Definition of Terms  
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-  
ence manual.  
INPUT AND OUTPUT  
CONNECTIONS  
Balanced  
A symmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from  
both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The indus-  
try standard for professional and sound recording installations, bal-  
anced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connec-  
tions and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced con-  
nections are more immune to induced noise from the system or the  
environment.  
Single-ended  
A two-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended  
connections. Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-  
ended connections. Single-ended connections are not recommended  
for connections requiring long cable runs.  
Off  
OPERATION  
When the AC power cord is unplugged from the AC power source,  
the component is off.  
Stand-by Mode  
When the DVD Standard is connected to AC power, the red stand-by  
LED illuminates. This indicates that the component is in stand-by  
mode, a low power consumption status that keeps the audio and reg-  
ulator circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the  
stand-by mode when not playing a disc.  
Operational Mode  
When the power button on the front panel or power key on the  
remote control is pressed and the blue power LED illuminates, the  
component is in the operational mode and ready to play a disc.

Definition of Terms  
VIDEO TECHNOLOGY  
Composite Video  
An encoded video signal that includes horizontal and vertical syn-  
chronizing information.  
Component Video  
A video signal that uses three wires to convey luminance (Y), red  
minus luminance (R-Y), and blue minus luminance (B-Y) signals.  
Progressive Scan Video  
Video signals (noninterlaced) that build screen content in one pass  
rather than the two passes required for standard (interlaced) video.  
This technology eliminates motion artifact and screen line and pro-  
duces film-quality pictures.  
RGB  
Red, green, and blue, the three primary colors used in video  
processing.  
S-Video  
Video signal that separately transmits the color and luminance com-  
ponents of the video signal but does not use three separate wires as  
does component video.  
YPbPr  
One way of designating color difference signals. Y = the luminance  
signal, Pb = the red minus luminance (R-Y) signal, and Pb = the blue  
minus luminance (B-Y) signal.

Krell DVD Standard  
 
Placement  
Before you install the DVD Standard into your system, review the  
following guidelines to choose the location for the component. This  
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation. The DVD Standard  
does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation.  
Place the DVD Standard on a firm, level surface, away from exces-  
sive heat, humidity, or moisture. The DVD Standard requires at least  
two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side and at least two inches  
(5 cm) of clearance above and below the component to provide ade-  
quate ventilation. Installations inside cabinetry may need extra venti-  
lation.  
Note  
The DVD Standard incorporates an advanced suspension system and does  
not require additional mass coupling or isolation. You may experiment with  
feet or cones as long as they are not permanently affixed to the unit. Any  
unauthorized modifications to the unit or electronics will void the warranty.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not attach enhancement accessories such as rings, mats, or  
dampers to individual discs. These accessories may interfere with the  
disc transport, resulting in erratic playback and/or poor performance.  
AC Power  
Guidelines  
The DVD Standard has superb regulation and does not require a  
dedicated AC circuit. Operate the DVD Standard only with the power  
cord supplied.  
Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple AC adapters.  
High quality 15 amp grounded AC strips are acceptable. High quality  
AC line conditioners or filters may be used if they are grounded and  
meet or exceed the unit’s power supply rating of 100 VA.  
Please contact your Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell before using any  
device designed to alter or stabilize the AC power for the DVD  
Standard.

