Center speaker

Do not plug the power cord into the power outlet until all of the

required connections have been made.

• Never short-circuit the + and – speaker cords.• If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or if the speaker

cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound becomes un-natural with ambiguous acoustic image positioning. Be sure to con-nect the speakers and speaker cords correctly.

Setting up surround mode

What are surround modes?You can experience true home-theater sound with your Kenwood XD-DV9. This system incorporates several listen

modes to let you enjoy surround sound with a wide variety of program sources. Each produces multiple channels

of surround-sound, but each does it differently.

Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital uses an encode/decode process based on its theatrical digital surround sound technology. Thefive main channels are full-frequency and independent, so sound can completely envelop you or soar anywhere in the room,just like at the movies.

Compared with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital has more clarity, greater surround envelopment, and more realistic soundmovement between channels.

Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding process which provides theater-like surround sound from Dolby Surroundencoded sources (such as videotape and LaserDisc software that are marked with the Dolby Surround logo). It offers excellentsound movement across the front of the room and a surround ambiance that seems to immerse you in a movie. Your systemis equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic surround decoder to let you enjoy the wide variety of currently available Dolby Surroundhome video software.

Dolby 3 Stereo: Use Dolby 3 Stereo for systems that do not have surround speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode,surround information is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed for use with Dolby Surroundsources, but can also improve sound imaging and definition for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.
