THEATER-THROUGHPUT SETUP

NOTE: If

the

KRC-HRmust

be handled after

the

top cover has

been removed,

the unit

must be held

only

on the

sides

of

the

chassis. Never

move the KRC-HR

while the

top

cover is

off by holding

the

front

panel.

 

When reinstalling the top cover, insert the four screws into the chassis sides first and lightly tighten them. Install the screws in the top surface and tighten

them lightly. Then tighten all screws firmly, starting with the side screws and finishing with the top screws.

SETTING THE $4 INPUT FOR THROUGHPUTFUNCTIONS

This procedure should be done with the unit OFF.

a. Remove the KRC-HR top cover screws with the T-15 Torx wrench supplied.

b. Locate the switch towards the front of the board that is labeled S4/Proc. Set the dip switch to the proc (processor) position.

NOTE: The default position of this switch sets the $4 input for standard operation. In this position, $4 is identical to the S1, $2 and $3 inputs.

c. Place the top cover back on the KRC-HRand insert the cover screws.
