Krell Industries Audio + Video Standard Surround Preamp/Processor manual

Connectingthe

Audio+ Video Standard to Your System

WARNING

Whenmaking conn~ions to thi.s compo- nent or any other, makesure the power amplifieris off andthe preamplifieris in the mute or stand-by mode. Makesure all cable terminationsare of the highest qual- ity, free from frayed ends,shorts, or cold solderjoints.

Connectthe video outputs of your video sourcesto the video inputs on the Audio + Video Standard.

The Audio + Video Standard is equipped with four S-videoinputs andfour composite video inputs. S-video cables transmit the color and luminance componentsof the video signal separately. This separationis performed by the combfilter within the sourceunit. If the sourceunit's combfilter is superiorto the onewithin the videomonitor, S-video connections should be used. Otherwise, a composite video connection should be used.

For analog audio sources, connectthe left andright outputsof yoursourcecom- ponentsto the inputs on ,the Audio + Video Standard. The Addio + Video Standardis equippedwith six single- endedanalog audio inputs ($1-$5 and tape) via RCAconnectors and onebal- ancedanalog audio input (B1) via XLRconnector.

2.For digital audio sources, connectthe digital audiooutput of your sourcecom- ponentsto the digital inputsonthe Audio+ Video Standard. The Audio + Video Standardis equippedwith five digital inputs: two coaxial inputs via RCAcon- nectors, two TosLinkTM optical connec-

tions, and one AES/EBUvia an XLR connector.For DolbyDigital (AC-3)sur- roundprocessing,connectthe RFoutput of a laser disc player to oneof the RF inputs.

Note

For sourceunits that are equippedwith both digital andanalogaudiooutputs,higherper- formancewill generally result whenconnect- ing sourceunits to the Audio+ VideoStandard usinga digital audiooutput.

Notes

S-video cables should not be used for lengths greater than 20 feet, for optimum performance.

TheAudio + Video Standarddoesnot con- vert video signal formats, Le., an S-video input signal is output as an S-videosignal Thesamecondition holds true for a com- posite video signal

The Audio + Video Standard is equipped with three S-video outputs andthree com- posite video outputs. ThemainS-videoout- put (28) and compositevideo output (35) include on-screengraphics. Thecomposite video 1 output also hasa parallel BNCcon- nector. For dubbing purposes, the second andthird video outputs do not include on- screengraphics. Theseoutputs maybe con- nected to the video inputs of your video recordersor to:additional videomonitors.

Connectthe outputsof the Audio+ Video Standardto the input(s) of your power amplifier(s).
