Chapter One: Connecting Your Devices
Welcome to the Kenwood VR-4900/VR-4700/KRF-V9993D
Connection and Setup Guide. This chapter guides you
through connecting your home entertainment devices to
your new Kenwood audio-video receiver.
Once all your devices are connected, you can set up the
PowerTouch (see Chapter Two).
Refer to the following pages for details on connecting these
devices:
Speakers page␣ 4
TV page␣ 8
VCR(s) page␣ 12
CD Player, Kenwood 200-Disc Changer page␣ 14
DVD Player page␣ 16

Tape Deck(s) page␣ 20
Laser Disc Player page␣ 24
Turntable page␣ 28
Camcorder/Second VCR page␣ 29
Antennas page␣ 31
All necessary cables should be provided with your home
entertainment device (not with your new receiver). If you
do not have the correct cables, you may purchase these
cables from any home entertainment store or by visiting
the Kenwood USA Web site: www.kenwoodusa.com (for
USA and Canada only).
To make coaxial digital connections, be sure to use a highquality digital audio cable, not a standard audio cable.
Do not plug in the receiver or any other device to AC power
until all connections have been made. Once all devices have
been connected, you may plug them in and provide power.
Important:
Your new receiver requires adequate ventilation to perform
reliably. Be sure not to block the ventilation area on the top
or back (or both sides) of the receiver with another device.
These areas should be:
USA and Canada: at least 6 inches (15 cm) from any obstruction.
Other countries: at least top; 50cm, back; 10cm, and left
and right side; 10cm.
Do not install your receiver where direct sunlight or high
frequency flourescent lighting can shine directly into the
remote sensor. This can cause your new receiver to malfunction.
Before You Begin
This manual covers the most common and standard connections to the receiver. Because of its versatility, you may
decide to connect your devices differently.
Before making any video connections to the your receiver :
• You can use either S-Video or standard composite (RCA)
video connections.
• If all of your video devices and TV have S-Video connectors, we suggest that you use them exclusively, since it
will provide superior video performance.
Before Connection:
The connection scheme in this manual shows the most typical example with a receiver. But the receiver can also be connected and used in several ways other than the example.
Before connecting any video device to the Receiver, please
read carefully the following information.
Video signals
The receiver incorporates video signal separation and mixing circuitry which enables mutual conversion between the
composite video and S-Video signals. It is also equipped
with component video signal input/output. (VR-4900 and
KRF-9993D only)
Video output at the Monitor connectors or the VIDEO
connectors
The monitor connectors or the VIDEO connectors of the
Receiver outputs the video signal according to the connected
TV (video monitor, VCR) regardless of whether the connected video or DVD device outputs the composite video
or S-Video. The component signals will be output only at
the component MONITOR OUT connectors (VR-4900 and
KRF-V9993D only).
• When the connected video device or TV is equipped with
S-Video connectors, it is recommended to use S-Video
connectors to enjoy higher video equality.
• If the video device and/or TV do not have a S-Video input connector, it is recommended only to use the (standard) video connector.
Mutual conversion between composite video, S-Video and
component video signals is limited in the directions of arrows in the following diagram.
Input Output
1 Composite Composite
2 S-Video S-Video
3 Component Component
If several video connections are made, one of them will be
selected based on the priority 1, 2 and 3.
• If you plan on using the VR-4900 or the KRF-V9993D
in a Dual-Room application (see Chapter Four), you
must use the composite video connections in addition
to any S-Video connections. Only video sources connected with composite connectors can be viewed in the
second room.

Connecting Your Speakers, continued
Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until all connec-
tions have been made.
To Connect Front Speakers Only:
If you only intend to listen to stereo sound (as opposed to
surround sound), you may simply connect a single pair of
speakers. To do so:
Using Banana Plugs (except for U.K.):
1. Tighten the speaker wire binding posts. If you do not
tighten the posts, they will not conduct sound properly
to the speakers.
2. Insert the plug from the positive jack on the RIGHT
FRONT speaker into the pin jack on the positive RIGHT
FRONT post. Repeat for the negative plug.
3. Repeat step 2 for the positive and negative wires on the
LEFT FRONT speaker.
Using Bare Wires:
1. Loosen the speaker wire binding posts.
2. Insert the wire from the positive jack on the RIGHT
FRONT speaker into the U-shaped slot in the base of
the positive RIGHT FRONT post. Lay the wire to the
right of the post; that way, when you tighten the binding post, it will naturally twist the wire into the best
connection. Tighten the post. Repeat for the negative wire
on the RIGHT FRONT speaker as shown to the right.
3. Repeat step 2 for the positive and negative wires on the
LEFT FRONT speaker.
To Connect Front and Surround Sound
Speakers:
To listen to the full surround sound that this receiver can
put out, connect front speakers, center, left surround, and
right surround speakers. To do so:
Using Banana Plugs (except for U.K.):
1. Tighten the speaker wire binding posts. If you do not
tighten the posts, they will not conduct sound properly
to the speakers.
2. Follow the steps under “To Connect Front Speakers
Only” on this page to connect the RIGHT and LEFT
FRONT speakers.
3. Insert the plug from the positive jack on the CENTER
speaker into the pin jack on the positive CENTER post.
Repeat for the negative plug.
4. Insert the plug from the positive jack on the RIGHT
SURROUND speaker into the pin jack on the positive
RIGHT SURROUND post. Repeat for the negative plug.
5. Repeat step 4 for the positive and negative wires on the
LEFT SURROUND speaker.
Using Bare Wires:
1. Loosen the speaker wire binding posts.
2. Follow the steps under “To Connect Front Speakers
Only” on this page to connect the RIGHT and LEFT
FRONT speakers.
3. Insert the wire from the positive jack on the CENTER
speaker into the U-shaped slot in the base of the positive
CENTER post, as shown to the right.
Tighten the post. Repeat for the negative wire.
4. Insert the wire from the positive jack on the RIGHT SUR-
ROUND speaker into the U-shaped slot on the base of
the positive RIGHT SURROUND post. Tighten the post.
Repeat for the negative wire.
5. Repeat step 4 for the positive and negative wires on the
LEFT SURROUND speaker.
What if I Have a Powered Subwoofer?
Simply connect the subwoofer’s audio cable to the receiver’s
subwoofer PRE OUT jack as shown to the left.
Never short circuit the + and - speaker wires.
Do not switch the left and right speaker wires or swap the +
and - wires on the binding posts.
The speakers must have a nominal impedance of between
6Ω and 16Ω (VR-4900/VR-4700) or between 4Ω and 16Ω
(KRF-V9993D for Europe and U.K.).

