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.

Input mode settings

CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD or DVD/6CH (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.
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD or DVD/6CH (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 (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)

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.
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.

Ambience effects

This receiver is equipped with listening modes that allow you to enjoy an enhanced sonic ambience with a variety of video sources. In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround modes, make sure to input the proper speaker settings beforehand. ^
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such ). Compared with as Laserdisc or DVD software marked previous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers. Although only Dolby Digital soundtracks incorporate a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surround modes. The indication LFE appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.

Surround modes

The below speaker placements are for 5.1 channel surround sound system which are; Dolby Digital Dolby Pro Logic II DTS DSP DVD 6-channel (For VR-715/KRF-V5070D only)

TV / SCREEN

Dolby Pro Logic II was designed specifically to provide a new sense of spatiality, directionality and articulation of sounds from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software ). This is achieved with an intelligent, built-in marked feedback logic design, a matrix surround decoding and the decoding of stereo, full bandwidth surround outputs. The PRO LOGIC II modes programmed into this receiver are MOVIE, MUSIC and PRO LOGIC. The MOVIE mode of the PRO LOGIC II has preset characteristics to produce a calibrated, high-level surround sound playback while the MUSIC mode has user-adjustable characteristics to offer the three optional controls, like Dimension, Center Width and Panorama modes to allow optimization of the soundfields as desired. The Dimension control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear; the Center Width control allows various adjustment of the left-center-right speakers balance; the Panorama extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall imaging.

DTS mode

The DTS multi-channel audio format is available on CD, LD and DVD software. DTS is a strictly digital format and cannot be decoded inside most CD, LD or DVD players. For this reason, if you attempt to listen to DTS encoded software through the analog output of your new CD, LD or DVD player, you will experience digital noise in most cases. This noise can be quite loud if the analog output is connected directly to a high power amplification system. Proper measures for playing the digital output as described below should be taken to avoid this situation. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system or an amplifier with a built-in DTS Digital Surround decoder must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU or TosLink) of a CD, LD or DVD player. All models are incorporated with the DTS decoder. DTS has a.1 or LFE channel. The indication LFE appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.
DVD 6-channel mode (For VR-715/KRF-V5070D only)
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are superb. The indication LFE appears in the display during DVD 6-channel mode selection.

DSP mode

The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you watch a concert or sporting event!

The listening mode settings are stored separately for each input. If the input mode is set to full auto (AUTO DETECT lights), the receiver selects the optimal listening mode automatically based on the type of input signal and the speaker settings. Each press of the LISTEN MODE key switches the setting as listed. The listening mode settings are different depending on the type of input signal.

3 Adjust the volume.

Notes Depending on the type of the signal or speaker setting, some listening modes cannot be selected. When playback is started, the sound may be cut or interrupted before the input source is confirmed as Dolby Digital. To enjoy Dolby Digital surround (as well as all the other listening modes) from a single component, be sure to use a Dolby Digital compatible source component.
*5337/23-27/EN 25 27/12/02, 1:06 PM
DVD 6-channel playback (For VR-715/KRF-V5070D only)
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy surround sound playback. Connecting a DVD player which can decode the surround signal itself is also acceptable.

Adjust the volume with the controls of the DVD player. For the powered subwoofer, you can adjust the volume of the subwoofer using the subwoofers own volume control.
* The adjustment is only temporary for the current input selection. The value will return automatically to the original setup value when the power is turned on/off or when the input selection is changed. ** Pro Logic II Music mode only. 2 Use the MULTI CONTROL knob or keys to adjust the setting as desired.
Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)
When watching movies at night, you might not be able to raise the volume as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of previously specified heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the scenes with heavy sound passage and scenes with normal sound passage. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes. 1 Press the SOUND key repeatedly until NIGHT appears on the display. This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD or DVD/6CH(VR-715/KRFV5070D only), or VIDEO2 is selected as the source and the listen mode is set to DOLBY DIGITAL.
