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.

Kenwood began in 1946 as Kasuga Radio in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. As Trio, it sold its products in America under the Kenwood name, and took that name worldwide in 1986. We carry Kenwood stereo receivers and AV receivers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, tuners and CD players. We've had nearly 60 Kenwood listings so far, covering about 50 different models. Every used Kenwood here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.
Kenwood models we've sold more than once include the KM-208 power amplifier and the KA-550D integrated amplifier.
The Kenwood story, 1946 to today
Kasuga Radio was founded in 1946 in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, making radio components, and opened a mass-production plant in Tokyo in 1955. It was renamed Trio around 1960.
Where the name came from. Kenwood was coined in America. Bill Kasuga and George Aratani set up Kenwood Electronics in the early 1960s to sell Trio products in the US, and Kasuga said he chose "Ken" because it works as both a Japanese and an American name. Trio later bought Kenwood Electronics, and in 1986 the whole company became Kenwood Corporation.
The hi-fi years. Trio-Kenwood built KR receivers through the 1970s, the KA-1000 integrated amplifier with heat-pipe cooling in 1980, and late-1980s amplifiers with Sigma Drive, which takes the feedback loop out to the speaker terminals. The KR-A receivers ran from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s.
Today. Kenwood merged with JVC between 2008 and 2011, and JVCKENWOOD Corporation now owns the brand. In Canada, Kenwood today sells car audio, two-way radios and earbuds rather than home hi-fi.
Which Kenwood is which?
1970s KR receivers: such as the KR-2600 of 1976 to 1978, at 15 watts per channel.
KA integrated amps: the KA-1000 of 1980, and the late-1980s "D" models such as the KA-990D, KA-880D and KA-550D, with Sigma Drive.
Power amps and separates: such as the KM-208 power amp of 1987 to 1988, the high-end L-series, and the Basic M and C separates.
KR-A receivers (1984 to 1996) and later AV receivers such as the KRF-A 4020 of 1999.
Tuners and CD players: KT tuners and DP CD players and changers.
