Items such as functions, number of jacks, and remote control details differ somewhat between these models. To confirm the functions available on the model you have purchased, refer to the table below. Model name KRF-V6050D Remote Control RC-R0616 RC-R0512 Terminal Speaker out Front input 2 systems (A, B) 1 system Equipped Not equipped 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. Preparations KRF-V5050D This manual is divided into four sections, Preparations, Operations, Remote Control, and Additional Information. 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. 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 from the 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 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 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 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.
