Chapter One: Connecting Your Devices

Connections

Welcome to the Kenwood KRF-X9992D Connection and Setup Guide. This chapter guides you through connecting your home entertainment devices to your new Kenwood audio-video receiver.

Once all your devices are connected, you can set up the PowerTouch (see Chapter Two).

All necessary cables should be provided with your home entertainment device (not with your new receiver). If you do not have the correct cables, you may purchase these cables from any home entertain- ment store.

To make coaxial digital connections, be sure to use a high-quality digital audio cable, not a standard audio cable.

Do not plug in the receiver or any other device to AC power until all connections have been made. Once all devices have been connected, you may plug them in and provide power.

Important:

Your new receiver requires adequate ventilation to perform reliably. Be sure not to block the ventilation area on the top or back (or both sides) of the receiver with another device. These areas should be:

at least top; 50cm, back; 10cm, and left and right side; 10cm

Do not install your receiver where direct sunlight or high frequency flourescent lighting can shine directly into the remote sensor. This can cause your new receiver to malfunction.

Before You Begin

This manual covers the most common and standard connections to the receiver. Because of its versatility, you may decide to connect your devices differently.

Before making any video connections to the your receiver :

•You can use either S-Video or standard compos- ite (RCA) video connections.

•If all of your video devices and TV have S-Video connectors, we suggest that you use them exclusively, since it will provide superior video performance.

•If only some of your video devices and TV have

S-Video connectors, you can still use them for

those devices and the TV. Use the composite 1 connectors for your devices that don’t have S- Video connectors. In this case you’ll also have to connect the receiver’s composite Video Monitor output to your TV for your non S-Video devices and switch between inputs on TV.

•If your TV doesn’t have S-Video connectors, you can’t use S-Video connections for any of your video devices. Use the composite connectors exclusively.

•If your TV does not have any video connections at all (it only has antenna connections), you must purchase an RF modulator that converts video signals into antenna signals to use it with the KRF-X9992D. You should be able to find an RF modulator at a store specializing in electronic parts.
