due to use during operation checks.
2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before,
replace both batteries with new ones.
3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from a
high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction.
In such a case, change the location of the system installation to
prevent malfunction.
Before applying the power
Preparing the remote control
Loading the batteries
1 Remove the cover.
2 Insert the batteries.
3 Close the cover.

Channel space switching
(Except for the U.S.A., Canada and Australia)
The space between radio channels has been set to the one that
prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the
current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area
where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from

reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case,
change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by
referring to the following table.
Turn the power OFF by pressing the POWER key before moving the
switch level. Move the switch lever to match your area with a small

Special features
True home theater sound
This model 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 II
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
and three-dimensional space from music CD.
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. It is recommended that you connect the
digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this model 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 (For KRF-V4080D 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 during Dolby Digital and DTS playback.
IR (InfraRed) remote control
In addition to the basic opeations of this model, this IR remote control
supplied can also operate Kenwood cassette deck, MD recorder or CD
player which are connected using the system control cords.
This remote control can also control Kenwood DVD players directly
without using the DVD players' remote control.
