Operating the Home Theater Standard 7.1

ON/OFF/STAND-BY

After the Home Theater Standard 7.1 is connected to sources and

 

amplifiers, and the system is configured, the Home Theater Standard

 

7.1 is ready for operation.

 

1. Insert the AC power cord into the IEC connector (56) on the

 

Home Theater Standard 7.1. Insert the other end into the AC wall

 

receptacle.

 

2. Move the back panel power switch (55) 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 (25), fol-

 

lowed by the model name, software version, and the AC line fre-

 

quency. After 5 seconds the initializing message disappears, and

 

the front panel display becomes blank. The Home Theater

 

Standard 7.1 is ready to be powered on.

 

After five seconds of inactivity, the display becomes blank.

 

4. Use either the front panel power button (1) or the remote control

 

power pre key (58) to power on the Home Theater Standard 7.1.

 

The blue power LED (2) on the front panel illuminates. The Home

 

Theater Standard 7.1 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

Note

 

times.

TAPE INPUT

The Home Theater Standard 7.1 has a discrete tape input and out-

AND OUTPUT

put. The tape output is used to send an input signal from any analog

 

input (S-1 through S-7, B-1, or VCR1) to a recording source 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 (14) or key (70) to switch between the tape

 

recorder output (LED illuminated) and the input source (LED not

 

illuminated).

 

Press and hold a device key for three seconds, after the device

 

has been selected, to change the tape output source bus to the

 

currently selected zone. Tape out can come from the main zone

 

or zone 2.
