Special features

True home theater sound

This model incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you

maximum enjoyment from your video software. Select a surround mode

according to your equipment or the software you are going to play and

enjoy!

Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital EX

The DOLBY DIGITAL mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from

software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides up

to 5.1 channels of independent digital audio for better sound quality and

more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. As for Dolby

Digital EX, it creates six full-bandwidth output channels from the 5.1

channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three

surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best result,

Dolby Digital EX should be used with movie soundtracks recorded with

Dolby Digital Surround EX.

Dolby PRO LOGIC

x and Dolby PRO LOGIC II

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

II, whilst totally compatible with its predecessor

PRO LOGIC, provides greater advantages in surround sound. It allows

user to enjoy the conventional stereo or Dolby Surround with a convinc-

ing "5.1 like" presentation. PRO LOGIC

II offers special features for

controlling the overall spatial, dimensionality and frontal sound field

imaging. PRO LOGIC

II produces an impressive surround sound from

video software marked

and three-dimensional space

from music CD. When listening to music, you will be able to enjoy the

experience of sheer STEREO surround sound.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

IIx enhanced DOLBY PRO LOGICII's features.

It creates 6.1 channel and 7.1 channelsurround sound from stereo or 5.1

channel signals. This feature provides you an astonishing ambience

effect which makes you feel you are surrounded by natural sound.

Especially 7.1 channel surround sound can produce real back sound from

Surround Back speakers.

DTS and DTS-ES

DTS (Digital Theater System) is a 5.1 channel digital audio format that

provides five full-spectrum channels and one low-frequency (subwoofer)

channel for unprecedented clarity, optimum channel separation and a

(wide) dynamic range.

DTS-ES (Extended Surround) presents 6.1 channels surround system

with additional Surround back channel which evolved from the conven-

tional 5.1 channels surround system. DTS-ES format that was recorded

in DVD, CD or LD comprises of two modes. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

produces the discrete surround back which is completely independent

and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 produces the surround back which synthesized

within the left and right surround channels using matrix technology. DTS-

ES has perfect compatibility with the conventional 5.1 channels surround

system. 6.1 channels surround with an additional surround back pre-

sents a more natural presence and surround effects by increasing the

impression of the sound image from back.

Important:

When a DTS disc is played on a CD, LD or DVD player, noise may be

output from the analog output. It is recommended that you connect the

digital output of the player to the digital input of this unit.

Neo:6

Neo:6 is a new technology which was developed by DTS. It can produce

high grade 6 channels surround with an astonishing fidelity from 2

channels content. Neo:6 has 2 modes, "CINEMA" mode is for movie

playback and "MUSIC" mode is for music playback.

DSP surround modes

The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this model incorporates a

variety of high quality adjustable sound fields, like "ARENA", "JAZZ

CLUB", THEATER", STADIUM" and "DISCO". It is compatible with

almost any kind of program source.

DVD 6-channel input (KRF-V5080D only)

If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this model

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.

ACTIVE EQ

ACTIVE EQ mode will produce a more dynamic sound quality in any

condition. You can enjoy a more impressive sound effect when ACTIVE

EQ is turned on.

Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control

In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this

model can also operate KENWOOD DVD player. Just follow the simple

setup procedure.
