PC card slot

A PC card slot is provided on the front panel to enable playback of images

(JPEG) captured with a digital camera.

True home theater sound

This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your video software and audio source. Select a surround mode according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and enjoy!

÷ Dolby Headphone

“Supreme” data audio quality improvement technology

Compressed music data such as MP3 data tends to lack expansion

because the high frequencies should be cut off during compression.

“Supreme” is KENWOOD-original technology for reproducing more

realistic sound by estimating and interpolating the high frequencies that

have been lost during compression.

The “Supreme” function is activated when music data that has 44.1 kHz

sampling rate of the MP3, WMA or Ogg Vorbis format is played back.

(The effects are variable depending on the bit rate.)

GAME mode function

When you connect a game machine to the GAME jacks on the front

panel, the input selector of the receiver switches automatically to "GAME" and the optimum sound field for enjoying games is set.

This feature improves your convenience in playing video games.

DUAL SOURCE function

While you enjoy audio listening through the speakers, another person

can enjoy another source (audio + video) through headphones by connecting the source to the GAME, FRONT AUX jacks.

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.

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.

„

RDS (Radio Data System) tuner (For Europe)

The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several

convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset

up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name

display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY

search to let you tune stations by program type.

PTY (Program TYpe) search (For Europe)

Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.

Setting up the system

CAUTION

Make sure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the AC wall

outlet before proceeding to connections. Also be sure to disconnect the

power cord plug from the AC wall outlet before changing connections.

For the connections of other system components, see pages 10 to 17.

When connecting an associated system component, be sure to read its instruction manual.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears,even

though all connections have been made properly, reset the micro computer referring to "In case of difficulty". k

Notes

1. Be sure to turn off the system components before connecting them.

2. Be sure to insert every connection cable completely into the jack.

Incomplete connection may result in absence of audio output or

production of noise.

3. Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet before

inserting or removing a connection cable.

4. Installation of outdoor antenna is a dangerous work. Please have your

dealer or a specialized technician install it.

5. Select the speaker installation locations with care. If a speaker is

installed near a source of magnetism including a magnet, the mutual

interference with the speaker may produce color irregularities on the

TV screen.

Analog audio 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 to be prepared separately by the user.

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.

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.

Speaker placement

Surround speakers

*Surround Back

*Left speaker

* For Surround Back speaker, you may place either two Surround

Back speakers (Surround Back Left speaker and Surround Back Right speaker) for 7.1 channel surround sound system or one Surround Back speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound system.

Front speakers : Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV.

Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.

Center speaker : Place the center speaker on the center between the

front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.

Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible,

either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.

Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in

the listening room, near one of the front speakers near the center speaker. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)

Surround back speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind the

listining position, at the same height as the left and right surround speakers.

¶ 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. )
