I have a question. If you go to kenwood's page: [Link: kenwoodusa.com]and look at any of the receivers in this page they say they support dolby 3 stereo and dolby pro logic. Is dolby 3 stereo the same as dolby prologic ii? This confuses me because other vendor's that sell these kenwood receivers say they support dolby pro ii, but kenwood's web page doesn't explicitly say so.

Slocko,
It's not the same thing. "dolby 3" means it doesn't use the rear speakers at all.
From Kenwood's "Home Entertainment 2001-2002" catalog: "This format uses the way in which humans perceive sound to create a surround efect using just Right, Left and Center speakers. So you can enjoy an exceptionally atmospheric sound even with a simple system. Dobly 3 Stereo is ideal when you don't have sufficient space for more than three speakers."
If a Kenwood product offers PLII, it will usually specifically state "Dolby Digital Pro Logic II."

According to the Circuit City website the Vr-507 and 509 have Pro LogicII, they don't carry the higher Kenwood models and the Kenwood sie says the VR-5700, 5090, and 5080 have it, but it doesn't say anything about it on the 5900 or 510....so who knows on those.....Tony

I checked circuit city's website for the 509 and the summary says it has pro logic ii but the spec sheeet further down says no. Samething for the kenwood site. the summary says pro logic ii but the specs don't mention it. very strange.
i am going to have to swing by circuit city to check it out.

It is strange...esp on the Circuit City site...didn't see that. Check this out though... [Link: dolby.com]According to Dolby themselves it is DPLII....Tony

thxs guys. i have found that kenwood is pretty sloppy in maintaining their website. so i guess they do support pl II.
Leaning toward the 507 or the 509.
