Definition of Terms
2 Krell DVD Standard
OPERA TION
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s reference manual.
Balanced
A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from
both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The industry standard for professional and sound recording installations, balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced connections are more immune to induced noise from the system or the
environment.
Single-ended
A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended
connections. Turn the system off prior to making or breaking singleended connections. Single-ended connections are not recommended
for connections requiring long cable runs.
INPUT AND OUTPUT
CONNECTIONS
Definition of Terms
Krell DVD Standard 3
Composite Video
An encoded video signal that includes horizontal and vertical synchronizing information.
Component Video
A video signal that uses three wires to convey luminance (Y), red
minus luminance (R-Y), and blue minus luminance (B-Y) signals.
Progressive Scan Video
Video signals (noninterlaced) that build screen content in one pass
rather than the two passes required for standard (interlaced) video.
This technology eliminates motion artifact and screen line and produces film-quality pictures.
RGB
Red, green, and blue, the three primary colors used in video
processing.
S-Video
Video signal that separately transmits the color and luminance components of the video signal but does not use three separate wires as
does component video.
YPbPr
One way of designating color difference signals. Y = the luminance
signal, Pb = the red minus luminance (R-Y) signal, and Pb = the blue
minus luminance (B-Y) signal.

Krell DVD Standard 5
Before you install the DVD Standard into your system, review the
following guidelines to choose the location for the component. This
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation. The DVD Standard
does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation.
Place the DVD Standard on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humidity, or moisture. The DVD Standard requires at least
two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side and at least two inches
(5 cm) of clearance above and below the component to provide adequate ventilation. Installations inside cabinetry may need extra ventilation.
The DVD Standard has superb regulation and does not require a
dedicated AC circuit. Operate the DVD Standard only with the power
cord supplied.
Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple AC adapters.
High quality 15 amp grounded AC strips are acceptable. High quality
AC line conditioners or filters may be used if they are grounded and
meet or exceed the unit’s power supply rating of 100 VA.
Please contact your Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell before using any
device designed to alter or stabilize the AC power for the DVD
Standard.
Placement
The DVD Standard incorporates an advanced suspension system and does
not require additional mass coupling or isolation. You may experiment with
feet or cones as long as they are not permanently affixed to the unit. Any
unauthorized modifications to the unit or electronics will void the warranty.
Do not attach enhancement accessories such as rings, mats, or
dampers to individual discs. These accessories may interfere with the
disc transport, resulting in erratic playback and/or poor performance.
Note

AC Power
Guidelines
Choose and Connect the Video Outputs
Choose the output that matches your video monitor. The DVD
Standard supports both progressive scan video (noninterlaced) and
standard video (interlaced) outputs. Options for each are explained
on the following pages.
The component YPbPr outputs will provide the best quality picture
when connected to a television capable of accepting a 480p signal. This includes most plasma, D-ILA, DLP, and HDTV ready
televisions.
6 Krell DVD Standard
To connect the DVD Standard to your video monitor, you need to:
connect to AC power, choose your video format, choose and then
connect video outputs, and configure the DVD Standard to match
your television format. These steps are explained below.
Match the video format (NTSC/PAL) of the monitor and the video signal of the DVD Standard to avoid a distorted picture.
Connect to AC Power
Plug the AC cord into the wall outlet. The red stand-by LED (3) illuminates.
Choose the Video Format
Set the NTSC/PAL switch (25) on the back panel to the format that
matches your video monitor. See your monitor’s owner’s manual for
information.
Getting Started
The NTSC/PAL switch is active only when the DVD Standard is in the
stand-by mode. Changing the switch position while the component is
in the operational mode will not change the video format.

The RGB/YPbPr switch is active only when the DVD Standard is in the
stand-by mode. Changing the switch position while the component is
in the operational mode will not change the video output format.
IMPORT ANT
The DVD Standard supports progressive scan (480p) video signals.
Progressive scan builds video screen content in one pass (as
opposed to two passes for nonprogressive or interlaced video), thus
providing better quality picture. Progressive video can also be connected to a computer monitor.
The following table details the different progressive video signals,
connectors, labels, and formats supported by the DVD Standard.
To use the progressive scan video outputs on the DVD Standard, the television or video monitor must have a 31.5 kHz horizontal scan rate and a
progressive or 480p video input.

Choosing A Standard Video Signal
This section describes the three standard video options.
Component Video. Choose the component connection for video
monitors that have component (YPbPr or YCbCr) connections.
Component video is the most accurate standard video signal, using
three wires to convey luminance, red minus luminance, and blue
minus luminance signals. These signals bypass television circuitry
required to process S-video signals, eliminating cross-color contamination and resulting in more reliable, correct color.
S-Video. Choose the S-video connection for video monitors that
have S-video connections but do not have component connections.
S-video separately transmits the color and luminance components of
the video signal but does not use three separate wires as does component video. The S-video signals bypass television circuitry required
by composite video, reducing cross-contamination of color and black
and white signals, and reducing video noise.
Composite Video. Choose the composite connection for video monitors that are not equipped with component video or S-video.

Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced
interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but are also
less sensitive to induced noise, especially with installations using
long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than singleended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this gain
value in mind.
This section provides information about connecting your DVD
Standard to other components in your system. The DVD Standard is
equipped with a variety of connection options, for ease of integration
into your home theater system.
Follow these steps to connect the DVD Standard to your system.
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before
connecting inputs and outputs.
2. Neatly organize the wiring between the DVD Standard and all
system components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to
prevent hum or other unwanted noises from being introduced into
the system.
3. Connect the input of your video components to the appropriate
output of the DVD Standard. See Getting Started, on page 6, for
information on ensuring that your video monitor and settings are
compatible with the DVD Standard.
4. Connect the balanced or single-ended analog outputs.
5. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC connector (37) on the back
panel, then plug the AC power cord into the wall socket. The red
stand-by LED (3) on the front panel illuminates.

This Krell product has a limited warranty of five years for parts and labor on circuitry and three
years for parts and labor on all mechanical components. Should this product fail to perform at
any time during the warranty, Krell will repair it at no cost to the owner, except as set forth in
this warranty.
The warranty does not apply to damage caused by acts of God or nature.
The warranty on this page shall be in lieu of any other warranty, expressed or implied, includ-
ing, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
There are no warranties which exceed beyond those described in this document. If this product
does not perform as warranted herein, the owner’s sole remedy shall be repair. In no event will
Krell be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising from purchase, use, or inability to
use this product, even if Krell has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Proof of purchase in the form of a bill of sale or receipted invoice substantiating that the unit is
within the warranty period must be presented to obtain warranty service. The warranty begins
on the date of the original retail purchase, as noted on the bill of sale or receipted invoice from
an authorized Krell dealer or distributor. Previously owned equipment, when re-purchased from
an authorized Krell dealer or distributor, has the balance of the original warranty, based on the
original date of manufacture.
The warranty for Krell products is valid only in the country to which they were originally shipped,
through the authorized Krell distributor for that country, and at the factory. There may be restrictions on or changes to Krell’s warranty because of regulations within a specific country. Please
check with your distributor for a complete understanding of the warranty in your country.
If a unit is serviced by a distributor who did not import the unit, there may be a charge for service, even if the product is within the warranty period.
Freight to the factory is your responsibility. Return freight within the United States (U.S.A.) is
included in the warranty. If you have purchased your Krell product outside the U.S.A. and wish
to have it serviced at the factory, all freight and associated charges to the factory are your
responsibility.
Krell will pay return freight to the U.S.A.-based freight forwarder of your choice. Freight and
other charges to ship the unit from the freight forwarder to you are also your responsibility.
Krell is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit. Krell will file claims for damages as
necessary for units damaged in transit to the factory. You are responsible for filing claims for
shipping damages during the return shipment.
Krell does not supply replacement parts and/or products to the owner of the unit. Replacement
parts and/or products will be furnished only to the distributor performing service on this unit on
an exchange basis only; any parts and/or products returned to Krell for exchange become the
property of Krell.
No expressed or implied warranty is made for any Krell product damaged by accident, abuse,
misuse, natural or personal disaster, or unauthorized modification.
Any unauthorized voltage conversion, disassembly, component replacement, perforation of chassis, updates, or modifications performed to the unit will void the warranty.
The operating voltage of this unit is determined by the factory and can only be changed by an
authorized Krell distributor or at the factory. The voltage for this product in the U.S.A. cannot be
changed until six months from the original purchase date.
In the event that Krell receives a product for warranty service that has been modified in any
way without Krell authorization, all warranties on that product will be void. The product will be
returned to original factory layout specifications at the owner’s expense before it is repaired. All
repairs required after the product has been returned to original factory specifications will be
charged to the customer, at current parts and labor rates.
All operational features, functions, and specifications and policies are subject to change without
notification.

before you return the component for repair. To expedite service, you
may wish to complete and e-mail the Service Request Form in the
Service section of our website at:

To return a product to Krell, please follow this procedure so that we
may serve you better:
1. Obtain a Return Authorization Number (R/Anumber) and ship-
ping address from the Krell Service Department.
2. Insure and accept all liability for loss or damage to the product

Use the original packaging to ensure the safe transit of the product to
the factory, dealer, or distributor. Krell may, at its discretion, return a
product in new packaging and bill the owner for such packaging if the
product received by Krell was boxed in nonstandard packaging or if
the original packaging was so damaged that it was unusable. If Krell
