This instruction manual is for some models. Model availability and features (functions) may differ depending on the country and sales area.
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.

Setting up the system

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.

Input mode settings

CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-615/KRF-V5060D only) 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. 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.

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.

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 each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD or DVD/6CH (VR-615/KRF-V5060D only). 2 Press the INPUT MODE key. Each press switches the setting as follows:

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. If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be produced. Press the INPUT MODE key again.

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!
DVD 6-channel mode (For VR-615/KRF-V5060D 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.

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.

Surround play

The DTS compatible models can reproduce a CD, DVD, or LD carrying the DTS mark. DOLBY DIGITAL can be used when playing DVD or LD software bearing the mark and DOLBY DIGITAL format digital broadcasts (etc.). DOLBY PRO LOGIC can be used when playing video, DVD, or LD software bearing the mark.

1 Start playing the video software. 2 Press the LISTEN MODE key to select the listening mode.
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 below. 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.
DVD 6-channel playback (For VR-615/KRF-V5060D only)
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy surround sound playback. When you try to play a disc other than Dolby Digital such as DTS CD, no sound is produced or, noise may be heard. To avoid this situation, make sure that you connect the component to the receivers DVD/6CH INPUT jacks through a surround processor which can decode the surround signal you want to listen to. Connecting a DVD player which can decode the surround signal itself is also acceptable.

The receiver is compatible with the 96kHz LPCM playback. To play a 96kHz DVD, set the listen mode to STEREO. In F-AUTO input mode, the listen mode will automatically be STEREO. When in D-MANUAL input mode (listen mode is not STEREO), FS 96kHz will appear in the display and no sound can be heard from the speakers. Press the LISTEN MODE key (the listen mode changes to the STEREO mode) to output sound from the speakers.
