C. Choosing Stereo, LFE, or Stereo/LFE

Your Master Reference Subwoofer can operate in stereo mode, low frequency effect

(LFE) mode, or stereo/LFE mode. For optimum subwoofer performance, Krell

recommends using the stereo/LFE combination.

The connections and configurations described above in Connecting the Master

Reference Subwoofer to Your System and Configuring the Programmable

Electronic Crossover connect and configure your subwoofer to operate in stereo

mode. To add the LFE enhancement, follow these steps:

1.

Make sure the cable from the sub output on your processor is connected to the

LFE input (17, 18, or 19) on the Master Reference Subwoofer.

2.

Activate the LFE input, using the menu function.

3.

Press the menu key (37).

4.

Use the adjust keys (43) to select the

LFE

menu. The front panel display (4)

shows

LFE ON

.

5.

Use the adjust keys to select the preferred LFE setting. Options are:

LFE ON

The LFE input is enabled. If you choose this setting, Krell

recommends saving it using the Theater preset (30).

LFE OFF

The LFE input is disabled.

LFE AUTO

The LFE input is controlled by the LFE 12 VDC (12 V trigger)

input. If you choose this option, Krell recommends saving it

as part of the listening room setup on your surround processor.

You must connect a 12 V trigger cable.

6.

Press the enter key to set the selection and return to the main menu.

7.

Press the menu key to exit the menu mode.

Notes

To confirm that the Master Reference Subwoofer output is operational, activate the noise

generator for the sub output of your surround sound preamplifier/processor.

Krell recommends configuring one of the triggers on the Home Theater Standard to turn off the

LFE when the surround processor is in stereo mode, to avoid generating unwanted noise.

D. When to Use LFE Only Option

Use the LFE only option, without stereo, if you wish to bypass the programmable

electronic crossover.
