Hey Guys, I'm a new member. This site is cool. Can you give me some information or your own review on the Kenwood KRF V9050D receiver?
I'll appreciate your help.
THX select is for small to medium size room. There is also this THX ultra which is for a bigger area.
Yamaha does not have a THX certified receiver.
Hello!
I am planning to buy a kenwood receiver with 5.1 speakers (Package). Nag demo sila sa SM and it was very good.
Ok ba ang kenwood when it comes to reliability? Hindi ba sirain both receiver & speakers?
Comments & suggestions are welcome.
:)
Since Kenwood Receivers can be bought from 5th Avenue Branches and any Appliance Centers like Abensons and Ansons, malamang doon ka din makakabili nyan kung sakaling dumating man dito yan sa Pinas.
Based on my comparison between 9060D and 9070D, they're almost the same. Except that 9060D has 100W x 6 into 8 ohms and 9070D has 100W x 6 into 6 ohms. In short, ung 9060D hirap mag-handle ng 6 ohms while ung NEW 9070D no problem anymore.
2 Surround Back Connections:
9060D (VR - 6070) Actually has 1 Amplifier for a single surround back. Others do it this way (based sa reading sa net): they connect 2 surround back speakers in series each having 4 ohms (Total nga naman 8 ohms). But the best way is to use the 2 Surround Back Pre-outs of the Receiver and connect to an Stereo Amp before connecting to speakers. If you stereo amp has a Sub Pre-out, you can conect a sub. Imagine BASS Imaging from front to back.
See the link below and look at the bottom page. Meron doon nakabili na ng VR - 7070. Contact him for comments. Click on his name to send him e-mail.

i would suggest getting a yamaha, denon or even a pioneer receiver over a kenwood. haven't really read good reviews on the kenwoods.bunkieboy,
BTW, 9060D and DENON 1803 are using the same Processor - 32-bit Melody Processor from Analog Devices. Higher bit rate compared to other Receivers. At par with Yamaha proprietory Processor.
Hi,
Just bought my 1st HTB 2 weeks ago in the US. Got it for only $312(P16850) including 4.5% tax at Best Buy. For a small room that i have, im happy with this baby! Medyo malakas nga ang dating eh kasi 100w x 6 yung output kaya minimal volume level lang pag DTS movie ang nakasalang baka mag-reklamo nice neighbors ko! ;DKENWOOD HTB-205 DTS/DPLII[/b](http://www.kenwoodusa.com/content/product/image/medium/HTB-205.jpg)
The HTB-205 combines easy set-up with awesome surround sound. A powerful receiver (100 Watts x 6 channels) is the system's command center, providing Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding for intensely great surround sound, and it's perfect for reproducing your music as well. Five full-range speakers (left, center, right, and two surround speakers) and an 8" subwoofer fill your viewing room with sound, faithfully reproducing all of a movie's dialogue, music, and sound effects. A Kenwood System Remote is included.
KEY FEATURES
- 5 Full-Range Magnetically-Shielded Speakers
- 8" Subwoofer
- Complete Surround Sound System Including Receiver, Speakers and Subwoofer
- Dolby Digital, DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound
- Kenwood System Remote
- Surround Power: 100 Watts x 6
;D
HK receivers have HDCD decoding also.
ayus! sayang di makakasama si boss levi, oks sana yung sound & vision demo disk mo sir. OT: san nga ba nakakabili nun? see you mga sir!
Nice meeting you Narayan. I will pass by tom morning to get the SPL meter. Around 11am.
man, it's so good it feels like its been with us forever! ;D hehe...
if i remember right, we got it around a month ago.
hey guys, see you this coming saturday. ;D
Guys,
I'll meet you 9:30 AM at Mc Donald's Pedro Gil beside PCU along Taft Ave. What time will you be there?
Di ko pa masyado ma-break-in 'yong 912. lagi na ko late umuwi. siguro napatugtog ko lang 1 hour a day.
902 is now set as surround. Sana 'di malaglag. medyo mabigat 902. Around 7kg each. If you're going to ask me, 902 is heavier per unit volume than 912. duda ako doon sa pag-mount ko ng bracket. mukha di matibay.
narayan,
kelan ba kami pwede mag-audition sainyo? ;D
kelan ka na rin bibili ng 914, congrats ah!!!!
Yup. Sa setup.
Then, set the 6th channel amp to output SB.
Only then you can turn on THX Surround EX.
Remember, use THX S EX on 6.1 Source like DD-EX or DTS-ES.
Thanks bro. Try ko rin and let you know. Hanap muna ako ng tamang material.
nels76.
Guys,
Just want to share this pix.

