Adjusting Speaker Levels
Adjusting the Input Level
You can use the Sound menu to temporarily adjust the speaker levels of
your center speaker, surround speakers, and subwoofer. For example, if a
particular movie has dialog that’s hard to understand, you can tempo-
rarily increase the center channel volume just for that movie. For more
information on adjusting speaker levels permanently, see Chapter Two:
Setting Up Remote Control unit in the Connections and Setup Guide.
If the front panel CLIP indicator will flash red continually, lower the analog
input level for the source device you’re listening to. (Setting the proper in-
put level eliminates distortion that occurs if a source device’s output level
is too high. Occasional brief flashing of the CLIP indicator is okay).
1. Select the input to be adjusted (see “Selecting the Inputs” on page

What are Listen Modes?
Muting Sound
You can experience true home-theater sound with your Kenwood Audio-
Video Receiver. This receiver incorporates several listen modes to let you
enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each pro-
duces multiple channels of surround-sound, but each does it differently.
The sound can be muted temporarily.
•
Press the MUTE key on Remote Control unit. The MUTE indicator
blinks during muting.
Use one of the following methods to cancel muting.
• Stereo: Stereo listen mode provides standard stereo sound to the front
•
Adjust the Volume control on either the receiver or Remote Control
unit.
left and right speakers.
• Dolby 3 Stereo: Use Dolby 3 Stereo for systems that do not have
surround speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, surround in-
formation is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode
is designed for use with Dolby Surround sources, but can also im-
prove sound imaging and definition for programs that are not Dolby
Surround encoded.
•
Press the MUTE key again.
The MUTE indicator on the receiver panel goes off.
Midnight Theater Function (Dolby Digital playback only)
Any time you don’t want to experience the loud and soft volume extremes
of recorded sound (for example, late at night), use midnight theatre func-
tion to reduce volume extremes. This feature keeps loud, dramatic sound
from being too loud (perhaps disturbing family members or neighbors)
while ensuring that you can still hear whispered dialog or other soft sounds.
• Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding process which pro-
vides theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surround encoded
sources (such as videotape, TV programs and LaserDisc software that
are marked with the Dolby Surround logo). It offers excellent sound
movement across the front of the room and a surround ambiance
that seems to immerse you in a movie. Your receiver is equipped with
a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety
of currently available Dolby Surround home video software.
Midnight theater function only works if you are listening to a Dolby Digital
program that has been encoded with special compression data.
To use the Midnight Theater function:
1. Press the SOUND key on the receiver or Remote Control unit repeat-
edly until Midnight 1, 2 or Off is displayed.
• DSP (Digital Signal Processor): DSP allows you to create your own
custom surround sound environments and use them with any source
(except Dolby Digital and DTS). You can select the ambience of an
Arena, Jazz Club, Stadium, Cathedral or Theater, and then modify the
parameters to ‘fine-tune’ the environment to your taste. (See “Apply-
ing Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects” on page 23 for details about
making DSP adjustments.)

2. Press the LCD cursor up/down (

) key on Remote Control unit
to select Off, 1 or 2, then press the Home key.
• MPEG: MPEG, which stands for “Moving Pictures Experts Group”, is
an international standard of digital video and audio compression and
decompression in media. It is the most efficient encoding method for
compressed multi-channel audio which provides the highest sound
quality to deliver the best movie theater sound into the home.
When operating on the receiver, press the MULTI CONTROL (%/fi)
key to select Off, 1 or 2, then press the SOUND key repeatedly until
“SOUND FIXED” is displayed.

Checking the listen mode during playback
The receiver detects the recording format and adapt itself to it automati-
cally. The current surround mode can be checked as follows.
• Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based
on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. The five main
channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely
envelop you or soar anywhere in the room, just like at the movies.
1. Press the F.SHIFT =SUB.W (STATUS)* key on Remote Control unit.
Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity,
greater surround envelopment, and more realistic sound movement
between channels.