Getting Started  
READ THIS FIRST  
To connect the DVD Standard to your video monitor, you need to:  
connect to AC power, choose your video format, choose and then  
connect video outputs, and configure the DVD Standard to match  
your television format. These steps are explained below.  
Match the video format (NTSC/PAL) of the monitor and the video sig-  
nal of the DVD Standard to avoid a distorted picture.  
IMPORTANT  
Connect to AC Power  
Step 1  
Plug the AC cord into the wall outlet. The red stand-by LED (3) illumi-  
nates.  
Choose the Video Format  
Step 2  
Set the NTSC/PAL switch (25) on the back panel to the format that  
matches your video monitor. See your monitor’s owner’s manual for  
information.  
IMPORTANT  
The NTSC/PAL switch is active only when the DVD Standard is in the  
stand-by mode. Changing the switch position while the component is  
in the operational mode will not change the video format.  
Choose and Connect the Video Outputs  
Step 3  
Choose the output that matches your video monitor. The DVD  
Standard supports both progressive scan video (noninterlaced) and  
standard video (interlaced) outputs. Options for each are explained  
on the following pages.  
The component YPbPr outputs will provide the best quality picture  
when connected to a television capable of accepting a 480p sig-  
nal. This includes most plasma, D-ILA, DLP, and HDTV ready  
televisions.

Getting Started, continued  
Progressive Scan  
(Noninterlaced)  
Video Outputs  
The DVD Standard supports progressive scan (480p) video signals.  
Progressive scan builds video screen content in one pass (as  
opposed to two passes for nonprogressive or interlaced video), thus  
providing better quality picture. Progressive video can also be con-  
nected to a computer monitor.  
The following table details the different progressive video signals,  
connectors, labels, and formats supported by the DVD Standard.  
Note  
To use the progressive scan video outputs on the DVD Standard, the tele-  
vision or video monitor must have a 31.5 kHz horizontal scan rate and a  
progressive or 480p video input.

All of the progressive video outputs should be of comparable quality.  
Multiple formats are provided for compatibility with various televi-  
sions, monitors, and projectors. The DVD Standard has maximum  
progressive scan flexibility. You can send a progressive signal to any  
of the three connectors. For example, if the RGB/YPbPr switch is set  
to RGB, then the RGB, YPbPr, and DB-15 outputs will all output  
RGB signals.  
The RGB/YPbPr switch is active only when the DVD Standard is in the  
stand-by mode. Changing the switch position while the component is  
in the operational mode will not change the video output format.  
IMPORTANT  
See Back Panel Description, on page 15, for more information  
about progressive scan video outputs.

Choosing A Standard Video Signal  
This section describes the three standard video options.  
Component Video. Choose the component connection for video  
monitors that have component (YPbPr or YCbCr) connections.  
Component video is the most accurate standard video signal, using  
three wires to convey luminance, red minus luminance, and blue  
minus luminance signals. These signals bypass television circuitry  
required to process S-video signals, eliminating cross-color contami-  
nation and resulting in more reliable, correct color.  
S-Video. Choose the S-video connection for video monitors that  
have S-video connections but do not have component connections.  
S-video separately transmits the color and luminance components of  
the video signal but does not use three separate wires as does com-  
ponent video. The S-video signals bypass television circuitry required  
by composite video, reducing cross-contamination of color and black  
and white signals, and reducing video noise.  
Composite Video. Choose the composite connection for video mon-  
itors that are not equipped with component video or S-video.

The 12 VDC output sends a 12 Volt power on/off signal to other Krell  
components via a 12 V cable, as well as to other devices that incor-  
porate a 12 V power on/off trigger input. The 12 VDC input receives  
12 Volt power on/off signals from other Krell components and devices  
that incorporate a 12 V trigger. The 12 VDC out and in connections  
let you control the operational and stand-by modes of components  
with 12 V triggers allowing whole systems or parts of systems to be  
easily coordinated.  
Notes  
When the DVD Standard is in the operational mode, 12 VDC output  
provides 12 V of DC output. When the DVD Standard is in the stand-by  
mode or off, DC output is 0 V.  
12 VDC Out (12 V trigger) current is limited to 30 mA.

using your index fingernail or screwdriver to pull down gently on  
the slot to the right of the tab. The battery compartment will slide  
out.  
3. Place the battery, positive (+) side up, in the battery tray.  
4. Slide battery compartment back into the remote until you hear a

Connecting the DVD Standard  
to Your System  
USING BALANCED  
CONNECTIONS  
Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced  
interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but are also  
less sensitive to induced noise, especially with installations using  
long cables. Balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-  
ended connections. When level matching is critical, keep this gain  
value in mind.  
This section provides information about connecting your DVD  
Standard to other components in your system. The DVD Standard is  
equipped with a variety of connection options, for ease of integration  
into your home theater system.

