The DOLBY DIGITAL (AC-3) mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format. Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides up to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

Dolby Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo

video software marked .

The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals.

The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.

DVD 6-channel input

If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver allows you to obtain the full surround sound impact of DVD source material featuring multi-channel encoding. Since the source signals are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting ambience is far superior to what can be achieved with conventional surround sound systems.a

The receiver is equipped with a RDS tuner that provides several convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset up to 30 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY search to let you tune stations by program type.

PTY (Program TYpe) search

Lets you tune stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks) reservation

The EON function lets you monitor information on other stations so you can receive traffic or news programs as soon as they are broadcast, even they are broadcast on a station different from the one you are currently listening to. When the broadcast ends, the receiver returns to the original station. When listening to KENWOOD source components connected with system control cords, the input selector on the receiver automatically switches to the tuner when a program you desire is broadcast.
