AND OUTPUT

After the S–1000 Surround Preamp/Processor is connected to source devices and amplifiers, and the system setup configured, the S–1000 is ready for operation.

1.Insert the AC power cord into the IEC connector (59) on the S–1000. Insert the other end into the AC wall receptacle.

2.Move the back panel power switch (58) into the up (on) position.

3.The red stand-by LED on the front panel illuminates. The words PLEASE WAIT, INITIALIZING appear in the front panel display (20). When the initializing message disappears, the S–1000 is ready to be powered on.

The front panel display shows volume, input information, and selected mode. After five seconds of inactivity, the display becomes blank.

4.Use either the front panel power button or power pre key (1) to power on the S–1000. The blue power LED (2) on the front panel illuminates. The S–1000 is now in the operational mode.

5.To return to stand-by, press the front panel power button or power pre key again.

Krell recommends that the back panel power switch remain up (on) at all

times.

The S–1000 has a discrete tape input and output. The tape output is used to send an input signal from any analog input

(S-1 through S-7, B-1, or VCR) to a recording device or processor. You can use the tape feature in three ways:

1.Use the tape input to playback pre-recorded tapes.

2.Use the tape input to compare the output signal of a three-head analog tape recorder to the output signal of an audio source. Press the tape button or key (14) to switch between the tape recorder output (LED illuminated) and the input source (LED not illuminated).
