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.

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 amplifiers. The HTS is equipped with balanced and single-ended inputs, and a multi-channel (DB-25) connector.

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 long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than

single-ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this specification in mind. Krell recommends that you use balanced inputs for components that will use the

preamp mode.

Follow these steps to connect the Home Theater Standard to your system.

FIRST: CONNECT ANALOG AND DIGITAL SOURCES

1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before connecting inputs and outputs.

Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the Home Theater Standard and all components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other

unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.

For analog input sources, connect the right and left outputs of your source components to the inputs on the Home Theater Standard. The Home Theater Standard is equipped with six sets of single-ended analog audio inputs (S-1 through S-5 and tape) via RCA connectors and one set of balanced analog audio inputs

(B-l) via XLR connectors. 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 digita/ and ana/og outputs, the digita/ outputs shou/d be connected for/istening in the main zone; the ana/og outputs shou/d be connected for/istening in zone 2 and for recording from the main or zone 2.

Krell Home Theater Standard 23

Connecting the Home Theater Standard to Your System, continued

NEXT: CONNECT VIDEO SOURCES

Note

See Read This First, on page 5, for information on making the on-screen display visible on your video monitor.

1. Connect the output of your video components to the appropriate video input of the Home Theater Standard.

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

recorders or additional video monitors, if desired.

The component video signal uses three wires that convey luminance (Y), red minus luminance [R - 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. 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 video input.

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

S-video inputs can be seen only on S-video outputs. The same is true for composite and component video signals.

LAST: 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 26. 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 Jets 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.

3. 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 25

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. Krell recommends configuring 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: ~, 1", ~, and 4, (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 (79) 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 specifically for digital and~or analog devices. To use the digital or analog 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:

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 Read This First, on page 5, for information on making the on-screen display visible on your video monitor.

Connect the AC power cord to the IEC power connector (55) on the Home Theater Standard and to the AC wall receptacle.

Move the back panel 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 (23). When the initializing message disappears, the Home Theater

Standard is ready to switch to operational mode.

Input Gain

You can boost weaker signals by increasing the input gain value at the bottom left of

this screen (in 3 dg, 6 dg, and 9 dg gain increments).

To maximize your system’s signal to noise ratio for a particular input, the input gain value applied to the signal should be increased (if needed) to maintain a signal strength close to 0 dB gain. The optimal signal gain value is 0 dB.

Anti Clip

Setting anti clip to ON engages automatic distortion protection. Anti clip measures the

signal level and prevents the input signal from distorting (clipping) the analog-to-digital converters. Set anti clip to OFF if you want to disengage distortion protection. This is

particularly useful if you need to maintain maximum signal-to-noise thresholds when recording from a source.