Nels,
Nice meeting sir.. hope someday we can also hear your setup.. according to Akyat powerful setup mo sir..
welcome dre.
lima pa lamang tayo (as far as i can count) na naka-kenwood AVR.
so galing pala ng US iyang sa 'yo.
cheers.
give me a reason para sumama sa tribe ninyo mga tols...
im searching for a entry or 1 notch entry level AVR
how does Kenwood fair with denon 1404, yamaha 430
onkyo ___ ?
tanong lang po mga sir.
what is the use of bass peak management? sa sub ba or sa front speakers? what is your settings dito. thanks

thanks nels
everytime I play intro ng dts dvd disc, medyo sabog ng kaunti yung sub.
In this case, there is a need to decrease bass peak level. Lalamugin niyan sub mo.
naglalaro lang iyan from -30 to -25.
If THX is on, adjust ko sa -30.
iba na talaga si idol nels76.... ;D basta 9060D, alam nya lahat ng tweaks.... sa susunod, bass on the 1st floor
kakabasa kasi about this receiver kaya medyo marami na ako alam sa tweaking.
pre, buo na iyong Living room namin where the HT will be setup. Mas-maliit compared sa dati. 3 of the 4 side walls are made of concrete na. Sahig concrete na din. Celing made of wood pa din. Unlike before na walls are all made of wood.
Drop by ka tom AM para makita mo. Finishing na lang kulang and tapos na.
Still with this kind of room about to be finished, I cannot utilize my AVR's 7.1 capability. 5.1 muna ulit.
Tama ka BASS on the 1st floor muna. Dati 2nd Floor eh. Next year BASS on the 3rd Floor na talaga because next year na ang 2nd Stage ng House Renovation.
Come December, I'm thinking between DVD 21 and 655A. Kawawa naman PS2 ko. over-fatigued na.
cheers.

James,
Buti dito sa Kenwood thread meron Guru sa tweaks.. dapat meron din tayo sa HK hehehe sir james ikaw na bahala.. :D :D puro tayo sit down and listen..
coolkiks,
in reference to your post at the MS thread:
you said at -4 at 9060D volume level sound start to change. may i know your speaker settings?
Dre, reminder ko lang. mga bago pa speakers mo. wag mo muna biritin.
I noticed with my 9060D:
Stereo: Volume does not reach 0 but you'll hear slight clipping.
Multi-channel (Movies or Music); Volume can be at almost max level (really loud) but still sounds clean.
Di ba baliktad? What can you say coolkiks? Don't you have the same observation?
review naman sa KRF-5060
ok ba performance nito?
sir nels
my speaker settings :
fronts : 2db, center : 1, surrounds: 3, sub: 3
I tried using both digital and analog outs when played in stereo pero pag umabot na sa -5 nag iiba na tunog. di ko muna uli gagawin yun hehehe... siguro next month pa
tried also multi channel , thx off and eq off, ganun din ang labas although umaabot ng 0-5 pero may clipping ng kaunti. siguro di pa ready MS ko for that level.... but in movies di nagbabago sound up to 5 db . di ko na pinaabot ng max level kasi takot na ko e :D
sir nels,
pls. check your pm
be976,
dito ko na lang sagutin ha para mabasa din ng iba with the same question.
You were asking if it's ok to use 6-ohmers as front.
I was also asking this question to myself when i was still scouting for speakers to connect to my 9060D.
If the specs at the back of your receiver says "Speaker Impedance: 6 - 12ohms" then have a peace of mind because your receiver and speakers will be operating safely even at high volume and no effect in the long run.
But if it says: "8 - 16 ohms only" then that is a minor concern.
Connecting speakers to an amp lower than what is specified makes the amps work harder. the lower the resistance, the more power is being drawn from the amp. and if the amp does not have the reserve power needed by the speaker (especially on loud movie passages and low frequency music) the amp may fail in the long run. The Speaker may also sound thin.
A "Lolo thunder' explosion may sound "5-Star" for example. Actually, you may not see the immediate negative effects but in the long run.
It's like this:
Car Manufacturers sets the top speed there product can run safely, say, 200kph Max. But, of course, you can run it beyond 200kph but there is a risk of failure.
For further readings, go to this link. You will notice I was asking the same question before.

