Welcome to the Connection and Setup Guide for your new
Kenwood audio-video receiver.
The KRF-X9995D offers 3 kinds of 5.1-channel digital de-
coding:
• Dolby Digital, for the hundreds of currently available
Dolby Digital DVDs and LaserDiscs.
• DTS, a well-established multichannel format in movie
theaters, is available for home theater on LaserDisc and
DVD.
• MPEG Multichannel, a well-established multichannel
format in movie theaters, is available for home theater
on LaserDisc and DVD.
The KRF-X9995D also offers 2 kinds of 6.1-channel digital
decoding:
• THX Surround EX technology reproduces a surround
back channel from software which has been specially
encoded with Surround EX.
• DTS-ES also creates a 6.1-channel surround environment
by adding the surround back signals. The KRF-X9995D
can handle both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 featuring recording
of all channels in the digital discrete format and DTS-
ES Matrix 6.1 featuring matrix encoding.
In addition, the KRF-X9995D offers the following surround
features.
• DTS-NEO:6: This converts 2-channel signals into 6.1-
channel signals by means of a high-accuracy digital
matrix decoder.
• Dolby Pro Logic II: This is advanced version of Dolby
Pro Logic and features improved audio quality.
• THX Ultra: This corrects signals in order to reproduce a
similar acoustic field to movie theaters in home use.
