Definition of Terms,continued

Multi-channel (DB-25)

A balancedinput or outputcircuit that allowsfor the simultaneousconnectionof all audiooutputsplus one5 VDC(5 Volt trigger) via a single cable. DB-25inputs and outputs are becomingpopular for connectingan audio/videosurroundsoundprocessor andpoweramplifiers, simplifying the integration of the twocomponentsinto your system.

Single-ended

A two-wireinput or output circuit. Usecarewhenusingsingle-endedconnectionsas the groundconnectionis madelast andbrokenfirst. Turnthe systemoff prior to makingor breaking single-endedconnections. Single-endedconnectionsare not recommended for connectionsrequiring long cableruns.

OPERATION

Off

Whenthe powerswitch on the backpanelis placedin the downposition andLEDsturn off, the componentis off.

Stand-by Mode

Whenthe HTSis connectedto ACpowerandthe backpanel powerswitch is in the up (on) position, the red stand-byLEDilluminates. This indicatesthat the componentis stand-bymode,a low powerconsumptionstatus that keepsthe audioandregulator circuits at idle. Krell recommendsleaving the componentin the stand-bymodewhenit is not playingmusic.

Operational Mode

Whenthe componentis in the stand-bymode,andyou pressthe powerbutton on the front panelor the powerkeyon the remotecontrol, the blue powerLEDilluminates. The componentis in the operationalmodeandis readyto play music.

TECHNOLOGY

Krell Current Mode

A proprietaryKrell circuit topologyin whichthe audiogain stagesof a component operatein the current rather than the voltagedomain.This uniquetechnologyprovides the componentwith exceptional speedand a wide bandwidth.
