Krell Home Theater Standard 7.1

18 Stereo Button and LED
Use this button to select stereo decoding, in order to make an A/B
comparison or listen to a stereo recording in two channel format (left
and right). The red LED illuminates when this feature is engaged.

After you select a mode, press the stereo button once. Press the
stereo button again to make the A/B comparison. Press the stereo
button again to exit stereo format.

You can make an A/B comparison when you press the stereo button, only if
you have selected a previous mode.

19 Mode 1 Button and LED
20 Mode 2 Button and LED
Use these buttons to select available processing modes (such as
Dolby Digital, DTS, PLII Movie, THX, etc.) for incoming signals from
a video or audio source.

The default mode for a signal is always stored in Mode 1. Use the
Mode 1 button to select the default mode. All modes that can be
used for the same signal are automatically stored in Mode 2. Use the
Mode 2 button to scroll through these other modes. The last mode
displayed in Mode 2 is the one selected. Based on the source signal,
the Home Theater Standard 7.1 automatically selects the correct
modes available for the signal.

21 Pro Logic II Button and LED
Use this button to select the Dolby Pro Logic II mode for Dolby
Surround encoded material, including laser discs, videotapes, televi-
sion broadcasts, and compact discs. The red LED illuminates when
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding is selected.

This mode is selected automatically if Dolby Digital source material is
encoded for Pro Logic. To turn off this mode, press the Pro Logic II button.

22 Preamp Button and LED
Use this button to send the signal from an analog input directly to the
volume control, with no digital processing, using the analog stage of
the preamp. This avoids possible digital signal degradation and can
be used for components such as the Krell KPS 28c Compact Disc
Player that have a high quality signal. See Assign Analog Audio
Inputs, on page 45, for information on assigning the analog input to
one of the device buttons (DVD, LD, SAT, VCR, TV).

This feature is only available with a signal from an analog input. If you
attempt to use it with a signal from a digital input, The Home Theater
Standard 7.1 on-screen display will read

NOT ALLOWED.
