Sound

I don’t hear any sound at all

Check that:

The volume is set at the proper level. See “Adjusting the Volume” on page 10 of this manual.

Mute is OFF. If the MUTE indicator on the front of the receiver is blinking, MUTE is ON. See “Muting Sound” on page 16 of this manual.

The proper input (e.g., CD player, Tuner, etc.) has been selected on

the Remote Control unit. See “How Do I Operate Devices?” on page 28 of this manual.

The CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR input has not been selected. (If it has, the CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR indicator on the receiver’s front panel will be lit). See “What’s on the Front Panel of Your Kenwood Audio -

Video Receiver?” on page 2 of this manual.

The input mode matches the input signal (e.g., analog vs. digital) that

has been set. See “Switching Input modes” on page 22 of this manual.

The correct Input Mode (e.g., Auto) has been set for the digital input. See “What are Input Modes” on page 21.

The correct speakers have been activated. See “Turning the Speakers On” on page 14 of this manual.

Audio is not output only when a 96k fs compatible disc is played.

The optical cable may be bent. Use a new optical cable.

Check that the optical cable connector is connected properly.

If the disc does not have a digital soundtrack, change the input type to Analog. See “Switching Input modes” on page 22 of this manual and also read the manual of your DVD player.

Change the input type to Analog. See “Switching Input Modes” on

Sound

page 22 of this manual.

I can’t hear sound from one or more of the speakers, or the sound is abnormally low

Check that:

All of the speaker wires are connected tightly, not short circuited. See Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.

All of the speakers have been activated in the Setup Speakers menu. See Chapter Two of the Connections and Setup Guide.

The individual speaker levels are set properly. See Chapter Two of the Connections and Setup Guide.

The CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR input has not been selected. (If it has, the CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR monitor indicator on the receiver’s front panel will be lit). See “What’s on the Front Panel of Your Kenwood

Audio - Video Receiver?” on page 2 of this manual.

The correct speakers have been activated. See “Turning the Speakers On” on page 9 of this manual.

I can’t hear sound from my surround or center speakers Check that:

The proper surround play mode (Dolby 3 Stereo, Dolby Pro Logic, DSP, DTS or Dolby Digital) has been selected. See “What are Listen Modes?” on page 17 of this manual.

All of the speaker wires are connected tightly. See Chapter One of the Connections and Setup Guide.

I can hear sound only from the center speaker when Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby 3 Stereo is selected

Check that the program (e.g., TV show, radio station, VCR tape) is in stereo. Programs in mono play only through the center speaker when the receiver is in the Dolby Pro Logic listen mode.

Sound from one (or more) of my components is abnormally loud or soft

Adjust the analog input level for that component: See “Adjusting the input level” on page 15 of this manual.
