ANALOG FUNCTIONS

26 Analog Input Keys

 

Use these keys to select a balanced source (B-1) or single-ended

 

sources (S-1, S-2, or S-3). The selected input LED on the front

 

panel illuminates.

OUTPUT CONTROL FUNCTIONS

27 Tape Key

Use this key to monitor the output signal of a three-head analog tape recorder, compared to the output signal from an audio source, when making a recording. See Tape Input and Output, on page 17. The red tape monitor LED on the front panel illumi- nates when the tape monitor is activated. The LED does not illumi- nate when an audio source is activated.

28 Mute Key

Use this key to interrupt the signal of the input you have selected. To unmute, press the mute key again. The red mute LED (9) on the front panel illuminates when you press the mute button (8) or key.

29 Vol (Volume) Keys

Press these keys to adjust the amplifier output level, which is indi- cated numerically on the front panel display (11); range is 0-151.

30 Bal (Balance) Keys

Use these keys to shift the balance to the left or the right channel. Balance level is indicated in the front panel display (11). To display balance, push any key on the remote.

The front panel display indicates: -C-

 

when the system is balanced. If the system is not balanced, the

 

front panel display indicates if balance is right or left of center, and

 

how much, on a scale of 1 (least out of balance) to 5 (most out of

 

balance).

 

Example: A display of:

 

- - 3

 

means that the balance is moderately right of center. A display of:

 

5 - -

 

means the balance is severely left of center.

 

 

Note

The remote control keys listed above function with the KAV–300iL. Other

 

keys on this remote control may activate other Krell components, for

 

example, compact disc players. Consult the Krell owner’s reference man-

 

ual for each component to review your component’s full remote control

 

capabilities.