Chapter One : Connecting Your Devices
Connections
Connecting Your TV, continued
Do not plug in the receiver or devices to AC power until
you have connected all your devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your TV to
the VR-4900/VR-4700/KRF-V9993D. Please refer to your TV’s
instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and
capabilities.
The instructions in this section show how to connect your
TV as a monitor for the other video devices you connect
(without using it as an audio/video source device itself). To
use your TV as an audio/video source device, you must first
connect it as described in this section, and also connect its
audio/video output jacks as if they were cable TV tuner outputs, as described in “To Connect a Cable TV Tuner with a
Composite (RCA) Video Output” on page 11.
To Connect a TV:
1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on
page␣ 1. It contains important notes about the types of
video connections you can make.
2. Connect a video cable from your TV’s Video IN jack to
the receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack as shown to the left.
3. If your TV does not have any video input connections,
you must purchase an RF modulator. The modulator
will convert the video signal from the receiver to an RF
signal that will work with the TV’s antenna connections.
Connect the receiver to the TV according to the RF
modulator’s instruction manual.
4. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which
jack you used to connect your TV. In addition, note the
brand name and model number of the TV.
If you previously connected your TV directly to your VCR,
you must now connect it through your new receiver.
What if I Want to Watch TV without Turning
on the Receiver?
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). You can still watch TV
without having to use the receiver.

Connecting Your Cable TV or Satellite Tuner, continued
Do not plug in the receiver or devices to AC power until
you have connected all your devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your cable or
satellite tuner to the VR-4900/VR-4700/KRF-V9993D. Please
refer to your tuner’s instructions for more detail about its
connection jacks and capabilities.
The instructions in this section show one of several possible variations on connecting your tuner. For further assistance on optional configurations, contact your cable or satellite provider.
To Connect a Cable TV Tuner with a Composite (RCA) Video Output:
1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on
page␣ 1. It contains important notes about the types of
video connections you can make.
2. Connect the audio and video cables from the cable
tuner’s Audio and Video Out jacks to the receiver’s
VIDEO2, VIDEO3, or VIDEO4 PLAY IN jacks as shown
to the left.
3. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which
jack you used to connect your tuner. In addition, note
the brand name and model number of the tuner.

2. Connect the audio cables from the cable tuner’s Audio
Out jacks to the receiver’s VIDEO2, VIDEO3, or VIDEO4
PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.
3. Leave the cable tuner’s video out (RF jack) connected
directly to your VCR or TV (wherever you already have
it connected). See “How Do I Operate Devices?” on
page␣ 29 of the Users’ Guide for details about using this
setup.
4. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which
jack you used to connect your tuner. In addition, note

To Connect a Satellite Tuner:
1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on
page␣ 1. It contains important notes about the types of
video connections you can make.
2. If your satellite tuner has a digital output jack, connect
a digital (coaxial or optical) cable between the satellite
tuner’s digital output jack and the receiver’s VIDEO2,
VIDEO3 or VIDEO4 digital input jack as shown in the
figure on the left.
Note that the jack sets are linked, even though they are
not adjacent. You must connect all of the cables from
your satellite receiver to a linked jack set. For example,
if you connect the analog cables to VIDEO2 and the
digital optical cable to VIDEO3,␣ your satellite receiver
will not work correctly.
3. Connect the audio and video cables from the satellite
tuner’s Audio and Video Out jacks to the receiver’s
VIDEO2, VIDEO3, or VIDEO4 PLAY IN jacks as shown
to the left.
4. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page␣ 3 and note which
