Chapter One: Connecting Your Devices
Welcome to the Kenwood KRF-X9992D Connection
and Setup Guide. This chapter guides you through
connecting your home entertainment devices to
your new Kenwood audio-video receiver.
Once all your devices are connected, you can set up
the PowerTouch (see Chapter Two).

ing these devices:

All necessary cables should be provided with your
home entertainment device (not with your new
receiver). If you do not have the correct cables, you
may purchase these cables from any home entertain-
ment store.
To make coaxial digital connections, be sure to use a
high-quality digital audio cable, not a standard
audio cable.
Do not plug in the receiver or any other device to
AC power until all connections have been made.
Once all devices have been connected, you may plug
them in and provide power.
Important:
Your new receiver requires adequate ventilation to
perform reliably. Be sure not to block the ventilation
area on the top or back (or both sides) of the
receiver with another device. These areas should be:
at least top; 50cm, back; 10cm, and left and right
side; 10cm
Do not install your receiver where direct sunlight or
high frequency flourescent lighting can shine
directly into the remote sensor. This can cause your
new receiver to malfunction.
Before You Begin
This manual covers the most common and standard
connections to the receiver. Because of its versatility,
you may decide to connect your devices differently.
Before making any video connections to the your
receiver :
• You can use either S-Video or standard compos-
ite (RCA) video connections.
• If all of your video devices and TV have S-Video
connectors, we suggest that you use them
exclusively, since it will provide superior video
performance.
• If only some of your video devices and TV have
S-Video connectors, you can still use them for
those devices and the TV. Use the composite
connectors for your devices that don’t have S-
Video connectors. In this case you’ll also have to
connect the receiver’s composite Video Monitor
output to your TV for your non S-Video devices
and switch between inputs on TV.
• If your TV doesn’t have S-Video connectors, you
can’t use S-Video connections for any of your
video devices. Use the composite connectors
exclusively.
• If your TV does not have any video connections
at all (it only has antenna connections), you
must purchase an RF modulator that converts
video signals into antenna signals to use it with
the KRF-X9992D. You should be able to find an
RF modulator at a store specializing in electronic
parts.