bro, any impressions on your new hk dvd21? im very interested especially sa audio. malaki ba ang improvement compared to playing music on other dvd players (pioneer, philips)?
Narayan,
Yes. Please. post your review of WS and 9060D combination in Stereo Mode.
Kindly make also some experimentation on the use of the 9060D's Active EQ while WS is connected. And also when TONE is defeated.
I'll be getting a unit soon and actually heven't heard the WS-9060D combo in stereo although our past listening sessions have proven that the WS has indeed made some sound improvement.
Was it positive or negative?
By the way, just got my DVD 21.
Cheers.
Pinsan Skeeter,
I cannot post my feedback yet. Actually, nakalagay sa ilalim ng bed iyong player (Still in the Box). As the house is under renovation.
Tonight, if time permits, James16 and I will go to there house to compare it with his Pioneer DV 233 Player.
Hans,
Thank You. Eto la na pera. Naubos na. :'(
Narayan,
Please experiment on this:
Try to connect the WS Out to the 6-Channel Analog Input of the 9060D.
Signal Input to the 6-Channel Analog of the 9060D bypasses all the processing and you cannot have the Active EQ, Speaker Setting and Bass Management engaged. What the receiver does is just to amplify the signal (Parang Source Direct).
Although it is a 6-Channel Analog In, connect the Stereo Analog out of the WS to Front (L and R) of the 6-Channel Analog In.
And see what happens.
nels,
as you suggested, i connected the ws preamp dun sa fronts ng 6 channel analog output and compared the result when connected to the cd in.
after several playing, i cant really tell if there really is a difference ???. parang a little bit louder ung cd in connection but just very little. kailangan dito bro ung golden ears mo ;D

BUMP for 1st day of 2004.
Happy New Year KENWOOD AVR Users.
coolkiks,
In relation to that, we had our office xmas party last Dec. 18 and we used my setup (9060D and MS 912 + sub). 2.1 setup lang.
Average volume -3 to +5. It was loud enough for the open area (done by the poolside). Continuous house music (ako pa naging DJ) from 8PM to 3AM at that average volume. The receiver was really hot. tinorture ko talaga. No Fan to ventilate the receiver. No shutting-off occurred. Was also worried baka ma-burn iyong tweeter ng 912 kasi iyong emcee sumisigaw na sa mic during the parlor games. No problem encountered with my setup.
Proud of this setup. Reliability-wise, I have proven it.
cheers.
Ako din po proud owner ng KRF-9060D. Ganda ng CircleSurroundII sa music lagi tuloy ako puyat pag gabi.... hehehe
DuffyDoc.
duffydoc
ganda talaga ng avr na yan. 5 star talaga.
Guys,
ok itong site na ito a. meron din pala mga owners dito ng kenwood. ako meron din 9060D. isa lang masasabi ko sa AVR na ito maganda sya sa HT and Music stereo mode and CSII.
- Latigo.
hi bro,
welcome to the kenwood corner. btw, anong speakers kinabit mo sa 9060D mo :D