Although a full set of speakers (front left and right, center, surround
left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true Dolby Digital
surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy Dolby Digital program
sources, even if you connect fewer speakers.

After 8 seconds, the display goes off.
• DTS : DTS has five full-frequency channels that create effects nearly
identical to those in a theater. Sounds seem to zoom from one place
to another or entirely surround you. Like Dolby Digital, DTS has much-
improved clarity, surround and sound movement capability compared
with Dolby Pro Logic. This listen mode is available on CD, LD, and
DVD media. DTS is a strictly digital format that can be supplied only
by a CD, LD, or DVD player that supports DTS sound. If you attempt
to listen to DTS encoded media through the analog connections to
your new receiver, you will experience digital noise (loud static).
To set the listen mode manually:
The listen mode can be set manually except with certain input signals.
1. Press the receiver’s LISTEN MODE key or Remote Control unit’s LIS-
TEN M. key repeatedly until the desired listen mode is displayed.
Listen Mode
Dolby Prologic
F.Auto
You cannot select the Input Analog mode if you are playing DTS-encoded
media.
When playing DTS-encoded media, wait until DTS indicator is lit on the
receiver display before proceeding.
The listen mode is fixed to Stereo during playback of 96 kfs signals.
* When an operation is described as [F.SHIFT =SUB.W (STATUS) key],
for example, press the F.SHIFT key and press the Next key (the SUB.W
(STATUS) key in this case) within 8 seconds.

What are input modes?
The input mode should usually be set to Full Auto. However, the input
mode can also be set manually when you want to fix the inputs as ana-
log signals, etc. (see “Switching Input modes” on page 22).
The available surround modes may be restricted depending on the input
signal. DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG are only available if a DTS, Dolby
Digital or MPEG signal is present at the digital input.

Switching Input modes
Applying Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Effects
To fully enjoy the sonic benefits of specially-encoded DVD AUDIO discs
played on a compatible DVD player, you must set the receiver’s input to
6CH INPUT.
The DSP mode creates the reverberation devices (elements of sound ech-
oed in various spaces) which determine the feeling of presence. Since
DSP uses digital processing, it can produce these effects without soiling
the sound quality of the original music or video source.
When you are finished listening to analog media, set the receiver’s input
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of an Arena, Jazz Club, Sta-
dium, Cathedral or Theater from any PCM or analog input source. These
modes are particularly effective when used with stereo program sources
like CD, television and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the STADIUM
or ARENA mode the next time you watch a sporting event or concert.
back to FULL AUTO.
1. Press the INPUT MODE key on the receiver or press the F.SHIFT =
SOUND (INPUT MODE)* key on Remote Control unit.
2. Repeat step 1 until the desired input mode is displayed.
Input Status
Analog
You can adjust the following elements to create a customized environment:
•
•
•
The WALL TYPE parameter lets you adjust the brightness of the sonic
environment according to your preference.
F.AUTO
The ROOM SIZE parameter lets you adjust the size of the sonic envi-
ronment according to your preference.
•
•
If you turn off the receiver, select a different source device, the “Digi-
tal Auto” or “Digital manual” is reset to “Full Auto”.
The EFFECT level lets you adjust the amount of DSP “presence” in
the sonic environment according to your preference.
When you use “Digital Auto” or “Full Auto” mode with certain DVD
and LD players, performing operations such as “Skip” or “Stop” may
momentarily interrupt the output.
* When an operation is described as [F.SHIFT =SOUND (INPUT MODE)
key], for example, press the F.SHIFT key and press the Next key (the
SOUND (INPUT MODE) key in this case) within 8 seconds.

onds so that the SHIFT display appears, then select the recording de-
vice such as the VCR. For 8 seconds after the CONFIRM/SHIFT key is
pressed, the input selection signal is not transmitted from the remote
to the receiver even when an input is selected. Therefore, this period
can be used to remote control the recording device without changing
the input selection.

