Quick Start
To access the full array of available features for
the KPS 25sc, please read the entire KPS 25sc
owner’s reference manual. The abbreviated
procedures in this Quick Start section will allow
you to set up your KPS 25sc system quickly
and enjoy its basic features before you read the
entire manual. The following paragraphs outline
quick start procedures. For additional informa-
tion see Connecting the KPS 25sc to Your
System, on page 22.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
The KPS 25sc is shipped with these default set-
tings:
The cover operation mode is set for auto. The
cover must be down for compact disc playback
to begin.
The shutter operation mode is shipped set for
auto. The cover automatically becomes opaque
when you play a compact disc and becomes
clear when playback stops.
All variable and fixed outputs are active.
IMPORTANT
You must install the acrylic cover before you
use your KPS 25sc. See Installing the Acrylic
Cover, on page 9.
INPUT AND OUTPUT
CONNECTIONS
See Figure 3 on page 11 and Figure 4 on page
14. Numbers in parentheses refer to figure
labels.
IMPORTANT
Connecting non-CAST components to CAST
inputs or outputs can damage your equipment
and void your warranty.
Do not attempt to change CAST cable termina-
tions or CAST inputs or outputs to RCA or XLR
connectors. It is electrically impossible to con-
vert CAST input or output connections for bal-
anced or single-ended voltage operation.
Please read the Warranty, on page 32, to
understand the warranty limitations of the
KPS 25sc.
1. Make sure all power sources and compo-
nents are off before connecting inputs and
outputs.
2. Neatly organize w~ring between the KPS 25sc
and the preamplifier and amplifier, and
between all other components. Separate AC
wires from audio cables to prevent hum and
other unwanted noises from being intro-
duced into the system.
3. Connect the Krell CAST cables from the left
and right Krell CAST 4-pin outputs (42)
the KPS 25sc back panel to your CAST-
enabled preamplifier or amplifier.
For balanced or s~ngle-ended operation,
connect the interconnect cables from either
the left and right fixed balanced (38), vari-
able balanced (39), fixed single-ended (40),
or variable single-ended (41) outputs on the
KPS 25sc back panel to the balanced or
single-ended inputs on your preamplifier or
amplifier. (The remaining outputs can be
connected to another preamplifier or ampli-
fier in a different system).
IMPORTANT
Use variable output terminals when the KPS 25sc
is connected directly to a Krell stereo power ampli-
fier or to a pair of Krell monaural power amplifiers
that do not have gain control. Using fixed outputs
can damage power amplifiers and loudspeakers.
