Using Your New Kenwood Audio-Video
Receiver
Welcome to the Users' Guide for your new Kenwood Audio-Video Re-
ceiver.
The KRF-X9995D connects all your current audio and video components.
It allows you to control them all with Kenwood's remarkable PowerTouch
touch screen remote--a graphical user interface without having to use
your TV!
The KRF-X9995D adds dual-zone/dual-source operation, letting you play
two different A/V sources independently in two different rooms! For a
match made in "dual-zone heaven," add Kenwood's dual-transport DPF-
J9030, DPF-J9020 or DPF-J9010 200-Disc CD Changer to the KRF-X9995D.
