Krell Showcase DVD
Operation
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-
ence manual.
Button
Front panel selection device on the Showcase DVD.
Key
Remote control selection device on the Showcase DVD.
Video Monitor
Video screen without a receiver.
Television
Video screen with a receiver. The term “television” in this document
stands for a video screen with or without a receiver.
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
When the AC power cord is unplugged from the AC power source,
the component is off.
Stand-by Mode
When the Showcase DVD 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.