3. Go over all component connections slowly and methodically.
Double-check the settings on your remote.
Chapter Four: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is how you determine what part of a complex system
(like a home theater system) is at fault when the system isn’t working
how you think it should. When you troubleshoot a system, you diagnose
a problem by examining and eliminating possible causes until there’s
only one left. Troubleshooting is easiest when you start with the most
obvious, most common, and most likely and work from there.
Wrong or loose connections are the most likely cause of the most
common home entertainment problem: no sound. Use the Connec-
tion and Setup Guide to double-check your con-nections for each com-
ponent. This is especially important with VCRs, tape decks, MD re-
corders, and equalizers, where it’s very easy to swap the “play” and
“record” connections.
Diagnosing your own problems can save you time and aggravation—the
better you understand how to troubleshoot and adjust your own system,
the less time you have to:
For the VR-4090, VR-4080 and KRF-V7773D, you should also check
your Remote Control unit settings carefully. Did you set the input to
the correct component? (you can also check the front panel of the
receiver) Are you trying to listen to an analog source using a digital
connection?
•
•
spend on the phone with a customer service representative
do without your receiver because it’s “in the shop”
4. Cables (especially old ones) go bad more frequently than com-
ponents do.
There are some basic steps to good troubleshooting:
1. Verify the exact conditions when the problem occurs.
Always suspect the cable before its component. For one thing, it’s easier
to test: simply swap the cable with one connected to a component
you know is working. If the problem component works now, it was
the cable. You can generally purchase new cables at most home elec-
tronics stores, or via the Internet.
This is the most important step in troubleshooting. Whether you fix
it yourself or have to describe it to a technician, you are much more
likely to really solve the problem if you know the exact circumstances
surrounding the problem. For example, if you don’t hear anything
through the speakers, it’s useful to know if it only happens when you
are listening to CDs. Knowing that eliminates the speakers themselves
as part of the problem. The more you know about when a problem
occurs, the more likely it is that you or the technician can solve it.
5. User error is more likely than component failure.
You probably don’t want to hear this, but it’s true. Use this manual to
go over the steps to operate the receiver. Refer to the other compo-
nents’ manuals as well.
2. Check each part of the signal’s path from source (such as a CD
player) to speaker.
6. Instruction manuals are your friend.
A good rule of thumb is to check the manual when something doesn’t
work how you expected it to. If you read the manual before calling
the store or taking the component back, you may find the solution to
your problem much more quickly.
You may also want to test the assumptions you made in step 1: maybe
you haven’t listened to your MD recorder in a while— is there no
sound from it as well? This step will really help narrow down the
possible causes. Test all your connected components and eliminate
the ones where the problem doesn’t occur. When you’re done with
this step, you’ll probably have found the problem.
The rest of this chapter presents some common problems, grouped by
type, and the steps you can take to resolve them.

1 Turn off the receiver, disconnect the positive and negative speaker
wires of the RIGHT FRONT speaker from the receiver, and turn
the receiver back on.
• The speaker settings—you will need to reset your speaker settings

Reset the cleared settings before operating the receiver again.
2 If the STANDBY indicator stops flashing, replace this wire.
The sound is distorted, and the CLIP indicator on the receiver’s
front panel flashes red continually, or stays red for more than 1
second at a time
3 If the STANDBY indicator does not stop flashing, turn off the re-
ceiver, reconnect the speaker wires, and repeat the first step for the
next speaker.
Lower the analog input level for the source component you’re listening
to. (Setting the proper input level eliminates distortion that occurs if a
source component’s output level is too high. When this happens, the
front panel CLIP indicator will flash red continually or remain red for
periods of 1 second or longer. Occasional brief flashing of the CLIP indi-
cator is okay). Adjust the analog input level for that component: See “Ad-
justing the Input level” on page 15 of this manual.
