The digital in jacks can accept DTS, Dolby Digital (AC-3), or PCM signals. Connect components capable of outputting DTS, Dolby Digital (AC-3), or standard PCM (CD) format digital signals.

If you have connected any digital components to the receiver, be sure to read the “Input mode settings” section on this page carefully.

Setting up the system

Input mode settings

CD, DVD, VIDEO2 and VIDEO3 (KRF-V7030D 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 setting is to use the digital audio signal for playback (CD, DVD, VIDEO2, VIDEO3).

To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 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.

LD player

To connect an LD player with a DIGITAL RF OUT, connect the LD player to the KENWOOD RF digital demodulator (DEM-9991D).

Next, connect the DIGITAL OUT jacks of the demodulator to the DIGITAL IN jacks of the receiver.

Connect the video signal and analog audio signals to the VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 (KRF-V7030D only) jacks. (See "Connecting video components".)

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.