Follow these steps to connect the DVD Standard to your system.  
1. Make sure all power sources and components are off before  
connecting inputs and outputs.  
2. Neatly organize the wiring between the DVD Standard and all  
system components. Separate AC wires from audio cables to  
prevent hum or other unwanted noises from being introduced into  
the system.  
3. Connect the input of your video components to the appropriate  
output of the DVD Standard. See Getting Started, on page 6, for  
information on ensuring that your video monitor and settings are  
compatible with the DVD Standard.  
4. Connect the balanced or single-ended analog outputs.  
5. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC connector (37) on the back  
panel, then plug the AC power cord into the wall socket. The red  
stand-by LED (3) on the front panel illuminates.

any time during the warranty, Krell will repair it at no cost to the owner, except as set forth in  
this warranty.  
The warranty does not apply to damage caused by acts of God or nature.  
The warranty on this page shall be in lieu of any other warranty, expressed or implied, includ-  
ing, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.  
There are no warranties which exceed beyond those described in this document. If this product

Krell be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising from purchase, use, or inability to  
use this product, even if Krell has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Proof of purchase in the form of a bill of sale or receipted invoice substantiating that the unit is  
within the warranty period must be presented to obtain warranty service. The warranty begins  
on the date of the original retail purchase, as noted on the bill of sale or receipted invoice from  
an authorized Krell dealer or distributor. Previously owned equipment, when re-purchased from  
an authorized Krell dealer or distributor, has the balance of the original warranty, based on the  
original date of manufacture.  
The warranty for Krell products is valid only in the country to which they were originally shipped,  
through the authorized Krell distributor for that country, and at the factory. There may be restric-  
tions on or changes to Krells warranty because of regulations within a specific country. Please  
check with your distributor for a complete understanding of the warranty in your country.  
If a unit is serviced by a distributor who did not import the unit, there may be a charge for ser-  
vice, even if the product is within the warranty period.  
Freight to the factory is your responsibility. Return freight within the United States (U.S.A.) is  
included in the warranty. If you have purchased your Krell product outside the U.S.A. and wish  
to have it serviced at the factory, all freight and associated charges to the factory are your  
responsibility.  
Krell will pay return freight to the U.S.A.-based freight forwarder of your choice. Freight and  
other charges to ship the unit from the freight forwarder to you are also your responsibility.  
Krell is not responsible for any damage incurred in transit. Krell will file claims for damages as  
necessary for units damaged in transit to the factory. You are responsible for filing claims for  
shipping damages during the return shipment.  
Krell does not supply replacement parts and/or products to the owner of the unit. Replacement  
parts and/or products will be furnished only to the distributor performing service on this unit on  
an exchange basis only; any parts and/or products returned to Krell for exchange become the  
property of Krell.  
No expressed or implied warranty is made for any Krell product damaged by accident, abuse,  
misuse, natural or personal disaster, or unauthorized modification.  
Any unauthorized voltage conversion, disassembly, component replacement, perfora-  
tion of chassis, updates, or modifications performed to the unit will void the warranty.  
The operating voltage of this unit is determined by the factory and can only be changed by an  
authorized Krell distributor or at the factory. The voltage for this product in the U.S.A. cannot be  
changed until six months from the original purchase date.  
In the event that Krell receives a product for warranty service that has been modified in any  
way without Krell authorization, all warranties on that product will be void. The product will be  
returned to original factory layout specifications at the owners expense before it is repaired. All  
repairs required after the product has been returned to original factory specifications will be  
charged to the customer, at current parts and labor rates.  
All operational features, functions, and specifications and policies are subject to change without  
notification.
