Items such as functions, number of jacks, and remote control details somewhat differ between these models. To confirm the functions available on the model you have purchased, refer to the table below. Model name Remote Control RC-R0615 RC-R0511 RC-R0617 Terminal Front input Equipped Not equipped Equipped (except KRFV5550D) Special features 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. Speaker out 2 systems (A, B) 1 system 1 system Preparations VR-506 KRF-V6050D VR-505 KRF-V5050D VR-517 KRF-V5550D 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. 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. 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. Operations Shows you how to operate the various functions available on the receiver. Remote Control (For VR-506/517/KRF-V6050D/V5550D only) Shows you how to operate other components using the remote control, as well as a detailed explanation of all remote control operations. Once you have registered your components with the proper setup codes, you'll 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. 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. Additional Information Shows you additional information such as "In case of difficulty" (troubleshooting) and "Specifications". DVD 6-channel input (For VR-506/517/KRF-V6050D/V5050D only) 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.

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. 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. 9 DTS disclaimer clause DTS Digital SurroundTM 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 SurroundTM playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player. INPUT SELECTOR 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. INPUT MODE 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) MONITOR SP A B TI.VOL CLIP MUTE RDS EON PTY TP TA NEWS L LFE C S R SW AUTO FM AUTO SOUND DIGITAL AM PRO LOGIC S.DIRECT MEMO MHz 3 STEREO MONITOR ST. TUNED kHz DOWN MIX DSP To switch the setting back to "VIDEO 2," once again hold down the MONITOR key for more than two seconds. 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. 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 consumption is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit. 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.
