Listening  
position  
Surround speaker  
Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before  
plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/  
unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power  
cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit.  
Surround speaker  
Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections  
are imperfect, the sound and video may not be produced or  
there will be noise interference.  
Surround Back speaker  
If this unit is installed in the proximity of a source of magnetism  
such as a magnet, color irregularities due to interference with the  
speakers may be observed on the TV monitor screen. Be careful in  
the installation.  
(6.1ch)  
Surround Back speaker (7.1ch)  
Front speakers  
Install in the front left and right positions. Symmetrical  
installation is ideal. The front speakers are always used regardless  
of the listen mode.  
Microcomputer malfunction  
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears,  
even though all connections have been made properly, reset the  
microcomputer by referring to <Resetting the microcomputer>.  
ˆ
Center speaker  
Install in the front center position. This speaker improves  
the acoustic image positioning and reproduction of sound  
movement.  
Surround speakers  
Install straight on or slightly behind the left and right of the  
listening position, at in an as high as possible height (ideally  
one meter above the height of the listener’s ears). Symmetrical  
installation is ideal. The surround speakers reproduce the feeling  
of movement and presence of sound.  
¤CAUTION  
The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off  
from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off.  
Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily  
accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the  
power cord from the wall outlet.  
Subwoofer  
In general, install on the front center position near the front  
speakers. The subwoofer reproduces the powerful bass effects. As  
it is less directional to other speakers, it can be installed so that  
the bass can be reproduced best according to the listening room  
layout.  
¤CAUTION  
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation  
will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.  
Surround Back speakers  
Install on the rear of the listening position, at the same height as  
the surround speakers.  
When only one surround back speaker is installed, the system  
becomes a 6.1-channel surround system. When two surround  
back speakers are installed, it becomes a 7.1-channel surround  
system.  
Do not install the unit on the rear, side or top panel.  
Do not cover the unit with a cloth or install the unit on a  
carpet or mattress.  
Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated place.  
This unit is using the cooling fan. Do not place the unit  
onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet, or similar. Sucked-in dust can  
cause fire.  
Ideal surround play is possible when all of the speakers above  
are installed. If the center speaker and/or the subwoofer is not  
installed, the system optimizes playback according to the current  
system by assigning the sound of absent channels to other  
speakers.  
Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside  
dimension including projection) equal to or greater than,  
shown below.

Using the HDMI function  
An HDMI/DVI converter cable is necessary to connect a TV  
monitor with a DVI input terminal. The TV monitor also needs  
to be compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents  
Protection). Note that the video may be unable to be monitored  
depending on the combined components.  
The HDMI setup is required to use the HDMI function. First enable  
the HDMI input as described in <HDMI input setup - "HDMI  
Input"> .  
Flow of video signal  
Use an HDMI-certified category 2 cable (High Speed HDMI™  
Cable) for the connection.  
The digital video signal input from the HDMI input terminal is  
output only at the HDMI monitor output terminal.  
KRF-V9300D only :  
The video up-conversion function can output the video signal  
input from the VIDEO, S-VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO terminals  
at the HDMI output terminal. (See <Video up-conversion  
function> *.)  
When components are connected through the HDMI connection,  
it takes a certain period before the video/audio are output  
because they need mutual authentication.  
If the video and/or audio are not output normally, turn all of the  
connected components off then on, and try again.  
Flow of audio signal  
The digital audio signal input from the HDMI input terminal  
is output at the speakers connected to this unit. It can also be  
output at the TV monitor connected to this unit according to the  
HDMI setup. (See <HDMI setup> .)

