Configuring the KAV–300iL for Theater Throughput

HOW TO ACTIVATE AN INPUT FOR THEATER THROUGHPUT

IMPORTANT

To simplify the integration of an audio/video surround sound processor into your system, set any input on the KAV–300iL (S-1, S-2, S-3, or B-1) to operate as a unity gain stage. Krell calls this configuration Theater Throughput.

When you configure a KAV–300iL input for Theater Throughput, the KAV–300iL 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 KAV–300iL input is configured for Theater Throughput and con- nected to the audio/video surround sound processor’s input config- ured for Theater Throughput, all KAV-300iL volume and balance adjustments are made through the surround sound processor. When you disengage the KAV–300iL input from Theater Throughput, the volume and balance controls revert to the KAV–300iL.

1.Turn on the KAV–300iL power.

2.Press and release the button (5) for the device you wish to configure for Theater Throughput. The LED illuminates.

3.Press the button again and hold it for four seconds. The front panel display (11) shows “thr.”

Make sure the level on the source component is set to zero when configuring the KAV–300iL input set for Theater Throughput. Source components 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 KAV–300iL for Theater Throughput.

HOW TO DISENGAGE AN INPUT FOR THEATER THROUGHPUT

1.Turn on the KAV–300iL power.

2.Press and release the button (5) for the device you wish to dis- engage from Theater Throughput. The LED illuminates.

3.Press the button again and hold it for four seconds. "Thr" dis- appears from the front panel display (11), indicating that Theater Throughput is disengaged.
