POWER

Infrared ray system

•When pressing more than one remote control key successively, press the keys securely by leaving an interval of 1 second or more between keys.

Notes

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

2.When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before, replace both batteries with new ones.

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.

Channel space switching

(Except for the U.S.A., Canada and Australia)

The space between radio channels has been set to the one that prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by referring to the following table.

	Area	CHANNEL
		Space Frequency
1.	U.S.A., Canada and South	FM: 100 kHz
	American countries	AM: 10 kHz
2.	Other countries	FM: 50 kHz

Special features

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! £

Dolby Digital

The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital 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 II

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convincing “5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC II offers special features for controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. PRO LOGIC II produces an impressive surround sound from video software marked and three-dimensional space from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.

DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer) channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a (wide) dynamic range.

In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround. Important:

When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.

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”, THEATER”, STADIUM” and “DISCO”. It is compatible with almost any kind of program source.

DVD 6-channel input (For VR-715/KRF-V5070D only)

If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound systems.

ACTIVE EQ

ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE EQ is turned on during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.

IR (InfraRed) remote control

In addition to the basic receiver opeations, this IR remote control supplied can also operate Kenwood cassette deck, MD recorder or CD player which are connected using the system control cords.

This remote control can also control Kenwood DVD players directly without using the DVD players’ remote control.

5 EN

Standby mode

While the standby indicator is lit, a small amount of power is supplied to the system to back-up the memory. This is called standby mode. Under the condition, the system can be turned ON by the remote control unit.

Setting up the system

Make connections as shown in the following pages. When connecting the related system components, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components you are connecting.

Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed.

Notes

1.Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise interference.

2.Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit.

3.Do not connect power cords from components whose power consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.

Analog connections

Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer by referring to “In case of difficulty”. º

Input mode settings

CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-715/KRF-V5070D only) inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.

After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.

LISTEN MODE INPUT SELECTOR

INPUT MODE

1Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-715/KRF-V5070D only).

2Press the INPUT MODE key.

Each press switches the setting as follows:

In DTS play mode

1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input)

In CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-715/KRF-V5070D

only) play mode

1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input)

3 6CH INPT (DVD/6CH input)

4 ANALOG (analog input)

Digital input:

Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD player.

Analog input:

Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR, or record player.

Auto detect:

In “F-AUTO” (full auto) mode (AUTO DETECT and DIGITAL indicators light up), the receiver detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input mode selection. The receiver will select the input mode and listening mode automatically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the speaker setting. The initial factory setting is full auto.

To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use the INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (digital manual). However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases in which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a Dolby Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening mode and source digital.

In D-MANUAL mode, if the audio reproduction stops in the middle due to change in the input signals, etc, press the LISTEN MODE key.

If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.
