Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-

 

 

 

 

 

ence manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INPUT AND OUTPUT

Balanced

CONNECTIONS

A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from

 

both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The indus-

 

try standard for professional and sound recording installations, bal-

 

anced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connec-

 

tions and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced con-

 

nections are completely immune to induced noise from the system or

 

the environment.

 

Single-ended

 

A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended

 

connections as the ground connection is made last and broken first.

 

Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-ended connec-

 

tions. Single-ended connections are not recommended for connec-

 

tions requiring long cable runs.

OPERATION

Off

 

When the AC power cord is unplugged from the AC power source, or

 

when the back panel power switch (30) is down, or in the “0” position,

 

the component is off.

 

Stand-by Mode

 

When the SACD Standard is connected to AC power, and the back

 

panel power switch (30) is up, or in the “1” position, the red stand-by

 

LED illuminates. This indicates that the component is in stand-by

 

mode, a low power consumption status that keeps the audio and reg-

 

ulator circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the

 

stand-by mode when it is not playing music.

 

Operational Mode

 

When the power button on the front panel or the SACD key on the

 

remote control is pressed and the blue power LED illuminates, the

 

component is in the operational mode and ready to play music.
