If you do not have the correct cables, youmay purchase these cables from any home entertain-ment store or by visiting the Kenwood USA Website: www.kenwoodusa.com (for USA and Canadaonly).To make coaxial digital connections, be sure to use ahigh-quality digital audio cable, not a standardaudio cable.Do not plug in the receiver or any other device toAC power until all connections have been made.Once all devices have been connected, you may plugthem in and provide power.Important:Your new receiver requires adequate ventilation toperform reliably.

This can cause yournew receiver to malfunction.Before You BeginThis manual covers the most common and standardconnections to the receiver. Because of its versatility,you may decide to connect your devices differently.Before making any video connections to the yourreceiver:• You can use either S-Video or standard compos-ite (RCA) video connections.• If all of your video devices and TV have S-Videoconnectors, we suggest that you use themexclusively, since it will provide superior videoperformance.• If only some of your video devices and TV haveS-Video connectors, you can still use them forthose devices and the TV. Use the compositeconnectors for your devices that don’t have S-Video connectors. In this case you’ll also have toconnect the receiver’s composite Video Monitoroutput to your TV for your non S-Video devicesand switch between inputs on TV.• If your TV doesn’t have S-Video connectors, youcan’t use S-Video connections for any of yourvideo devices. Use the composite connectorsexclusively.• If your TV does not have any video connectionsat all (it only has antenna connections), youmust purchase an RF modulator that convertsvideo signals into antenna signals to use it withthe VR-3100/VR-3090/KRF-V9992D. You shouldbe able to find an RF modulator at a storespecializing in electronic parts.• If you plan on using the VR-3100 in a Dual-Zoneapplication (see Chapter Three), you must usethe composite video connections in addition toany S-Video connections. Only video sourcesconnected with composite connectors can beviewed in the second zone.
