automatically integrate with the your main two-channel
playback system.
If you are using a surround-sound processor, connect the front
left and right outputs of the processor to one of the inputs on
the KX-R. When configuring that input, use the left-hand
knob to select the “
Gain ” menu item and the right-hand knob to
select “ Bypass ”.
The chosen input is now programmed for Processor
Pass-Through operation, disabling the now redundant volume
control of the KX-R. When that input is selected, the KX-R is
set to unity gain (0 dB), and the volume is controlled directly
from the surround-sound processor. The volume indicator of the
KX-R will display “
PP ” to show that the Processor
Pass-Through mode has been selected for that input.
The unity gain (“ Bypass ”) setting of the Processor
Pass-Through mode will result in an excessively
high sound level with a normal source
component. Be sure to leave the “
Gain ” setting to
“ Normal ” for all other source components to
avoid possible damage to your loudspeakers.
Selecting an input where the “Gain” has been set to “Bypass”
will cause the stepper motors to rapidly move the internal
rotary switches to the unity gain setting. This results in an
audible “whirring” noise and is completely normal. The
“whirring” noise will also be heard when reverting to an input
where the “Gain” is set to “Normal”.
