DTS Digital Surround ™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and
played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD,
or DVD player,excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if
the analog outputs areconnected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround ™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital
Surround ™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD, or DVD player.

Krell S–1000 1
Thank you for your purchase of the Krell S–1000 Surround Preamp/
Processor.
The S–1000 serves as the centerpiece in a Krell HEAT™—High End
Audio Theater—system, which applies the fundamental principles of
Krell engineering to the creation of a fully integrated high-perfor-
mance multi-channel sound system. The S–1000 delivers outstand-
ing music and cinema soundtrack reproduction through the use of a
full complement of advanced Krell technologies including discrete
Class A, direct-coupled circuitry with balanced outputs, user-config-
urable input assignment, and broadcast-quality video circuitry fea-
turing HDMI™ technology.
The S–1000 features Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES 6.1,
DTS NEO:6, and Dolby ProLogic II processing, in addition to nine
proprietary Krell Music Surround modes. This flexibility allows
upgrades to software via Flash memory for future surround sound
formats and design enhancements.
The owner’s reference manual contains important information on
placement, installation, and operation of the Krell S–1000. Please
read this information carefully.Athorough understanding of these
details helps ensure satisfactory operation of, and long life for your
S–1000 and related system components.
Introduction

2Krell S–1000
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-
ence manual:
Balanced
Asymmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from
both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The
industry standard for professional and sound recording installations,
balanced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended con-
nections and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced
connections are immune to induced noise from the system or the
environment.
Single-ended
Atwo-wireinput or output circuit. Use carewhen using single-ended
connections as the ground connection is made last and broken first.
Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-ended con-
nections. Single-ended connections arenot recommended for con-
nections requiring long cable runs.
Off
When the power switch on the back panel is placed in the down
position and LEDs turn off, the component is off.
Stand-by Mode
When the S–1000 is connected to AC power and the back panel
power switch is on, the power/stand-by LED (2) illuminates in red.
This indicates that the component is in stand-by mode, a low power
consumption status that keeps the audio and regulator circuits at
idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the stand-by mode
when it is not playing music.
Operational Mode
When the component is in the stand-by mode, and you press the
power button/pre key (1) the power/stand-by LED illuminates in
blue. The component is in the operational mode and is ready to play
music.

Krell HEAT
The Krell term HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, is a design applica-
tion incorporated into Krell components to enhance multi-channel
home entertainment systems. A Krell HEAT system is an integrated
home theater system consisting of a state-of-the-art Krell preamp/
processor and matching amplifiers that reproduce two channel and
multi-channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing the
audience in the middle of a lifelike environment.
HDMI™
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) is a digital connection
standard designed to provide the highest possible uncompressed
video and audio quality over a single cable and connector.
Composite Video
An encoded video signal that transmits luminance (Y) and color (C)
information on one wire.
S-Video
Video signal that separately transmits the luminance (Y) and color (C)
components of the video signal using one wire.
Component Video
Avideo signal that uses three wires to convey luminance (Y), red
minus luminance (R-Y), and blue minus luminance (B-Y) signals.
Component video signals may be interlaced or progressive.
Progressive signals build screen content in one pass rather than the
two passes required for standard (interlaced) video. Progressive
technology eliminates motion artifacts and produces film-quality pic-
tures. Both your source and video monitor must be equipped with
progressive video technology to realize this advantage.
YPbPr
One way of designating color difference signals, in which:
Y=the luminance signal
Pb = blue minus luminance (B-Y) signal
Pr = red minus luminance (R-Y) signal

Note

Krell S–1000 5
Before you install the S–1000 Surround Preamp/processor into your
system, review the following guidelines to choose the location for
the component. This will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation.
The S–1000 does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for
installation. For the dimensions of your S–1000 see Specifications,
on pages 66-67.
The S–1000 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 adequate ventilation. In addition, the
S–1000 requires at least three inches (7 cm) of clearance between
other connected components. For installations inside cabinetry,
extra ventilation may be necessary.
The S–1000 has superb regulation and does not requireadedicated
AC circuit. Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple
AC adapters. High quality 15 amp grounded AC strips are accept-
able.
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.
Use the S–1000 only with the power cord supplied.

12 Krell S–1000
The S–1000 remote control uses one CR2025 lithium battery, which
is included with the shipment.
To open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control:
1. Place the remote face down on the table.
2. Use your thumbnail or a small jeweler’s or eyeglass screwdriver
to move the small tab toward the center of the remote, while
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, plus side up, in the battery tray.
4. Slide battery compartment back into the remote until you hear a
click.
The remote control is ready for operation.
Do not use a knife or other sharp objects to open the battery compartment;
they will scratch the remote control finish.
Replace batteries when remote control function becomes intermittent.
Remove batteries if the remote control is not to be used for a long period of
time. Battery leakage can damage the remote control.
The S–1000 Surround Preamp/processor remote control provides
access to IR controllable power amplifiers, accesses the system
configuration menu and on screen display (OSD), and a special key
to engage digital room EQ. Other functions on the remote control
duplicate front panel functions.
These keys are not active on the S–1000 remote control: MAIN, Z2, THX.
The LD key (6) on the remote corresponds to the cable button/LED (6) on
the front panel.
The following functions areonly accessible from the front panel, and are not
