Kenwood VR-507 5.1 AVR 500W with Phono Input

Kenwood VR-507 5.1 AVR 500W with Phono Input

This Kenwood VR-507 5.1-channel AV receiver delivers a solid 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms across all five main channels, with Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding plus a built-in moving-magnet phono stage for turntable use.

The VR-507 is a versatile home theatre hub, decoding Dolby Digital and DTS for discrete 5.1-channel movie soundtracks while Dolby Pro Logic II and Circle Surround modes synthesize convincing multichannel sound from stereo TV, streaming, and music sources. Its onboard 96 kHz/24-bit DACs and DSP provide clean, dynamic playback, and Midnight Theatre mode helps keep late-night viewing neighbour-friendly while preserving surround information. With a genuine phono input (MM), it also doubles as a competent stereo receiver for vinyl and CD listening without needing an external phono preamp.

Connectivity is generous for its era: 2 optical and 2 coaxial digital inputs, a full complement of analog audio inputs including phono, and multiple A/V inputs with composite and S-video cover DVD players, VCRs, game consoles, and cable/satellite boxes. A 5.1-channel analog input allows use with external multichannel sources such as DVD-Audio or SACD players, while a preamp-level subwoofer output and binding posts for front L/C/R speakers simplify integration with modern powered subwoofers and quality speaker cables. This unit is in good overall condition with honest cosmetic wear from normal use but no damage that affects operation or front-panel legibility, and it includes the original Kenwood remote control for full access to setup, DSP modes, and input selection.
