TV Standard

Television programs are broadcast, and videos or DVDs are published, in different formats in different countries. Choose the format that best matches the local video/broadcast environment.

NTSC

Choose this if all programming is per the NTSC standard. (Default for KEF Instant Theatre systems sold in the USA.)

PAL

Choose this if all programming is per the PAL standard. (This is the broadcast standard across much of Europe and is the default for KEF Instant Theatre systems sold in the UK and Europe.)

Auto

Choose this if using a multi-standard TV and for programming that is a mixture of NTSC and PAL, as in countries where DVDs might not all be published in the same format.

DVD Output

DVD Output determines which video output, in addition to Composite (RCA), will carry video signals from the KEF Instant Theatre to your TV. (You will see a prompt message when selecting a new DVD output, highlight and SELECT “YES” to confirm any changes to this setting.This is to prevent you setting an output video format which is not displayable on your TV).

Composite/S

Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to only the Composite (RCA) input or the S-Video input of the TV.

Component

Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to the Component (RGB) input of the TV. In this case, connect the Composite input as well, so that you can view non-DVD sources and to allow you to set the component and progressive options whilst the default DVD output is composite only.When watching a DVD, switch the input of the TV to “Component” or “RGB.” (The KEF Instant Theatre’s Component and S-video outputs cannot both be active at the same time.) Component gives the best video quality for plasma, projector, or other component compatible televisions or monitors.

Progressive

Select “On” if using the Component output for DVD programs with a TV that supports ‘progressive scan’. Otherwise, select “off”. Progressive scan gives improved picture quality on a compatible monitor or television but must be used in conjunction with component DVD Output. It will output PAL or NTSC progressive output as defined by the source material.

Audio Menu

The Audio menu allows for calibration of the KEF Instant Theatre for use in unusually shaped or furnished rooms, and for turning off the surround sound, if this should be desired.To adjust bass/treble or the level of bass from the subwoofer, use the dedicated buttons on the remote control.
