Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Krell Showcase DVD.

The Showcase DVD produces a brilliant video image through the use of the high bandwidth circuit architecture, pioneered by Krell in the DVD Standard, and is at the forefront of DVD video technology with HDMI, an optional scalable output stage.

A carefully regulated power supply results in picture stability, even during line fluctuations while the proprietary Krell Digital Video Filter enhances DAC performance. The Krell Current Mode output stage delivers outstanding bass weight, midrange articulation, and high fre- quency extension.

The wireless infrared remote control, and RS-232 and 12 VDC remote connection options on the back panel allow you to integrate the Showcase DVD into advanced control systems. The user-friendly setup menu provides a variety of audio, video, and access control options for optimum configuration and enjoyment of your Showcase DVD and home theater system.

This owner’s reference manual contains important information on placement, connection, and operation of your Showcase DVD. Please read this information carefully. A thorough understanding of these details will help ensure satisfactory operation and long life for your Showcase DVD and related system components.
