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 and Dolby Digital EX
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. As for Dolby Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1 channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie sound­tracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX.
Dolby PRO LOGIC
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows the 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 from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.
II
and three-dimensional space
SRS Circle Surround
SRS Circle Surround II™ improves on its predecessor CS-5.1™ resulting in the CS-6.1™ system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround­encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital /DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi­speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II.
II
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
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.
DTS and DTS-ES
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 seperation and a (wide) dynamic range. DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete
6.1 produce the discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesised within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the sound image from back. 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.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.
SPEAKER EQ
SPEAKER EQ function is to adjust the receiver’s audio output characteristics with the speakers’ characteristics which differs depending on the size of the speakers. Especially for the music sound source playback, the reproduced sound becomes more natural when adjusting the output characteristics. When activating the SPEAKER EQ function, you will be able to enjoy a more natural and dynamic sound experience even with small size speakers.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver, 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.

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
Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
1. imperfect, sound may not be produced or there will be noise inference.
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 on 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”. w
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
• Do not place any objects impairing heat radiation onto the top of the unit.
• Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below.
Top panel : 50 cm Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm

• Sound will not be heard if the speaker terminal is not fully secured.
• Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.
• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatu­ral with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers correctly.
Speaker impedance
After confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on the rear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching impedance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than that indicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctions or damage to the speakers or receiver.
• 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 speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available. *

Connecting the system control

Connecting system control cords after connecting a KENWOOD audio component system lets you take advantage of convenient system control operations.
This unit is compatible only with the [SL-16] mode. The system control operation is not available if the unit is connected in the [XS8], [XS], or [XR] connection mode.
If your component has the mode select switch, set the connected components to the [SL16] mode.

SYSTEM CONTROL OPERATIONS
Remote Control
Lets you operate this unit with the system remote supplied with the receiver.
Automatic Operation
When you start playback from a source component, the input selector on this unit switches to that component automatically.
Synchronized Recording
Lets you synchronize recording with the start of playback when recording from CD, MD or analog discs.
Registering setup codes for KENWOOD audio components
If you own remote controllable KENWOOD audio components that are not compatible with system control, registering the setup code enables you to control those components using the remote control supplied with this unit (without connecting system control cords). To register setup codes for your remote controllable KENWOOD audio components, see Registering setup codes for other components”.
In order to take advantage of the system control operations, the components must be connected to the correct jacks. To use a CD player it must be connected to the CD jacks. To use a cassette deck (or MD recorder) it must be connected to the MD/TAPE jacks. When using more than one CD player (etc.) only the one connected to the specified jacks may be connected for system control.
Some CD players and cassette decks are not compatible with the [SL16] system control mode. Do not make 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.
Notes
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.
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.

Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such
as Laserdisc or DVD software marked previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound
quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.
). Compared with
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is an extension of Dolby Digital technology, Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 6.1­channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. This is achieved by using three different surround signals, Left Surround, Right Surround, and Back Surround, each driving its own array of speakers. Think of it as adding a center channel for the rear speakers, which give more diffuse and natural surround effect, even if you wanted the ability to completely encircle the audience with sound, positioning sound effects exactly where they would be heard in real life. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for titles released prior to late 2001, this feature has to be activated manually.
Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, surround back and a subwoofer) is required for true 6.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround EX sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.
Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surround modes.
The indication LFE appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.
Dolby PRO LOGIC II
Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed into this receiver are MOVIE, MUSIC and PRO LOGIC. The MOVIE mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the MUSIC mode has user-adjustable characteris­tics to offer the three optional controls, like Dimension, Center Width and Panorama modes to allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The Dimension control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear; the Center Width control allows various adjustment of the left-center-right speakers balance; the Panorama mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting wrap-around effect with side wall imaging.
). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in
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 seperation 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.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system with additional Surround Back channel which evolved from the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 produce the discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesised within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back presents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the impression of the sound image from back. Programs which are recorded using DTS-ES technology consist of information flags which will be able to control the Discrete and Matrix mode. Thus, it can automatically select the best matched mode.
Neo:6
Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2 channels content. Neo:6 has 2 mode, "CINEMA" mode is for movie playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.
DTS has a .1 or LFE channel. The indication LFE appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.
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.
The indication LFE appears in the display during DVD 6-channel mode selection.
Note
LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non­directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

DSP mode
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!
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.
SRS Circle Surround
SRS Circle Surround II improves on its predecessor CS-5.1 resulting in the CS-6.1 system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi­speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II. The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places the listener inside music performances, and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material. The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus and TruBass. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from the speaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, rich bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.

library to the selected device, starting with the most popular code first.
4
Press the Remote Setup key once to lock in the code.
5
To search for the codes of your other components, repeat steps
1
through 4, but substitute the appropriate key (i.e., DVD/6CH, CD/DVD, VID1, VID2, VID3, TV, MD/TAPE, AV AUX, PHONO).
PHONO key has to be re-assigned to another key before a setup
code can be programmed.
Press the source keys (DVD/6CH, CD/DVD, VID1, VID2, VID3,

If a code digit is 0, the LED will not blink.
4
Repeat step 3 three more times for the remaining digits. Use 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit.
5
To check the codes of your other components, repeat steps
1
through DVD/6CH, CD/DVD, VID1, VID2, VID3, TV, MD/TAPE, AV AUX, PHONO) for the component you are checking.
As suggested earlier on, write down each of the four-digit code.
PHONO key has to be re-assigned to another key before a setup
code can be programmed.
