Kenwood HTB-706DV Quick Start Manual

Congratulations!
The HTB-706DV Home Theater System will make watching
movies at home more fun than ever. Follow the instructions on
this side of the sheet to connect the speakers to the receiver;
follow the instructions on the other side to connect the DVD
player to the receiver . To learn how to operate your receiver
please read and follow the instruction manual included in the
receiver's box. If you're also connecting other equipment, such
as a TV, VCR, CD player or other source component, use the
receiver's manual in combination with the manuals that came
with those components.
Placing Your Speakers
Place the speakers as shown in the diagram below. While
you're setting the speakers up, keep these points in mind:
• If the subwoofer causes discoloration of the TV picture, move
it away from the TV until the discoloration disappears.
• Since the center speaker is magnetically shielded, you can
place it right on top of the TV without worrying about
picture discoloration.
• You can hang the speakers on the wall using heavy-duty
picture hangers.
• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall yields more deep bass
output than placing it away from a wall. Placing the sub-
woofer in a corner yields the deepest bass output overall.
Connecting Your Speakers

Connect the speakers as shown in the main diagram.
In each case, connect the colored speaker wire to the
corresponding terminals on the speaker and receiver.
To make connecting the speakers easier, we have color-coded
the speaker wire, placed corresponding color
identification dots on the speaker labels, labeled the
terminals on the receiver, and pre-stripped the insulation from
the ends of the wire.
DO NOT PUSH THE WIRE TOO FAR INTO THE SPEAKER
TERMINALS AS THIS WILL NOT ALLOW THE WIRE TO MAKE
PROPER CONTACT.

Setting Up Your Receiver
The receiver has a Quick Setup procedure that makes this easy. After
you've made all of the connections, follow these steps. (You'll be using
the remote control):
Balancing the Speakers
Your receiver comes with the speaker volume settings pre-balanced.
If you have positioned the speakers as shown in the diagram your
system will create a spacious surround sound environment right out
of the box with no further adjustment required.
If your room is arranged differently than shown in the diagram, or if
you simply want to fine-tune your system's performance, you can
easily change the volumes of the individual speakers to get a better
balance:
1. Press and hold the TUNER button for at least 3 seconds to put the
remote into the receiver control mode.
2. Press the SETUP button once. The display will read "SP SETUP".
3. Press the 'up' MULTI CONTROL button once. The display will change
to "TEST TONE".
4. Press the SETUP button once again. The display will read "AUTO".
5. Press the 'up' MULTI CONTROL button once again. The display will
read "MANUAL".
6. Press the SETUP button repeatedly until the speaker you want to
adjust appears on the display. You will hear test noise through the
speaker.
7. Use the 'up' and 'down' MULTI CONTROL buttons to increase and
decrease the speaker's volume.
8. Do not be concerned with the volume level readout on the display
while you're adjusting the speakers—this is for reference purposes
only. However, once you have balanced all the speakers you should
write each speaker's volume setting down here for reference:
LEFT RIGHT CENTER LEFT RIGHT
FRONT FRONT SURROUND SURROUND
9. Press the SETUP button repeatedly until the display reads "EXIT".
Press the SETUP button once more to exit the setup mode.
Setting the Speaker Distances
This last step adjusts the timing of all the speakers so that their
sound arrives at the listening location at the proper time.
1. Press and hold the TUNER button for at least 3 seconds to put the
remote into the receiver control mode.
2. Measure the distance from each speaker to your seat. Write the
distances down.
3. Press the SETUP button once. The display will read "SP SETUP".
4. Press the 'up' MULTI CONTROL button twice. The display will
change to "DISTANCE".
5. Press the SETUP button once. The display will read "10FT 3.0M"
and the left & right speaker icons will flash.
6. Press the MULTI CONTROL buttons until the display matches the
distance from your left and right speakers to your listening position.
7. Press the SETUP button again and repeat step 6 for the center
speaker, and again for the surround speakers.
8. When you've finished setting the speaker distances, press the
SETUP button 2 times to exit the setup mode.
