Connecting the Home Theater Standard
to Your System
This section provides information about connecting your Home Theater Standard to
analog and digital sources, video sources, and amplifiers. The HTS is equipped with
balanced and single-ended inputs, and a multi-channel (DB-25) connector.
Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables
not only can minimize sonic loss but also are immune to induced noise, especially for
installations using long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than
single-ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this specification in
mind. Krell recommends that you use balanced inputs for components that will use the
preamp mode.
Follow these steps to connect the Home Theater Standard to your system.
FIRST: CONNECT ANALOG AND DIGITAL SOURCES
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before connecting inputs and
outputs.
Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the Home Theater Standard and all
components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other
unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.
3.
For analog input sources, connect the right and left outputs of your source
components to the inputs on the Home Theater Standard. The Home Theater
Standard is equipped with six sets of single-ended analog audio inputs (S-1 through
S-5 and tape) via RCA connectors and one set of balanced analog audio inputs
(B-l) via XLR connectors.
For digital audio sources, connect the digital audio output of your source
components to the digital inputs on the Home Theater Standard. The Home Theater
Standard is equipped with six coaxial digital inputs via RCA connectors and two
digital EIAJ optical inputs via TosLink connectors.
Note
For source units that are equipped with both digita/ and ana/og outputs, the digita/
outputs shou/d be connected for/istening in the main zone; the ana/og outputs shou/d
be connected for/istening in zone 2 and for recording from the main or zone 2.
