Definition of Terms

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

INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

OPERATION

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 immune to induced noise from the system or the environment.

Single-ended

A two-wir

e input or output circuit. Use car

e 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 con

nections requiring long cable runs.

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 S–1000 is connected to AC power and the back panel power switch is on, the power/stand-by LED (2) illuminates in red. This indicates that the component is in stand-by mode, a low power consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator circuits at

ecommends leaving the component in the stand-by mode

idle. Kr

ell r

when it is not playing music.

Operational Mode

When the component is in the stand-by mode, and you press the power button/pre key (1) the power/stand-by LED illuminates in blue. The component is in the operational mode and is ready to play music.

TECHNOLOGY

VIDEO

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 multi-channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing the audience in the middle of a lifelike environment.

HDMI™ High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) is a digital connection standard designed to provide the highest possible uncompressed video and audio quality over a single cable and connector.

Composite Video

An encoded video signal that transmits luminance (Y) and color (C) information on one wire.

S-Video

Video signal that separately transmits the luminance (Y) and color (C) components of the video signal using one wire.

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.

essive.

Component video signals may be interlaced or pr

ogr Progressive signals build screen content in one pass rather than the two passes required for standard (interlaced) video. Progressive technology eliminates motion artifacts and produces film-quality pictures. Both your source and video monitor must be equipped with progressive video technology to realize this advantage.

YPbPr

One way of designating color difference signals, in which:

Y = the luminance signal

Pb = blue minus luminance (B-Y) signal

Pr = red minus luminance (R-Y) signal

Connecting the S–1000 to Your System

This section provides information about connecting the S–1000 Surround Preamp/processor to analog and digital sources, video sources, and amplifiers. The S–1000 is equipped with balanced and singleended inputs.

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 singleended 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 CONNECTION STEPS

First: Connect Analog and Digital Sources

Follow these steps to connect the S–1000 to your system.

TABLE 1, on page 15, for more information on device connections and available decoding modes, including factor modes:

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

2. Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the S–1000 and all components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.

3. Connect the right and left outputs of your source components to the inputs on the S–1000.

Stereo analog input sources. The S–1000 is equipped with nine pairs of single-ended analog audio inputs (S-1 through S-7 (41), tape (37), and VCR (39) via RCA connectors and one set of balanced analog audio inputs (36) via XLR connectors.

Multi-channel analog sources. (For example, multi-channel SACD and DVD audio players). Connect the outputs of your source component to the 7.1 inputs (42) on the back panel.

y default decoding

Refer to

Digital audio sources. Connect the digital audio output of your source components to the digital inputs on the S–1000. The S–1000 is equipped with four coaxial digital audio inputs (44) via RCA connectors and four EIAJ optical digital inputs (43) via TosLink connectors.

Next: Connect Video Sources

4. Connect the video source outputs to the appropriate video inputs on the S–1000.

Component video inputs. Use the component connection when the source device (DVD) and output device (TV) both feature component connections. Component video signals use three wires that convey luminance (Y), red minus luminance [R – Y] (Pr), and blue minus luminance [B – Y] (Pb) signals. See the user manuals included with these devices for more information. The S–1000 is equipped with 4 sets of component video inputs (51).

S-video inputs. S-video cables transmit the color and luminance components of the video signal separately. The S –1000 is equipped with 3 sets of S-video inputs (47).

Composite video inputs. The S–1000 is equipped with four composite video inputs (49).

HDMI™ video inputs. The S –1000

is equipped with four

HDMI™ video inputs (53).

5. Connect the video outputs of the S–1000 to the inputs of your video monitor and/or video recorder

The S–1000 is equipped with one set of component video outputs (50), two S-video outputs (46), two composite video outputs (48), and one HDMI™ output.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE CONFIGURING ROOM EQ SETUP

The Room EQ Setup accesses the Digital Room Equalizer, a feature designed by Krell to provide every adjustment from simple bass and treble to comprehensive room correction. The Digital Room Equalizer enables you to adjust frequency response through three discrete bands (I, II, and III). The four adjustable parameters available are filter type, frequency, shape, and level.

There are four Room EQ setup memories, each of which saves every parameter set for every filter, for every channel. Each setup memory can save a configuration, for example, one for stereo music, one for multichannel music, one for movie surround, and one for video game software.

You can adjust the filters for S–1000 channels globally or individually. Up to three filters can be configured to act equally on all seven channels of audio. Alternatively, each filter can be configured separately for each individual channel.

USER SELECTABLE MODES

Dolby Pro Logic II Modes

User selectable modes available on the S–1000 are listed below:

Dolby Pro Logic II is the next generation in Dolby Surround decoding. The Pro Logic II decoder takes 2 channels in and 5 channels out. It is designed specifically to decode all existing Dolby Surround programs with improved spatiality and directionality. Pro Logic II is also designed for use with stereo music recordings that are not encoded. This feature draws the listener into a three-dimensional space rather than hearing a flat, two-dimensional presentation.

There are 4 modes in which the Pro Logic II decoder can operate:

DOLBY PLII MOVIE

The movie mode is the improved counterpart to the original Pro Logic decoder. It is the choice for the majority of Dolby Surround encoded material.

DOLBY PLII MUSIC

The music mode is for use with unencoded stereo music recordings. The music mode features dimension and center width controls, see

PLII Contr

DOLBY PLII MATRIx

ol,

on page 45, to enhance the music sur

round experience.

The matrix mode is useful for monaural recordings.

DTS Neo:6 Modes

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

The Dolby Pro Logic mode provides the same surround processing as the original Pr

o Logic and is best used with sour

ce content that is

not of optimum quality.

DTS Neo:6 pr

ovides up to six full-bandwidth channels of information from stereo encoded material. 7.1 and 6.1 systems will derive six channels from the signal while 5.1 systems will derive five channels from the signal. DTS Neo:6 includes two modes: two channel matrixed movie material and

DTS NEO:6 MUSIC for stereo

DTS NEO:6 CINEMA for

encoded music material.
