WARNINGS

The Home Theater Standard must be placed on a firm level surface where it is not exposed to dripping or

splashing.

The ventilation grids on the top and bottom of the Home Theater Standard must be unobstructed at all

times during operation. Do not place flammable material above or beneath the component.
Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on the end of the AC power cord. This could cause radio frequen-

cy interference (RFI) to be introduced into your playback system.
Before making connections to The Home Theater Standard, make sure the back panel power switch is off.

Make sure all cable terminations are of the highest quality and free from frayed ends, short circuits, or cold
solder joints.

THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE ANY KRELL PRODUCT.

Please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell if you have any questions not addressed in

this Owner’s Reference.

iV Krell Home Theater Standard

Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the .Krell Home Theater Standard Surround

Preamp/Processor.

The Home Theater Standard provides optimum music and cinema soundtrack

reproduction quality through Krell Current Mode, discrete Class A direct-coupled
circuitry, and balanced outputs on all six channels. Broadcast quality switching and
circuitry--including component video, S-video, and composite video--ensure
unmatched video performance. Built-in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS
decoding make the Home Theater Standard compatible with virtually any surround
sound source, including digital videodisc (DVD) software and digital television
broadcasts.

Dual zone capability gives you a variety of configuration possibilities for whole-house
systems. A handheld remote control, RS-232 and optional PHAST Link communications
ports, RC-5 baseband, and 12 VDC input/output (12 V trigger) interface integrate the

Home Theater Standard into any system. The Home Theater Standard’s flexible,
modular architecture allows you to upgrade hardware and software to accommodate

future surround sound formats and design enhancements.
The owner’s reference manual contains important information on placement,

installation, and operation of the Krell Home Theater Standard. Please read this
information carefully. A thorough understanding of these details helps ensure

satisfactory operation of and long life for your Home Theater Standard and related
system components.

Definition of Terms

Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s reference manual.

INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
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

completely immune to induced noise from the system or the environment.

Krell Home Theater Standard

Definition of Terms, continued

Multi-channel (DB-25)

A balanced input or output circuit that allows for the simultaneous connection of all
audio outputs plus one 5 VDC (5 Volt trigger) via a single cable. DB-25 inputs and
outputs are becoming popular for connecting an audio/video surround sound processor
and power amplifiers, simplifying the integration of the two components into your

system.

Single-ended

A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended connections as the
ground connection is made last and broken first. Turn the system off prior to making or
breaking single-ended connections. Single-ended connections are not recommended

for connections requiring long cable runs.

OPERATION
Off

When the power switch on the back panel is placed in the down position and LEDs turn
off, the component is off.

Stand-by Mode

When the HTS is connected to AC power and the back panel power switch is in the up
(on) position, the red stand-by LED illuminates. This indicates that the component is
stand-by mode, a low power consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator
circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the stand-by mode when it

is not playing music.

Operational Mode

When the component is in the stand-by mode, and you press the power button on the
front panel or the power key on the remote control, the blue power LED illuminates. The

component is in the operational mode and is ready to play music.

TECHNOLOGY

Krell Current Mode

A proprietary Krell circuit topology in which the audio gain stages of a component
operate in the current rather than the voltage domain. This unique technology provides
the component with exceptional speed and a wide bandwidth.

Krell HEAT

The Krell term HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, is a design application incorporated
into Krell components to enhance multi-channel home entertainment systems. A Krell

HEAT system is an integrated home theater system consisting of a state-of-the-art Krell
preamp/processor and matching amplifiers that reproduce two channel and multi­channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing the audience in the middle of a

lifelike environment.

Krell Home Theater Standard

Placement

Before you install the Home Theater Standard into your system, review the following
guidelines to choose the location for the component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble­free installation.

The Home Theater Standard does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for
installation. For the dimensions of your Home Theater Standard see Specifications, on
pages 59-60.

The Home Theater 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

provide adequate ventilation. Further, the Home Theater Standard requires at least

three inches (7 cm) of clearance between other connected components. For

installations inside cabinetry, extra ventilation may be necessary.

AC POWER GUIDELINES

The Home Theater Standard has superb regulation and does not require a dedicated
AC circuit. 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.

Power Cord

The Home Theater Standard should be used only with the power cord supplied. Contact
your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell before using any devices designed to

alter or stabilize the AC power for the Home Theater Standard.
