Connecting the S–1000 to Your System

FOLLOW THESE CONNECTION STEPS

First:

Connect Analog

and Digital Sources

This section provides information about connecting the S–1000 Sur- round Preamp/processor to analog and digital sources, video sources, and amplifiers. The S–1000 is equipped with balanced and single- ended 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 single- ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this speci- fication in mind. Krell recommends that you use balanced inputs for components that will use the preamp mode.

Follow these steps to connect the S–1000 to your system. Refer to TABLE 1, on page 15, for more information on device connections and available decoding modes, including factory default decoding 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.

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.
