About the supplied remote control . . .
Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several
operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In
order to effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a
proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation
modes may result in incorrect operations.

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 (AC-3)
The DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) mode lets you enjoy full digital surround
from software processed in the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format. Dolby
Digital (AC-3) 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 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from
video software marked
.
The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to steer
the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals.
The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left
and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.
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.a
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.
MACRO play
The MACRO function lets you perform a series of operations automati-
cally, like turning ON the power of the receiver and connected compo-
nents, switching the input selectors, and starting playback. (Be sure to
register your components before starting the macro set up procedure
.
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner
The receiver is equipped with a RDS tuner that provides several
convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically pre-
set up to 30 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
Lets you tune stations by specifying the type of program you want to
hear.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks) reservation
The EON function lets you monitor information on other stations so you
can receive traffic or news programs as soon as they are broadcast,
even they are broadcast on a station different from the one you are
currently listening to. When the broadcast ends, the receiver returns to
the original station. When listening to KENWOOD source components
connected with system control cords, the input selector on the receiver
automatically switches to the tuner when a program you desire is
broadcast.
How to use this manual
This manual is divided in to four sections, Preparations, Operations,
Other, and Remote Control.
Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the
receiver and prepare the surround processor.
We've tried to make setting up your system as easy as possible.
However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.
Operations
Shows you how to operate the various functions available from the
receiver.
Other
Shows you additional information such as "In case of difficulty" (trouble-
shooting) and "Specifications".
Remote Control (Separate booklet)
Includes the "Quick Start Guide," which shows you how to operate
other components using the remote control, as well as a detailed
explanation of all remote control operations. Once you have registered
your components with the proper setup codes, you'll be able to operate
both this receiver and your other AV components (TV, VCR, LD player,
CD player, etc.) using the remote control supplied with this receiver.
