video connection setup

Selecting the correct input on your TV

The KEF Instant Theatre on-screen displays will only be present on your TV screen if the TV’s external input is properly set to the correct input which is connected to the DVD player.The video input selection is most commonly made on televisions by pressing the TV’s remote control button marked ‘TV/Video’,‘Input’,‘AV in’ or ‘Aux’.

Selecting Component and Progressive DVD output

When using the component video connection to your TV (whether progressive or not) you must connect the composite video connection as well to allow you to set the component option while the default DVD output is composite only. Once you have selected the component option in the DVDs video settings menu change the TVs input source to compontent and then select progressive if supported by your TV.

Video loop-through

The KEF Instant Theatre only plays composite video inputs on the composite vido output and only plays SVideo inputs on the SVideo output.You will therefore need a composite or an SVideo lead if you are using these as video sources.

Record and Multi-room audio outputs

Stereo mode must be selected in the Audio menu when using the left and right Record/Multi-room output on the back of the subwoofer to turn the surround sound off.

system settings

Settings menu

Press the SETTINGS button when watching video from the KEF Instant Theatre to view the Settings menu, provided the TV’s external AUX input is properly set to view the KEF Instant Theatre’s video output.Within the Settings menu, select a category (Language,Video,Audio, or Ratings) with the left/right navigation cursor keys, and press SELECT to open that category’s menu. Within all the menus, select a category with the up/down navigation cursor keys, and press SELECT to open that category’s options.Then choose an option with the up/down navigation cursor keys and press SELECT.To back out of the menus use the left and up navigation cursor keys.

Language menu

The Language menu provides for changing the language of all KEF Instant Theatre system menus, and for indicating preferences for the language of the DVD’s soundtrack and menus. (DVDs are published with a limited number of languages on any one disc; the disc will play in your selected language, if available, or else in the default language for that disc.) Within the Language menu, select a category (Main menu, DVD soundtrack, or DVD menu) with the up/down cursor keys, and press SELECT to open that category’s options.

Main Menu

Choosing a language from this list will cause all KEF Instant Theatre system menus (including this one) to be displayed in that language.

DVD Soundtrack

DVD discs are often published with multiple alternate soundtracks for any one film on that disc. Setting the DVD soundtrack language will use this sound track as default if it is present on the DVD. It is usually possible to override this preference in the DVD disc’s own menu.

DVD Menu

This will set the default DVD discs menu language if available on that DVD.

Video Menu

The Video menu allows the KEF Instant Theatre to be optimised for use with different TVs and different countries’ broadcast standards.

TV Type

Choose the option that best describes the TV being used.

Std. TV 4:3

Choose ‘Std.TV 4:3’ for a TV with a screen ratio of 3/4 which will appear almost as tall as it is wide but is fairly small.When a DVD is published with both widescreen (letterbox) and pan-and-scan video formats, this setting will cause it to play in pan-and-scan mode, expanding that part of the picture containing the action to fill the entire screen.

Bigscreen 4:3

Choose ‘Bigscreen 4:3’ for a TV with a screen ratio 3/4 which will appear almost as tall as it is wide, and is fairly large.When a DVD is published with both widescreen (letterbox) and pan-and-scan video formats, this setting will cause it to play in widescreen mode, typically showing the entire widescreen film image across the centre of the screen,leaving the very top and bottom of the screen blank (black).

Widescreen 16:9

Choose ‘Widescreen 16:9’ for use with a true widescreen TV (with the screen almost twice as wide as it is high).When a DVD includes the widescreen (letterbox) format, it will completely fill the screen. If a DVD is published with only the pan-and-scan (traditional TV) video format, this setting will cause it to be shown in the centre of the wide TV screen, with black filling in the empty space left and right of the picture.

TV Standard

Television programs are broadcast, and videos or DVDs are published, in different formats in different countries. Choose the format that best matches the local video/broadcast environment.

NTSC

Choose this if all programming is per the NTSC standard. (Default for KEF Instant Theatre systems sold in the USA.)

PAL

Choose this if all programming is per the PAL standard. (This is the broadcast standard across much of Europe and is the default for KEF Instant Theatre systems sold in the UK and Europe.)

Auto

Choose this if using a multi-standard TV and for programming that is a mixture of NTSC and PAL, as in countries where DVDs might not all be published in the same format.

DVD Output

DVD Output determines which video output, in addition to Composite (RCA), will carry video signals from the KEF Instant Theatre to your TV. (You will see a prompt message when selecting a new DVD output, highlight and SELECT “YES” to confirm any changes to this setting.This is to prevent you setting an output video format which is not displayable on your TV).

Composite/S

Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to only the Composite (RCA) input or the S-Video input of the TV.

Component

Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to the Component (RGB) input of the TV. In this case, connect the Composite input as well, so that you can view non-DVD sources and to allow you to set the component and progressive options whilst the default DVD output is composite only.When watching a DVD, switch the input of the TV to “Component” or “RGB.” (The KEF Instant Theatre’s Component and S-video outputs cannot both be active at the same time.) Component gives the best video quality for plasma, projector, or other component compatible televisions or monitors.

Progressive

Select “On” if using the Component output for DVD programs with a TV that supports ‘progressive scan’.Otherwise, select “off”. Progressive scan gives improved picture quality on a compatible monitor or television but must be used in conjunction with component DVD Output. It will output PAL or NTSC progressive output as defined by the source material.

Audio Menu

The Audio menu allows for calibration of the KEF Instant Theatre for use in unusually shaped or furnished rooms, and for turning off the surround sound, if this should be desired.To adjust bass/treble or the level of bass from the subwoofer, use the dedicated buttons on the remote control.
