Connecting the Home Theater Standard 7.1 to Your System

CONNECTION STEPS

Step 1: Power Off and Prepare Wiring

This section provides information about connecting the Home Theater Standard 7.1 to your system. To expedite setup, please review Getting Started, on page 6, before following the connection steps below.

Follow these steps to connect the Home Theater Standard 7.1 to your system:

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 Home Theater Standard 7.1 and all components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.

Step 2: Connect Analog Sources

The Home Theater Standard 7.1 is equipped with balanced, single- ended inputs, and 7.1 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 specifi- cation in mind. Krell recommends that you use balanced inputs for components that will use the preamp mode.

For stereo analog input sources, connect the right and left outputs of your source components to the inputs on the Home Theater Standard 7.1. The Home Theater Standard 7.1 is equipped with nine sets of single-ended analog audio inputs (41) (S-1 through S-7, tape, and VCR) via RCA connectors and one set of balanced analog audio inputs (35) via XLR connectors.

For multichannel analog sources (for example, multichannel SACD and DVD audio players), connect the outputs of your source compo- nent to the 7.1 inputs (42) on the back panel.
