Setting up the system

Make connections as shown in the following pages. When connecting the related system components, be sure to also 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.

Input mode settings

CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2 inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input. You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each connected component. The initial factory settings is to use the digital audio signal for playback (CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2). To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode. After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.

VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks

The receivers VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two different ways. Make the appropriate setting for the component connected to the jack when the receiver is turned on. Use as a VIDEO 2 jack You can connect a video deck or the like to these jacks and perform video playback and recording. The initial factory setting is "VIDEO 2". Use as a MONITOR jack You can connect a cassette deck or the like to these jacks and make use of the decks monitoring function during recording. Alternately, you can connect a graphic equalizer to these jacks to apply compensation to the music signal. To use the VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks as MONITOR jacks, hold down the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that the indication shown below appears.

INPUT SELECTOR

INPUT MODE

MONITOR

1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD or VIDEO2. 2 Press the INPUT MODE key. Each press switches the setting as follows: In DVD/6ch play mode 1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) 3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input) 4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound) In other mode than DVD/6ch play mode 1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) 3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)

STEREO MONITOR

To switch the setting back to "VIDEO 2", once again hold down the MONITOR key for two seconds or more.
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 sound: In the auto sound mode (AUTO SOUND indicator lights), the receiver selects the listening mode automatically during playback to match the type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM) and the speaker setting. The initial factory setting is auto sound on. To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use the INPUT MODE key to select "D-MANUAL" (manual sound). 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 signal. If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced.
Notes 1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere. 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 which power consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.

Analog connections

In order to take advantage of the system control operations, the components must be connected to the correct jacks. To use a CD player it must be connected to the CD jacks. To use a cassette deck (or MD recorder) it must be connected to the MD/TAPE jacks. When using more than one CD player (etc.) only the one connected to the specified jacks may be connected for system control. Some CD players and cassette decks are not compatible with the [SL16] system control mode. Do not make system connections with equipment that is not [SL16] compatible. Some MD players are not system control compatible. You cannot make system control connections to this kind of equipment. Notes 1. [SL16] equipment cannot be combined with [XR], [XS], and [XS8] equipment for system operations. If your equipment consists of this kind of combination, please do not connect any system control cords. Even without system control cords, normal operations can be carried out without effecting performance. 2. Do not connect system control cords to any components other than those specified by KENWOOD. It may cause a malfunction and damage your equipment. 3. Be sure the system control plugs are inserted all the way in to the system control terminals.

Connecting the speakers

1 Strip coating. 2 Push the lever. Never short circuit the + and speaker cords. If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging. Be sure to connect the speakers correctly.

3 Insert the cord.

4 Return the lever.

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.

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. ^

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic is a specially encoded 2 channel surround format designed to provide theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded sources (such as video and Laserdisc software marked ). This receiver is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Surround home video software. Surround signal is monaural.

Surround modes

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources (such as ). Compared with previLaserdisc or DVD software marked ous Dolby surround, Dolby Digital provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. Note 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.
