automatically integrate with the your main two-channel playback system.
If you are using a surround-sound processor, connect the front left and right outputs of the processor to one of the inputs on the KX-R. When configuring that input, use the left-hand
Gain Bypass knob to select the “Gain” menu item and the right-hand knob to select “Bypass”.
The chosen input is now programmed for Processor Pass-Through operation, disabling the now redundant volume control of the KX-R. When that input is selected, the KX-R is set to unity gain (0 dB), and the volume is controlled directly from the surround-sound processor. The volume indicator of the KX-R will display “PP” to show that the Processor Pass-Through mode has been selected for that input.
The unity gain (“Bypass”) setting of the Processor Pass-Through mode will result in an excessively high sound level with a normal source component. Be sure to leave the “Gain” setting to “Normal” for all other source components to avoid possible damage to your loudspeakers.
Selecting an input where the “Gain” has been set to “Bypass” will cause the stepper motors to rapidly move the internal rotary switches to the unity gain setting. This results in an audible “whirring” noise and is completely normal. The “whirring” noise will also be heard when reverting to an input where the “Gain” is set to “Normal”.
