Connecting the S-350 to Your System
Follow these steps to connect the S-350 to your system.
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before connecting inputs and outputs.
Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but are also immune to induced noise, especially with installations using long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this gain value in mind.
Pin assignments for XLR connectors:
Pin 1 Shield (ground) Pin 2 Non-inverting (hot) (0°) Pin 3 Inverting (cold) (180°)
2. Neatly organize the wiring between the S-350 and all system components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noises from being introduced into the system.
3. Balanced outputs use three-pin XLR connectors. Single-ended outputs use RCA connectors. Maintain the correct left/right orientation of these outputs.
4. To play DVD discs (S-350av), connect desired video output to preamp/processor or display's video input. For use with a preamplifier/processor, connect digital audio output to digital audio input.
5. For two-channel compact disc playback only, connect the S-350 digital audio outputs to the D/A convertor or preamplifier/processor digital input or balanced/single-ended analog audio outputs to the preamplifier balanced or single-ended analog audio inputs.
6. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC power connector on the back panel. Then plug the AC power cord into the wall socket.
Operating the S-350
Press the back panel power switch (35) labeled “1”. When the S-350 is initialized and in the stand-by mode, the red stand-by LED (2) on the front panel
Note
The S-350 reads data discs. For example, if you prepare a CDR or DVR containing MP3 audio files, you can play the discs on the S-350. The following terminology appears in the front panel display, to help you navigate a data disc:
ROOT = The beginning of the disc. F = A closed folder. TOP = An open folder. Press the enter button or key (11) to open a folder,
move to the previous folder, or play a track. Press the up and down arrows or keys (10) to move
between tracks in a folder.
illuminates. Then press the power button on the front panel or the power key (1) on the remote control, to place the S-350 in the operational mode. When the blue power LED (2) illuminates, the S-350 is in the operational mode.
1. Insert disc into the slot
2. Press the play button or key. The format type is visible in the front panel display. The format type disappears and the front panel display reads TRACK 1 and the track time, as the disc begins playing.
3. Adjust the volume level through your system volume control.
4. Press the stop button or key to end disc playback.
5. Press the play button or key (6) to begin playback again, from the first track.
6. To return the S-350 to the stand-by mode, press the power button or key (1).
1. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
2. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
3. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
4. The ventilation grids on the top of the apparatus and the space underneath it

Please contact your authorized dealer, distributor, or Krell if you have any questions not addressed in the owner’s reference.
Do not place the compact disc player where it could be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on the end of the AC cord. This may cause radio
frequency interference (RFI) to be introduced into your playback system. The ventilation grids on the top and bottom of the S-350 must be unobstructed at all times during
operation. Do not place flammable material on top of or beneath the component. Turn off all systems' power before connecting the S-350 to any component. Make sure all cable
terminations are of the highest quality, free from frayed ends, short circuits, or cold solder joints. Caution: Visible and invisible laser radiation. When the cover is open, avoid exposure to beam. This unit employs a laser. To prevent possible eye injury, only a qualified service person should
remove the cover or attempt to service this device. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
THERE ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE ANY KRELL PRODUCT.
1. Open the shipping box and remove the top layer of foam. You see these items: 1 S-350
1 S-350 remote control 1 IEC connector (AC power) cord 2 AAA batteries
2. Grasp the underside of the foam end-caps that encase the S-350 and lift it straight out
of the shipping box.
3. Place the S-350 in a safe location and remove the protective plastic wrapping.
Place the S-350 on a firm, level surface, away from excessive heat, humidity, and moisture. The S-350 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. Installations inside cabinetry may need extra ventilation.
Do not place the S-350 near hum sensitive components such as preamplifier phono stages or turntables. Although the S-350 is well shielded, placing it near these components could create interference and cause hum.
The S-350 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 may be used if they are grounded and meet or exceed the unit's power supply rating of 50VA.
