Configuring the FBI for Theater Throughput

HOW TO ACTIVATE AN INPUT FOR THEATER THROUGHPUT

IMPORTANT

To simplify the integration of an audio/video surround sound proces- sor into your system, set any input on the FBI (C-1, B-1,S-1, S-2, or S-3) to operate as a unity gain stage. Krell calls this configuration Theater Throughput.

When you configure a FBI input for Theater Throughput, the FBI volume and balance controls are transferred to the audio/video surround sound processor, for integrated volume and balance management as well as ease of operation. As long as the FBI input is configured for Theater Throughput and connected to the audio/video surround sound processor’s input configured for Theater Throughput, all FBI volume and balance adjustments are made through the surround sound processor. When you disen- gage the FBI input from Theater Throughput, the volume and bal- ance controls revert to the FBI.

1.Turn on the FBI power.

2.Press and release the button on the front panel or the key on the remote for the device you wish to configure for Theater Throughput. The LED illuminates.

3.Press the button or key again and hold it for 4 seconds. The front panel display (13) shows “thr.”

Make sure the level on the source component is set to zero when configuring the FBI input set for Theater Throughput. Source com- ponents without level controls should not be connected to an input configured for Theater Throughput. Doing so can result in excessive and possibly damaging volume levels when the source is played. Always turn off the source component before you configure any input on the FBI for Theater Throughput.

HOW TO DISENGAGE AN INPUT FOR THEATER THROUGHPUT

When you disengage the Fully Balanced Integrated amplifier input from Theater Throughput, the volume and balance controls revert to the Fully Balanced Integrated amplifier.

1.Turn on the FBI power.

2.Press and release the button on the front panel or the key on the remote for the device you wish to disengage from Theater Throughput. The LED illuminates.

3.Press the button or key again and hold it for 4 seconds. The phrase "thr" disappears from the front panel display (13), indi- cating that Theater Throughput is disengaged.