Is the KRF-9060D 7.1 or 6.1, I'm quite confused about this one... And where is the cheapest one can be found?
Anyone know about those Kenwood floorstanders also?
Are you from pinoypsx and pinoyxbox also?
sobrang tahimik sa forum na ito ah...
sir kumusta naman po yun avr nyo? and pairing it with daiichi euros... any reviews.
I have just auditioned one of the kenwood set up here in SM bacoor..... also the TEAC set up....... i always wanted to have a kenwood system placed inside the house kaya lang may kamahalan... nagptest ako ng music and I find it very great....... averagely priced and the quality is really nice...... planning to buy it this year... ipon muna...... I forgot the model number... basta ung bagong labas na 6 channel..... 14 500 ung price ng AVR.... anyone here tried using kenwood AVR with Dai ichi speaker set up? ano ba mgandang ipartner na speakers sa Kenwood avr.. kenwood na din ba? meron bang mas mura?
9. 9060D has 7.1 Pre-out. Use an external stereo amp. Connect the 6th and 7th pre-out of the 9060D to the external stereo amp to power the 6th and 7th surround speakers positoned at the back. Whilst the 4th and 5th speakers are positioned on the side.
11. Get additional amps from pier and use it to power the fronts. You will hear an improvement. Before, hollow tumunog iyong 9060D ko when it handles all the speakers by itself. I get an amp from pier and used it to power the fronts, the sound is much fuller now even on loud scenes. Worry free ka kahit na loud volumes na matagal.
kenwood-9060D owners...anu mga interconnects gamit nyo sa HT set-up nyo from the AVR, power amp and speakers? What kind of Co-ax fits best with the AVR?
guys i am selling my kenwood VR6050 receiver. please look at the link below:
http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=42344.0
maybe you could vouch for the performance and the quality of kenwood to your friends.
thanks,
theman
Mejo buhayin ko itong Kenwood AVR thread ha.
Anybody here tried there kenwood avrs with wharfade speakers? particularly , 9.1 as fronts then WH2/3 as rear and center, thanks.
I just auditioned the rf-x9090D at western marketing in Festival mall and I'm impressed, but they used Mordaunt speakers. I was jsut wonderin if it would also be the same for the wharfes.
Got a VR-7070 (KRF- X9070D dito satin) from my bro sa US recently and I can vouch with what ganicru observed with this receiver. I was totally surprised with it's performance since I wasn't exactly expecting much from a Kenwood a/v receiver. But now I think this must be one of the best buy of the century for me!! ;D Oh, do try to add power amps to this baby and you would experience a higher level of performance, comparable to the $1000+ famous brand receivers out there. :o The new models I think supports HDMI now.
Have you tried to reset the unit? There is a procedure of resetting the unit. Better try before bringing the unit for service. Try to read the manual. I think it is written in the manual.
sir tigkal,
first of all how much po bili ninyo sa kenwood9090?
second, as much as possible similar sa fronts ninyo - for timbre-matching purposes, using different brand will produce "different" sound. But if you are not that "picky" any small speakers will do. I use a wharf diamond 9 sr for my rears and a b&w 601 to my fronts.
@duffydoc
sir may warranty ba yung 9090 mo na galing sa western? thanks
may remaining units paba? kahit ibang model? hehe
BTW, mainit talaga yung kenwood? tapos kapag nagswitch ka ng electric or other appliances mag mumute sya sandali?

I have same fronts. It is an old model infinity . As of now, I am satisfied with its performance. I am looking for a possible upgrade of my fronts, or retain the fronts and add surrounds. I am not pickiy but I also do not want distortions. Anyway, thanks for your inputs.
Kenwood KRF-X9090D a THX-cinema receiver with pre-outs and an automated roo eq = definitely a best buy
Will buy this amp once I get rid of my TEAC ag-d9260
anyone selling their pre-owned 9090?
I have a 9090D. So far did not notice any static. What do you mean adjusting the volume very slowly? You are using the volume control in the AVR and not using the remote? If you are using the volume control, maybe dirty contacts lang.
i experience the same even when i use the remote, can it be my front speakers? parang static/popcorn na mahina yung sound e. im using very old but thick audio-pro speaker wires, bundled in a cable organizer(spiral plastic thing). could that contribute? pero ok naman yung sound pag steady lang yung volume. thanks for your help bro
Is it kind of a pop or click sound for every step the volume increases or decreases? I might have noticed that in my 9090D but never really paid any attention to it as it did not bother me. But I'll check it later to see.
yup pansin ko rin to
ano mga input nyo mga paps? Coaxial kasi sakin. Parang hindi ko napansin kapag radio. hmmm
Duda ako usually sa input yan.
Nasa source yan minsan pre. At kung gamit mo ito sa pc at nagplaplay ka ng stereo music, mas maganda gumamit ka ng software na makakapagmix ng sound para maging stereo x2 at hindi mga pro-logic or dts neo na medyo mahina ang tunog. Kung movie naman, maganda talaga yung mga dolby surround sources kaysa yung DTS para sakin in terms of ripped from original movie sources.
I have a 9090D. So far did not notice any static. What do you mean adjusting the volume very slowly? You are using the volume control in the AVR and not using the remote? If you are using the volume control, maybe dirty contacts lang.
Is it still worth buying new old stock Kenwood KRF 9090D for P14K if i can still find one?
