Can Kenwood KC-X1 Pass Thru Audio Without Equalization?

[markw]

I don't know if this is responsive to your question, but the Kenwood manual says it has the following:
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby 3 Stereo
THX Cinema
DSP Logic
Mono

From what I can see, you can feed your unit a two-channel (stereo) analog output from that unit. From that, you can derive any of those matrixed (not discrete) sound fields you list.

You cannot do any digital processing, and this includes Dolby Digital, DTS, or any of those new-fangled hi-rez formats touted for Blu-Ray.

Unless, of course, you can input 5.1 (or more) analog inputs from a source that does include DD/DTS or these new hi-rez formats and can internammy decode them and pass them through analog outputs. In which case, you would be bypassing the Kenny's internal processing. RTFM for more on that.

What do you mean "without equalization"?
