Receiver Features
KAM-1 Power Amplifier Circuitry:
This exclusive Kenwood modular amplifier circuit doubles electrical efficiency,
producing more power while generating less heat. KAM-1 offers superior sound
quality and reliability.
96kHz/24-bit
Audio D/A Conversion:
This unit will accept and play 96kHz/24 bit linear PCM digital audio.
Dolby Pro
Logic II: Pro Logic II is
a Dolby Laboratories technology that produces surround sound from any stereo
source, including CDs, VHS tapes, and TV programs. Like Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro
Logic II has stereo surround output, giving you a more realistic surround sound
experience. Unlike Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II allows you to enjoy a
"5.1-like" presentation using any analog stereo source. Pro Logic II
includes a Movie mode, Music mode, and standard four-channel Pro Logic decoding
mode. The music mode gives you three additional sound adjustments: Panorama
Mode, Dimension Mode and Center Width Mode.
Surround Modes: This
receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum
enjoyment from your video software. The surround modes include:
- Dolby Digital
- Dolby Pro Logic II
(Movie and Music)
- DTS
- Arena
- Jazz Club
- Stadium
- Theater
- Disco
Midnight Mode (Dolby
Digital Mode Only): Anytime
you don't want to experience the loud and soft volume extremes of recorded
sound, use the Midnight Mode to reduce volume extremes. This feature keeps loud,
dramatic sound from being too loud while ensuring that you can still hear
whispered dialogue or other soft sounds.
Cinema EQ: During
Dolby Digital and DTS playback, you can enjoy a more impressive sound effect by
switching on the Cinema EQ.
Display Dimmer: The
display brightness may be set to one of three available settings.
Inputs/Outputs Note:
The Audio/Video input labeled "DVD/6-Ch Input" combines the DVD analog
input with the multi-channel input for an external decoder. If you are
connecting a DVD player using the stereo analog inputs, you should use the Front
Left and Right RCA jacks of this input. If you are connecting an external
5.1-channel decoder or a DVD player with built-in Dolby Digital (and/or DTS)
decoding, you should use all 6 RCA jacks (Front L+R, Surround L+R, Center and
Subwoofer). In addition to the 6 audio input jacks, there are composite and
S-Video jacks.
Remote
Control
RC-R0728 IR Multibrand Remote:
The supplied joystick remote communicates with the receiver via infrared
transmission. It is pre-programmed to operate this unit and a number of
functions on other Kenwood components, including cassette decks, CD players, MD
recorders/players, and DVD players. In addition, the remote can operate the
basic functions of many other brands of TVs, Cable boxes, DSS/SAT receivers,
VCRs, and DVD players.
System Control: This
receiver is equipped with two Kenwood SL16 system control jacks. Certain Kenwood
CD players, cassette decks and mini-disc recorders that are connected to this
receiver through the SL16 control jacks can utilize the following system control
operations:
- Automatic Operation:
When you start playback from a source component, the input selector on the
receiver switches to that component automatically.
- Remote Control:
You can operate the connected component with the receiver's remote control.
- Synchronized Recording:
You can synchronize recording with the start of playback when recording from
CD, MD or analog discs.

SW-36HT
Powered Subwoofer Features
Driver and Enclosure: The
SW-35HT has an 8" front-firing woofer powered by a 100-watt amplifier. For
extended bass response, the woofer is loaded in a bass-reflex enclosure with a
front-firing port.
Auto On/Off Circuit:
When a signal is received, the subwoofer amplifier turns on automatically. If no
signal is sensed for approximately 12 minutes, the subwoofer enters standby
mode. The rear-mounted LED glows red when the subwoofer is in standby mode and
green when the subwoofer is active.
Controls:
A rear-mounted volume control allows you to match the output of the subwoofer to
the rest of your system. Above the volume control is a button that allows you to
turn the low-pass crossover on or off. When the crossover is turned on, the
rear-mounted crossover control allows you to adjust the crossover point from
60Hz to 200Hz.
