Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Krell S–1000 Surround Preamp/ Processor.

The S–1000 serves as the centerpiece in a Krell HEAT™—High End Audio Theater—system, which applies the fundamental principles of Krell engineering to the creation of a fully integrated high-performance multi-channel sound system. The S–1000 delivers outstanding music and cinema soundtrack reproduction through the use of a full complement of advanced Krell technologies including discrete Class A, direct-coupled circuitry with balanced outputs, user-configurable input assignment, and broadcast-quality video circuitry featuring HDMI™ technology.

The S–1000 features Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES 6.1, DTS NEO:6, and Dolby Pr proprietary Krell Music Surround modes. This flexibility allows upgrades to software via Flash memory for future surround sound formats and design enhancements.

The owner’s reference manual contains important information on placement, installation, and operation of the Kr read this information carefully details helps ensure satisfactory operation of, and long life for your S–1000 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

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

Krell S–1000 3

Unpacking

Open the box and remove the top layer of foam. You see these items:

1 S–1000 Surround Preamp/processor

1 IEC connector (AC power) cord

1 S–1000 handheld remote control

1 CR2025 lithium battery

1 12 VDC output (12 V trigger) cable

1 packet containing the S–1000 Quick Setup Guide

and the warranty registration card.

Carefully remove the S–1000 and accessories from the box. Remove the foam end caps and protective plastic wrap from the component.

Note

If any of these items are not included in the shipping box, please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for assistance. Save all packing materials. If you must ship your S–1000 in the future, repack the unit in its original packaging to prevent damage in transit. See Return

Authorization Procedure, on page 65.

4 Krell S–1000

Placement

Before you install the S–1000 Surround Preamp/processor into your system, review the following guidelines to choose the location for the component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.

The S–1000 does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation. For the dimensions of your S–1000 see on pages 66-67.

The S–1000 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. In addition, the S–1000 requires at least three inches (7 cm) of clearance between other connected components. For installations inside cabinetry, extra ventilation may be necessary.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

Notes

The S–1000 remote control uses one CR2025 lithium battery, which is included with the shipment.

To open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control:

1. Place the remote face down on the table.

2. Use your thumbnail or a small jeweler’s or eyeglass screwdriver to move the small tab toward the center of the remote, while using your index fingernail or screwdriver to pull down gently on the slot to the right of the tab. The battery compartment will slide out.

3. Place the battery, plus side up, in the battery tray.

4. Slide battery compartment back into the remote until you hear a click.

The remote control is ready for operation.

Do not use a knife or other sharp objects to open the battery compartment; they will scratch the remote control finish.

Replace batteries when remote control function becomes intermittent.

Remove batteries if the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time. Battery leakage can damage the remote control.
