Connecting the Home Theater Standard to Your System

This section provides information about connecting your Home Theater Standard to

analog and digital sources, video sources, and amp.lifier.s.

Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables

not only can minimize sonic loss but also are immune to induced noise, especially for

installations using 1(Sr~g cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep

this specification in mind.

CONNECT ANALOG AND DIGITAL SOURCES

For analog input sources, connect the right and left outputs of your source

1. components to the inputs on the Home Theater Standard. The Home Theater

Standard is equipped with six sets .ofsingle-ended analog audio inputs (S-1 through S-5 and tape) via RCA connectors and one set of balanced analog audio inputs (B-

1) via XLR connectors.

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

components to the digital inputs on the Home Theater Standard. The Home Theater

Standard is.equipped with six coaxial digital inputs via RCA connectors and two digital EIAJ optical inputs via TosLink connectors.

Note

For source units that are equipped with both digital and analog outputs, the digital outputs should be connected for listening in the main zone; the analog.outputs should

be connected for listening in zone 2.

CONNECT VIDEO SOURCES

Note

See the Read This First insert, shipped with the Home Theater Standard, for information on malting the on-screen display visible on your video monitor.

Connect the output of your video components to the appropriate video input of the

1. Home Theater Standard.

Connect the video outputs of the Home Theater Standard to the inputs of video

2. recorders or additional video monitors, if desired.-

The component video signal uses three wires that convey luminance (Y), red minus

luminance IR - Y] (Cr), and blue minus luminance [B - Y] (Cb) signals.

Use the component connection when the source device (DVD) and output device (TV) both feature component connections. See the user manuals included with these devices

for more information. "

Krell Home Theater Standard

Connecting the Home Theater Standard to Your System, continued The Home Theater Standard is also 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. The comb filter within the source unit performs this

separation. If the source’s comb filter is superior to the one within the video monitor, use the S-video connections, Otherwise, use composite videoinput.

The Home Theater Standard is equipped with two S-video outputs, two composite video

outputs, and one set of component video outputs. One. S-video output, one composite,

video output, and the component video output include on-screen display. For dubbing

purposes, only the output labeled OSD displays on-screen information.

Note

The Home Theater Standard does not. convert video signal formats, Le., an S-video input signal is output as an S-video signal The same is true for composite and

component video signals.

CONNECT AMPLIFIER(S)

Connect the outputs of the Home Theater Standard to the input(s) of your power amplifier(s).

The Home Theater Standard has balanced outputs with XLR connectors and single-

ended outputs with RCA connectors. Both outputs are active at all times, allowing simultaneous connection to separate amplifiers. Only one of these output formats should be connected to a single amplifier. Use the DB-25 connector to connect to a

DB-25-equipped amplifier.

Krell Home Theater Standard

System Setup and Configuration Overview

This page outlines the System Setup and Configuration Menus. These easy-to-follow,

step-by-step menus let you set up your Home Theater Standard for optimum performance. Detailed instructions begin on page 24.

Krell recommends that you configure your component in the following order:

1". CONFIGURE SPEAKERS

Configure Speakers Setup lets you select speakers that are in your system and configure their bass range.

2. LISTENING ROOM SETUP.

Listening Room Setup lets you. to enter the exact location of each speaker in your system~ so that the Home Theater Standard can calculate the proper arrival and delay

settings.

CALIBRATE VOLUME

Calibrate Volume Setup lets you match the level of different speakers and amplifiers in your system,

4. CONFIGURE DEVICES

Configure Devices Setup lets you assign each device’s inputs, modes, and triggers. 5, CONFIGURE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

Configure Level Adjustment Setup lets you select mode, device, and analog input trims. These fixed positive or negative volume offsets let you maintain level matching while

switching between inputs with significantly different volume levels.

6. OPERATION

The Operation Setup lets you choose the menu display’s background color, the position and display time for on-screen display, and video display brightness. This menu also

lets you .choose your serial control, set up virtual acoustic environments, program another remote to accept Home Theater Standard commands, and set up dynamic

range compression modes.

Krell Home Theater Standard

System Setup and Configuration

The remote control is the main input device for the Home Theater Standard. All initial

setup and subsequent system configuration adjustments must.be made through the

remote control, or via the RS-232 port. For maximum performance, the Home Theater Standard must be configured for each

system device, its capabilities, and speaker positions in the listening room. Kreil

recommends configurin~g..your system, step-by-step, in sequential order. Enter information into the Home Theater Standard through interactive on-screen menus.

These menus are structured to guide you through the setup process for each device or

for your entire surround sound system.

NAVIGATING THE MENU

To navigate the menu, use the remote control’s directional, enter, and previous, keys. The direction keys: <---, T, --->, and .], (80) let you move around the menu screen and

highlight the desired selection (indicated by a blinking cursor). The enter key (83)

you select the highlighted item. The previous key (78) sends you to the previous screen.

If at any time during the system configuration process you wish to exit the menu system, press the remote control menu key (81).

Note

Some options in the Home Theater Standard are designed specifical/y for digital and~or ana/og devices. To use the dig#a~ or ana/og options, you must connect the correct

format device for the desired option.

It is easier to understand the numerous options available to you through the Home Theater Standard if you have a specific configuration example. The following sections

illustrate setup and configuration by showing you how to select a DVD device, configure

available options, and integrate the device into your system.

ACCESSING THE MAIN MENU

To begin configuring the system:

1. Connect the on-screen video output of the Home Theater Standard on the back panel to your video monitor. Set the video monitor to this input.

See the Read This First.insert, shipped with the Home Theater Standard, for information on making the on-screen display visible on your video monitor.

2. Connect the AC power cord to the IEC power connector (55) on the Home Theater

Standard and to the AC wall receptacle.

3. Move the back pane.I power switch (54) into the up (on) position. The red power

on the front panel illuminates. The words PLEASE WAIT, INITIALIZING.,, appear in the front panel display (22). When the initializing message disappears, the Home Theater

Standard is ready for operational mode.

You can boost weaker signals by increasing the input gain value at the bottom left of this screen (in 3 dE}, 6 dE}, and 9 dB gain increments).
