others. When all channels sound equally loud press STOP on the
remote to exit the menu. It is recommended that a Sound Pressure
Level meter is used to measure the sound levels accurately. It is
possible to adjust the subwoofer level during this process, but KEF
recommends only confirming that the subwoofer is working, not
attempting to match its level to that of the other speakers. It is best
to make fine adjustments to the subwoofer level using dedicated SUB
VOL the remote control keys during normal listening. The KEF instant
theatre includes the option to change the relative level of the centre
channel. It is occasionally necessary to increase the speech in quiet
films, this is done by raising the centre volume.
Video Menu
The Video menu allows the KEF instant theatre to be
optimised for use with different TVs and different countries’
broadcast standards.
Video Output
Determines which video output will carry video
signals from the KEF instant theatre to your TV. (You will see a
prompt message when selecting a new DVD output, highlight and
SELECT “YES” to confirm any changes to this setting. This is to
prevent you setting an output video format which is not displayable
on your TV). It should be noted that a SCART cable is provided in
Europe because many TVs have this connection.
HDMI Supports standard, enhanced and high definition digital video.
Video resolutions up to 1080p are supported. The default is AUTO
which allows the TV to negotiate the best setting automatically.
HDMI video resolutions can only be changed if the HDMI connection
is currently made with a HDMI TV to prevent you from selecting a
resolution which is not supported by your TV.
Component Choose this setting if the KEF instant theatre will be
connected to the Component (YPbPr) input of the TV. Component
gives the best video analogue quality for plasma, projector, or other
component compatible televisions or monitors. Select the correct
resolution for your TV up to usually 720p (progressive) or 1080i
(interlaced).
S-Video/Composite Choose this setting if the KEF instant theatre
will be connected to only the Composite (RCA) input or the S-Video
input of the TV.
SCART Choose this setting if the KEF instant theatre will be
connected to your TV with the supplied SCART cable. This will
output an RGB video signal over the SCART connection for better
video quality. If your TV supports pin 8 and 16 SCART switching
then your TV will switch to the correct input channel and aspect ratio
when the KEF instant theatre is not in standby. The SCART
connection also takes the audio from your TV to your KEF instant
theatre so that the TV is heard when the TV source is selected.
TV Standard
Television programs are broadcast, and videos or
DVDs are published, in different formats in different countries.
Choose the format that best matches the local video/broadcast
environment.
NTSC Choose this if all programming is per the NTSC standard.
(Default for KEF instant theatre systems sold in the USA.)
PAL Choose this if all programming is per the PAL standard. (This is
the broadcast standard across much of Europe and is the default for
KEF instant theatre systems sold in the UK and Europe.)
AUTO Auto will return the TV Standard setting on your KEF Instant
Theatre back to its original factory setting so that it is correct for the
region in which you purchased your KEF Instant Theatre.
Surround Sound
Normally the default of “All purpose” is
suitable for all users, but you may choose another setting for
surround sound as follows:
All purpose As the name suggests, this setting will optimise your
system depending on the program material present with the
exception of monophonic recordings. If the source contains Dolby
Digital
TM or DTS TM signals then these will always play by default.
Other sources will be played in a configuration of Dolby Pro Logic II
chosen by KEF Audio for optimum reproduction of an analogue
source material.
Stereo CD Similar to All Purpose mode except that all stereo sources
will use only the front speakers to give pure stereo sound instead of
Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.
Movie Only Use this setting to experience Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
decoded audio which produces different surround effects for films
and video games.
Stereo Only Choose this setting to turn surround sound off.
Mono Only Use this setting to hear some degree of surround sound
from monophonic recordings and movies. It implements Dolby
Digital Matrix audio decoding.
Dynamic Range Control
Dynamic Range Control will compress
the sound for better listening at night when you do not wish to
disturb others in the house.
Off The KEF instant theatre’s default is to have DRC turned off.
This will not apply any compression to Dolby Digital audio content.
On This will increase the volume of quiet sounds such as speech at
the same time as decreasing the volume of loud special effects such
as explosions.
Auto This will automatically turn on DRC when the volume is set to
less than 25 on your KEF instant theatre.
Delays
For the best surround sound performance it is important
that the sound from all the speakers reach the listeners ear at the
same time. To compensate for the fact that the centre speaker and
the rear speakers may be positioned closer to the listener than the
front left and right speaker, the KEF Instant Theatre allows you to
slightly delay the audio signal sent to the centre and rear speakers.
For the two speaker systems (kit120, kit140 and kit160) the delays
are irrelevant as the centre channel is created from the left and right
Uni-Q speakers and the surround channels are created from the di-
pole panels in the back of the front speakers.
The centre channel delay can be varied between 0 and 5ms. Each
millisecond corresponds to approximately 1 foot or 30 centimetres.
The default is 2ms, which equates to the centre speaker being 60cm
closer than the left and right speakers. The surround channels delay
can be varied between 0 and 15ms. The default is 5ms, which equates
to the rear speakers being 1.5 meters closer than the left and right
front speakers. In the rare occasion when the centre or rear speakers
are further away from the main listening position, then the delays
should be set to 0ms.
Calibration Menu
The standard settings will already be correct
for a normal room. The calibration menu allows you to test that the
speakers are all connected and allows you to adjust individual
speaker levels if required for your individual room.
Sitting in a central seat of the listening/viewing area, highlight and
SELECT “Calibration” to start the acoustic calibration process. Noise
will emanate from one channel, then the next, and the next, right
around the listening/viewing area. Use the volume up and down keys
to adjust the volume of any channel that doesn’t appear to match the
