Krell Home Theater Standard 7.1
The Home Theater Standard 7.1 has two audio zones, main and
zone 2. The main zone consists of the main viewing or listening area,
and zone 2 consists of another listening area. You can select a digital
or analog audio, or a video device for the main zone. Zone 2 can
only be used with an analog audio device. To configure a device that
has both digital and analog outputs, see Configure Devices, on
page 38.
The Home Theater Standard 7.1 two-zone operation offers a number
of listening options.
•
You can play both zones simultaneously, with the main zone
playing a source in one part of the house and zone 2 playing a
different (or the same) source in another part of the house.
•
With the Home Theater Standard 7.1 in operational or stand-by
mode, you can activate the main zone only. Or, while the Home
Theater Standard 7.1 is still in stand-by mode, you can set up
zone 2 listening so that when you switch to operational mode,
only zone 2 plays.
•
You can play a source using the main zone while using zone 2 to
record.
The red LED illuminates when the input is engaged and playing in
the main zone. The green LED illuminates when the input is engaged
and playing in zone 2. You can set the zone 2 output to be fixed or
variable, see Configure Level Adjustment, on page 47.

Notes
3. Use the tape output to create a processor loop, when the Home
Theater Standard 7.1 is connected to a graphic equalizer or other
ancillary equipment. Connect the equipment to the Home Theater
Standard 7.1 tape outputs (37) as described in the equipment
manufacturer’s manual. Press the tape button (14) or key (70) to
switch between the processor output (LED illuminated) and the
input source (LED not illuminated).
The tape output functions only with analog sources.
There is no tape output from the 7.1 multichannel input.
When changing sources, lower the volume to off or mute the output. This
ensures that the next source played does not damage your system with a
high output transient.
