10-16 Audio Mode Buttons

The five buttons (10, 13, 14, 15, and 16)
select one of the Audio + Video Standard’s
audio modes.

The Audio + Vid~.o Standard automatically
selects which di~al decodingformat to use,

based on the input signal it receives.
When a silent digital signal .is present, the

Audio+Video Standard will automatically

mute its output until program material
resumes and the Audio+Video Standard
identifies the correct processing mode. This

occurs while changing laser, DVD or com-

pact discs, and between tracks on a cd.
Mute protects your syste ,m by preventing the

Audio + Video ~Standard from playing back

digital data in an incorrect format. If the Audio
+ Video Standard is going to be used as a
digital to analog converter for music play­back, this muting may seem awkward
because the beginning of each track may be
affected. You can change the format auto-

sensing to eliminate this muting, if you wish.
To do so, switch the unit into standby. Press
the DTS button (13) on the front panel and

switch the Audio+Video Standard out of

standby to power on (operate). This will dis-

able the automatic muting feature of the

ates. For best results, select DTS prior to lis-

tening to any DTS encoded material and be

careful to select the proper format for each

piece of softWare played through the. digital

inputs.

To re-engage the automatic muting feature,

switch the Audio+Video Standard into stand-

by and toggle the main power switch (38)

the rear panel to the off position. When. you

restart your Audio + Video Standard, the

Connecting the
Audio + Video Standard

to Your System

WARNING

When making conn~ions to thi.s compo-

nent or any other, make sure the power
amplifier is off and the preamplifier is in the
mute or stand-by mode. Make sure all
cable terminations are of the highest qual­ity, free from frayed ends, shorts, or cold
solder joints.

For analog audio sources, connect the

left and right outputs of your source com­ponents to the inputs on ,the Audio +
Video Standard. The Addio + Video
Standard is equipped with six single­ended analog audio inputs ($1-$5 and
tape) via RCA connectors and one bal­anced analog audio input (B1) via
XLR connector.

2. For digital audio sources, connect the
digital audio output of your source com-

ponents to the digital inputs on the Audio +

Video Standard. The Audio + Video

Standard is equipped with five digital
inputs: two coaxial inputs via RCA con­nectors, two TosLink

TM

optical connec-

tions, and one AES/EBU via an XLR

connector. For Dolby Digital (AC-3) sur-

round processing, connect the RF output
of a laser disc player to one of the RF
inputs.

Note

For source units that are equipped with both
digital and analog audio outputs, higher per-

formance will generally result when connect­ing source units to the Audio + Video Standard
using a digital audio output.

Connect the video outputs of your video
sources to the video inputs on the Audio
+ Video Standard.

The Audio + Video Standard is equipped
with four S-video inputs and four composite
video inputs. S-video cables transmit the
color and luminance components of the
video signal separately. This separation is
performed by the comb filter within the
source unit. If the source unit’s comb filter is
superior to the one within the video monitor,
S-video connections should be used.
Otherwise, a composite video connection
should be used.

Notes

S-video cables should not be used for
lengths greater than 20 feet, for optimum
performance.

The Audio + Video Standard does not con­vert video signal formats, Le., an S-video
input signal is output as an S-video signal

The same condition holds true for a com-

posite video signal

The Audio + Video Standard is equipped
with three S-video outputs and three com-

posite video outputs. The main S-video out­put (28) and composite video output (35)
include on-screen graphics. The composite

video 1 output also has a parallel BNC con-

nector. For dubbing purposes, the second
and third video outputs do not include on­screen graphics. These outputs may be con­nected to the video inputs of your video

recorders or to:additional video monitors.

Connect the outputs of the Audio + Video
Standard to the input(s) of your power

amplifier(s).

Page 12 of 32 English KRELL® Audio + Video Standard

Connect the outputs of the Audio + Video
Standard to the input(s) of your power

amplifier(s).

The Audio + Video Standard has balanced
outputs via XLR connectors and single-

ended outputs ~,, RCA connectors. Both
outputs are act~e at all times, allowing
simultaneous connection to separate ampli-

fiers. Only one of these output formats
should be connected to a single amplifier.

Note

When connecting inputs or outputs to the

Audio + Video Standard, remember that the

balanced connections will have 6 dB more

gain than the single-ended connections. If

level matching becomes difficult in your
installation, keep this spe~’fication in mind.

System Programming

System programming functions allow you to
simplify the use of your Audio + Video
Standard by naming three sets of linked
inputs, System 1, 2, and 3 (47). Other links
may be created in the Audio + Video
Standard, but primary, links may be set up
and remembered more easily with the
System function. For example:

System button 1 A laser disc con­nected to the RF input and a video
input, set for MOVIE MODE.

System button 2 A DVD player con-

nected to the C1 input and a video
input, set for MOVIE MODE,

System button 3 A CD player con­nected to an analog input and an
unused video input, set for preamp

mode.

To use the system programming function,
the basic input links need to be created.

For details, see Linking a Video Input to

an Audio Input on page 22. To assign

input links to System 1, 2, or 3, follow the
instructions below.

Push and release one of the three sys-

teaq buttons.

Decide which video input you want to
assign to the system button. Push and

hold the appropriate video button down
for approximately five seconds. Note that
the red LED in the upper left corner of the

remote control will blink. When the blink-

ing stops and the light stays lit for one
second the system is linked to the video

input you selected.

Link the video inputs to a specific audio

input and surround mode.
