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
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 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.

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