Q .
Should I leave my S - 3 0 0 i on at all times?
A .
Krell recommends leaving the amplifier in the stand-by mode,
ready to play music. If you are not going to play music for a
long time, you may turn off the rear panel power button.
Q .
When I turn on the amplifier there is a loud hum through the
loudspeakers. What should I do?
A .
When a new component is introduced into a system, a low
frequency hum may occur in one or both loudspeakers. Check
all input and output connections, making sure they are of
sound construction. See How to Troubleshoot System Noise
,
on page 19. If the interconnects and cables are sound, you
may be experiencing a ground loop. This can often be easily
eliminated. Please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distrib-
u t o r, or Krell for suggestions on how to solve this
problem.
Q .
When I use the S - 3 0 0 i’s Theater Throughput capability with my
surround sound processor, where should I set the
volume on the S - 3 0 0 i?
A .
You do not need to set the volume on the S - 3 0 0 i because the
a m p l i f i e r’s volume and balance controls are not active in the
Theater Throughput mode. When using the S - 3 0 0 i’s T h e a t e r
Throughput capability, the surround sound processor controls
the system volume. See Optional Configurations, on page 17.
