Preparations
Make connections as shown in the following pages.
When connecting the related system components, be sure
to also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the
components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Notes
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are
imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.
2. 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.
3. Do not connect power cords from components whose power consump-
tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.
Setting up the system
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format
available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be
decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this
reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog
outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited.
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions
should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected
directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder
system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or
TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks
The receiver’s VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two different
ways. Make the appropriate setting for the component connected to the
jack when the receiver is turned on.
Use as a VIDEO 2 jack
You can connect a video deck or the like to these jacks and perform
video playback and recording. The initial factory setting is “VIDEO 2”.
Use as a MONITOR jack
You can connect a cassette deck or the like to these jacks and make use
of the deck’s monitoring function during recording. Alternately, you can
connect a graphic equalizer to these jacks to apply compensation to the
music signal.
To use the VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks as a MONITOR jack, hold down
the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that
the display below appears.
To switch the setting back to “VIDEO 2,” once again hold down the
MONITOR key for more than two seconds.

Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer
stereo audio signal in an “analog” form. This means the audio signal
corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have
2 plugs each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left
channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or
are available at your local electronics retailer.

Input mode settings
CD/DVD, VIDEO2 and DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only)
inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each
connected component.
The initial factory settings for audio signal playback (CD/DVD,DVD/
6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only)) and (VIDEO2) are digital
and analog respectively.
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you
have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the input
mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the
steps below.
1 Use the INPUT SELECTOR knob to select CD/DVD, VIDEO2,
DVD/6ch or DVD (VR-505/KRF-V5550D only).
2 Press the INPUT MODE key.
Each press switches the setting as follows:
In DTS play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
In DVD/6ch or DVD play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3 6ch INPT (DVD/6ch input)(except for VR-505/KRF-V5550D)
4 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
In modes other than DTS or DVD play mode
1 D-AUTO (digital input, auto sound)
2 D-MANUAL (digital input, manual sound)
3 ANALOG (analog input, manual sound)
Digital input:
Select this setting to play digital signals from a DVD, CD, or LD player.
Analog input:
Select this setting to play analog signals from a cassette deck, VCR,
or record player.
Auto sound:
In the auto sound mode (AUTO SOUND indicator lights), the receiver
selects the listening mode automatically during playback to match the
type of input signal (Dolby Digital, PCM, DTS ) and the speaker setting.
The initial factory setting is auto sound on.
To keep the receiver set to the currently selected listening mode, use
the INPUT MODE key to select “D-MANUAL” (manual sound).
However, even when this setting is selected, there may be cases in
which the listening mode is selected automatically to match a Dolby
Digital source signal depending on the combination of listening mode
and source signal.
If the INPUT MODE key is pressed quickly, sound may not be
produced.
