connections at all (it only has antenna
connections), you must purchase an RF modulator that converts video signals into antenna signals to use your TV with Entré. You should be able to
find an RF modulator at a store specializing in electronic parts.
• If you previously connected your TV directly to your VCR, you must now
connect it through Entré.
Watching TV without Turning on Entré
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)
via Entré. You can still watch TV without having to use Entré—simply turn on
your TV as you normally do.

Do not plug in Entré or devices to AC power until you have connected all your
devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your receiver to Entré. Please refer
to your receiver's instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and
capabilities.
Connecting a Kenwood Sovereign Receiver
Review the information under “Before making any video connections to the
TV”. It contains important notes about the types of connections you can make.
1. Connect one of the included optical digital cables from the receiver's OPTICAL DIGITAL Out jack to Entré's DITIGAL OPTICAL In jack and connect
the other included optical digital cable from Entré's DIGITAL OPTICAL Out
jack to the receiver's CD-R OPTICAL DIGITAL jack, as shown.
If you use the optical digital cable, be sure to remove the
protective cover from the optical jack before connecting.
Please retain the cover and store it in a safe place.
2. Connect the video cable from the receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack to Entré's
Video Input jack as shown. Use the same type of connection that you used
between Entré and your TV (see pages 2-3).
3. Connect the included RS-232C cable from the receiver's RS-232C jack to
Entré's RS-232C jack as shown.
The RS-232C cable included with Entré has female
connectors at both ends. If you are substituting a commercially
available RS-232C cable, make sure that it has female
connectors on both ends.
4. Connect one stereo audio cable from the receiver's CD-R REC OUT jacks
to Entré's ANALOG REC IN jacks. Connect another stereo audio cable from
Entré's ANALOG PLAY OUT jacks to the receiver's CD-R PLAY IN jacks as
shown.
If you don’t use Entré’s analog connections, you may not be
able to record certain copy-protected media that can only be
recorded using Entré’s analog inputs.
Connecting Any Other Primary Receiver
1. Examine the receiver's available inputs and outputs. Select an input set for
Entré that has an optical digital input, analog play (tape monitor) outputs,
and analog record (tape monitor) inputs associated with it. Note which
input you select: this will become the receiver's Entré input.
2. Connect a stereo audio cable from the receiver's TAPE MONITOR OUT
(Rec) jacks to Entré's ANALOG REC IN jacks. Connect another stereo audio
cable from Entré's ANALOG PLAY OUT jacks to the receiver's TAPE MONITOR IN (Play) jacks.
3. Connect a digital optical cable from Entré's DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jack to
the receiver's DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack. If the receiver has a DIGITAL
OUT jack, and depending on what type it is (either coaxial or optical), connect it to one of Entré's DIGITAL IN jacks.
If you use the optical digital cable, be sure to remove the
protective cover from the optical jack before connecting .
Please retain the cover and store in a safe place.
4. Connect a video cable from the receiver's video MONITOR OUT jack to
Entré's VIDEO INPUT jack. Use the same type of connection that you used
between Entré and your TV (see pages 2-3).
Do NOT plug Entré’s power cord into the receiver’s switched
accessory outlet. Plug Entré’s power cord only into a wall
outlet that receives constant power.

Entré can control the following Kenwood DVD and CD changers:
• DVD: DV-5900M, DV-5050M
• CD: CD-425M, CD-4700M
Do not plug in Entré or devices to AC power until you have connected all your
devices.
Connect the included RS-232D cable from the DVD or CD changer's RS232D jack to Entré's RS 232C to CD/DVD Changer jack as shown.
The RS-232C cable included with Entré has female
connectors at both ends. If you are substituting a commercially
available RS-232C cable, make sure that it has female
connectors on both ends.
For all other connections between the DVD/CD changer and receiver/
amplifier, refer to the instruction manuals for those components.
If you are using Entré with a Kenwood Sovereign DVD
changer and a non-Kenwood Sovereign receiver, follow the
connection instructions on pages 8–9.
If you are daisy-chaining more than one Kenwood Sovereign
DVD changer, Entré will only control the changer in the chain
designated ‘Main’, not those designated ‘Sub 1’ and ‘Sub 2’.
