About the supplied remote control
Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several
operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In
order to effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a
proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation
modes may result in incorrect operations.

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 each end, one red for the right channel and one 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 referring to “In case of difficulty”.‹
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-615/KRF-V5060D
only) inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio
input.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the input
mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.
INPUT SELECTOR
INPUT MODE
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,
DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-615/KRF-V5060D only).
2 Press 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-615/KRF-V5060D
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.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

This receiver is equipped with listening modes that allow
you to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety
of video sources.
In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround
modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings
beforehand.&
Surround modes
DTS
The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD
software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside
most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen
to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD,
LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This
noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a
high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the
digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this
situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1
channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a
built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital
output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player.
All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder.

Note
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround

soundfields as desired. The “Dimension” control allows the user to
gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards

What's DSP?
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a
variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of 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.
DVD 6-channel mode
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels
and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source
material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and
each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality,
sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb.
*LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass singnals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep
bass sound effects.
