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 result, 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 user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convinc­ing “5.1 like” presentation. PRO LOGIC controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field imaging. PRO LOGIC video software marked from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.

DVD 6-channel input (KRF-V5080D only)
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this model 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.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this model can also operate KENWOOD DVD player. Just follow the simple setup procedure.
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 separation 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 produces the discrete surround back which is completely independent and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesized within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS­ES 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 modes, “CINEMA” mode is for movie playback and “MUSIC” mode is for music playback.

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, DVD (VR-806) and DVD/6CH(KRF-V5080D) inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input. After completing connections and turning on this model, follow the steps below.
INPUT SELECTORLISTEN MODE
INPUT MODE
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,
DVD (VR-806 only), DVD/6CH (KRF-V5080D 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(VR-806 only), DVD/6CH(KRF-V5080D only) play mode
1 F-AUTO (digital input, analog input) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input) 3 6CH INPT (DVD/6CH input) (KRF-V5080D only) 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), this model detects the digital or analog input signals automatically. Priority is given to digital signal during input mode selection. This model 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 this model 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.
