Input mode settings

CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D 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. The initial factory settings for audio signal playback (CD/DVD,DVD/ 6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only)) and (VIDEO2) are digital and analog respectively. 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.

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

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 a MONITOR jack, hold down the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that the display below appears.

1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2, DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only). 2 Press the INPUT MODE key. Each press switches the setting as follows: In DTS play mode 1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) In DVD/6ch or DVD play mode 1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) 3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)(except for VR-505/KRF-V5550D) 4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound) In modes other than DTS or DVD play mode 1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound) 2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound) 3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
AUTO FM AUTO SOUND DIGITAL AM PRO LOGIC S.DIRECT MEMO MHz 3 STEREO MONITOR ST. TUNED kHz DOWN MIX DSP
To switch the setting back to VIDEO 2, once again hold down the MONITOR key for more than two seconds.
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, DTS ) 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 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.

Connecting the system control
Connecting system control cords after connecting a KENWOOD audio component system lets you take advantage of convenient system control operations. This unit is compatible only with the [SL-16] mode. The system control operation is not available if the unit is connected in the [XS8], [XS], or [XR] connection mode. If your component has the mode select switch, set the connected components to the [SL16] mode.
SYSTEM CONTROL OPERATIONS
Remote Control Lets you operate this unit with the system remote supplied with the receiver. Automatic Operation When you start playback from a source component, the input selector on this unit switches to that component automatically. Synchronized Recording Lets you synchronize recording with the start of playback when recording from CD, MD or analog discs.

SYSTEM CONTROL

SYSTEM CONTROL cord You may connect the system control cord to either the left or right jack. EXAMPLE: [SL16] mode connections The underlined portion represents the setting of the system control mode.

Registering setup codes for KENWOOD audio components (VR-506/517/KRF-V6050D/V5550D)
If you own remote controllable KENWOOD audio components that are not compatible with system control, registering the setup code enables you to control those components using the remote control supplied with this unit (without connecting system control cords). To register setup codes for your remote controllable KENWOOD audio components, see Registering setup codes for other components.
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.
Do not connect a system control cord to a cassette deck connected to the VIDEO2/MONITOR jacks.