Dolby Digital  
Dolby Headphone  
Digital multi-channel audio standard developed by Dolby  
Laboratories. It supports transmission and recording of high-  
quality digital audio signals from monaural up to 5.1 channels  
using an amount of data that is a fraction of the PCM audio  
format. The main features of Dolby Digital include:  
This stereo audio technology has been developed by Dolby  
Laboratories and Lake DSP (presently Dolby Australia) and  
features reproduction of surround audio through stereo  
headphones.  
• Downmixing optimized for monaural, stereo and Pro Logic  
configurations as well as for playback of 6.1-channel audio.  
Dolby Virtual Speaker  
This is a speaker virtual technology that can generate an ideal 5.1-  
channel home theater environment using only a pair of speakers.  
• Transfer of information related to the dynamic range and the  
conversation level adjustment.  
• Wide range of operating bit rates.  
DTS Digital Surround  
Digital surround format developed by DTS Corporation. It  
features low compression rate and high sound quality, and is  
capable of reproducing max. 5.1 channels.  
Dolby Digital EX/Dolby EX  
These extensions of Dolby Digital add the surround back channel  
to the Dolby Digital channels to deliver a surround effect with  
enhanced presence and listener envelopment.  
DTS-ES  
This is a 6.1-channel audio technology developed by adding the  
surround back channel to DTS Digital Surround.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
This is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby  
Laboratories. It generates 5-channel surround audio with  
rich feeling of presence from any stereo source, delivering an  
excellent multidimensional sound field effect even from an  
ordinary stereo music content including CD music. It offers three  
modes including the Movie mode optimized for movie playback,  
the Music mode for music playback and the Game mode for  
game play.  
The signal of this format can also be played on existing DTS 5.1-  
channeel components. DTS-ES consists of two types, which are  
DTS ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1.  
DTS-ES Matrix  
With this format, the audio for the surround back channel added  
to the DTS 5.1-channel audio is allocated to the two surround  
channels during recording. When the signal is decoded, the audio  
for the surround back channel is restored from the surround  
channels to deliver the 6.1-channel audio.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Matrix decoding technology developed by improving Dolby  
Pro Logic II. It accepts any stereo or 5.1-channel audio input  
and generates 7.1-channel surround audio with a more natural,  
smoother surround sound field. It also offers three modes  
optimized for each source content, including the Movie mode  
for movie playback, the Music mode for music playback and the  
Game mode for game play.  
DTS-ES Discrete  
With this format, the audio for the surround back channel added  
to the DTS 5.1-channel audio is recorded in an independent  
channel.  
Dolby Digital Plus  
DTS Neo:6  
This is an audio technology developed based on Dolby Digital by  
improving both the sound quality and functions. It delivers multi-  
channel surround audio with completely discrete channels. The  
compatible bit rates have been expanded to between 32 kbps  
and 6 Mbps from between 96 and 640 kbps with Dolby Digital.  
This is a matrix decoding technology developed by DTS  
Corporation, capable of delivering max. 6.1 channels from any  
2-channel source. It includes two modes, including the DTS Neo 6  
CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback and the DTS Neo 6  
MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.  
The excellent coding efficiency makes this technology capable  
of delivering quality audio in max. 7.1 channels without  
affecting the bit rates assigned for the video and other services.  
Compatibility with existing home theater systems incorporating  
the Dolby Digital technology is also secured.  
DTS 96/24  
5.1-channel digital audio format developed as an evolution of the  
DTS 5.1-channel format. It enables high-quality playback with 96  
kHz sampling frequency and 24-bit quantization (the signal of  
this format can also be reproduced on existing DTS 5.1-channel  
player components).  
Dolby True HD  
This loss-less (reversible) audio technology has been developed  
by Dolby Laboratories and reproduces high-quality studio-  
mastered audio data perfectly with bit-order accuracy. It is  
compatible with up to 7.1 channels when the sampling frequency  
is 95 kHz and up to 5.1 channels when the sampling frequency is  
192 kHz.

Glossary  
DTS−HD Master Audio  
This loss-less (reversible) audio technology has been developed  
by DTS Corporation and reproduces audio in the same high  
quality as the studio-mastered audio data. With 96 kHz sampling  
frequency and 24-bit quantization, it is compatible with max.  
7.1 channels. This technology can be played with any of seven  
speaker layout patterns, making the content producer capable  
of delivering the intended sound effects in a variety of audio  
reproduction environments of users.  
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
This is an extension of the previous DTS audio format and can  
record 7.1-chanenl audio with 96 kHz sampling frequency and 24  
quantization bits. The multi-channel sound recorded with DTS-  
HD High Resolution Audio can reproduce details more clearly and  
realistically than the audio of DVD-Video.  
This technology can also be played with any of seven speaker  
layout patterns, making the content producer capable of  
delivering the intended sound effects in a variety of audio  
reproduction environments of users.  
DTS-HD Low Bit Rate  
One of the DTS-HD audio formats. It is the low bit rate for use in  
communications including the Internet communications.  
HDMI  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a standard  
developed based on DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and features the  
capability of transferring both non-compressed digital video and  
multi-channel digital audio through a single cable.  
This unit is compatible with the HDMI optional functions listed  
below.  
• Deep Color  
Video signals with a larger number of bits per color component  
than ordinary 8 bits, such as the 10-bit and 12-bit signals can be  
transferred to achieve richer expression of gradations.  
• x.v.Color  
A larger variety of colors, or about 180% more colors than the  
number of colors of sRGB color space, can be reproduced.
