KR-V9090/8090 (En/T) 1 AUDIO VIDEO SURROUND RECEIVER KR-V9090 KR-V8090 INSTRUCTION MANUAL KENWOOD CORPORATION This manual contains instructions for two models. Model availability and features (functions) may differ depending on country and sales area. About the supplied remote control . . . Remote Control Other Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has several operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In order to effectively use the remote control it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain a proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.). Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation modes may result in incorrect operations.

KR-V9090/8090 (En/T) Before applying the power Units are designed for operation as follows. U.K. and Europe ....................................................................... AC 230 V only For the United Kingdom Factory fitted moulded mains plug 1.The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse. 2.The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug. 3.Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer. If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue : Neutral Brown : Live Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a three-pin plug. Preparations Operations Other REQUIREMENT BY NEDERLAND GAZETTE Batteries are supplied with this product. When they empty, you should not throw away. Instead, hand them in as small chemical waste.

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 directivity enhancer circuit to control the Left, Center, Right and Surround channel audio signals and reproduce a real sense of sound motion . The 3 STEREO mode uses the directivity enhancer circuit to provide proper acoustic positioning and a real sense of sound motion even when only the front and center speakers are used. Preparations Operations Other New 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" and "STADIUM", to add the "presence" associated with an arena, jazz club or stadium to the original signal. It is compatible with almost any kind of program source. Universal IR (InfraRed) remote control In addition to the basic receiver operations, 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 fi have connected. Dual IR emitters This remote control has two IR emitters: one to send commands in a straight line over long distances, allowing you to control the receiver and your other components from farther away; and one for wide dispersion of commands in a closer proximity, for near-field operation even when the remote control is not pointed directly at the respective component. # MACRO play The MACRO function lets you perform a series of operations automatically, like turning ON the power of the receiver and connected components, switching the input selectors, and starting playback. (Be sure to register your components before starting the macro set up procedure.) ·q FutureSet, automatic update feature (KR-V9090 only) This function lets you update the remote control so it can operate new components which do not appear in the setup code e list at the end of the manual. Therefore, the remote control will always be compatible. RDS (Radio Data System) tuner The receiver is equipped with a RDS tuner that provides several convenient 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 Lets you tune stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear. · EON (Enhanced Other Networks) reservation The EON function lets you monitor information on other stations so you can receive traffic, news, or information programs as soon as they are broadcast, even they are broadcast on a station different from the one you are currently listening to. When the broadcast ends, the receiver returns to the original station. When listening to Kenwood source components connected with system control cords, the input selector on the receiver automatically switches to the tuner when a program you desire is broadcast. º Special features KR-V9090/8090 (En/T) New TRAITR transistor adopted in the final stage A new TRAITR transistor which features superior temperature tracking characteristics has been adopted in the final stage of the power amplifier block. This new TRAITR transistor combines a temperature compensation resistor with an emitter resistor and final transistor to provide ideal temperature compensation characteristics and minimize distortion caused by temperature variations. 5 How to use this manual This manual is divided in to four sections, Preparations, Operations, Remote Control, and Other. Preparations Shows you how to connect your audio and video components to the receiver and prepare the surround processor. We've tried 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 Shows you how to operate the various functions available ...
