BASIC PREAMPLIFIER OPERATION

The KRC-3 provides basic input selection and volume control operation from

the front panel. The remote control includes additional preamplifier functions as well as KRELLCD transport and amplifier controls (see Remote Control page 8 for more information).

NOTES ON THE VOLUME CONTROL
The level control on the	KRC-3 is	quite	unique	in	that	the	volume	level	is
indicated by illuminated	LEDs around the		outside	of	the	level	control,	not	by
the physical position of	the level	control. When you				change	level	with	the

remote control, the position of the level control knob does not change. This is

because

the

volume

is electronically

regulated

without

the use of a

potentiometer.

When volume

is

increased

manually or

by

remote

control,

the

indicator

LED will

illuminate

clockwise.

When volume

is

decreased,

the

indicator

LEDwill

illuminate

counterclockwise.

Whenthe

level

is

fully off,

no

indicator

LEDs will

be

illuminated.
