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

• 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

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.
