Special featuresHow to use this manual
This manual is divided into four sections, Preparations, Operations,
Remote Control, and Additional Information.
Preparations
Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the
receiver and prepare the surround processor.
We will guide you to make setting up your system as easy as possible.
However, since this receiver works with all of your audio and video
components, connecting the system can be fairly complex.
Operations

receiver.
Remote Control (KRF-V6050D only)
Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control,
as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once

be able to operate both this receiver and your other AV components (TV,
VCR, DVD player, CD player, etc.) using the remote control supplied with
this receiver.
Additional Information

True home theater sound
This receiver 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 Pro Logic & Dolby 3 Stereo
This surround system reproduces theater-like surround sound from
video software marked
.
The PRO LOGIC mode uses the built-in adaptive matrix circuit to steer
the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals.
The 3 STEREO mode will redirect the Surround signal to the front left and
right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.
Dolby Digital
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.
DTS
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.
In the DTS mode, the 5.1 channel digital input from a DTS CD, LD or DVD
disc (carrying the “DTS” marking) can be played in Digital Surround.
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.
DSP surround modes
The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) used for this receiver 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
If you own a DVD player equipped with 6-channel output, this receiver
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.
Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control (KRF-V6050D only)
In addition to the basic receiver, the remote control supplied with this
receiver can also operate almost all of your remote controllable audio and
video components. Just follow the simple setup procedure to register the
components you have connected.
RDS (Radio Data System) tuner
The receiver is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several conve-
nient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset up to 40
RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name display, to
show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY search to let
you tune stations by program type.
PTY (Program TYpe) search
Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.
