Connecting the S–1000 to Your System This section provides information about connecting the S–1000 Surround Preamp/processor to analog and digital sources, video sources, and amplifiers. The S–1000 is equipped with balanced and singleended inputs. Krell recommends using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced interconnect cables not only can minimize sonic loss but also are immune to induced noise, especially for installations using long cables.
Connecting the S–1000 to Your System, continued Next: Connect Video Sources 4. Connect the video source outputs to the appropriate video inputs on the S–1000. Component video inputs. Use the component connection when the source device (DVD) and output device (TV) both feature component connections. Component video signals use three wires that convey luminance (Y), red minus luminance [R – Y] (Pr), and blue minus luminance [B – Y] (Pb) signals.
Connecting the S–1000 to Your System, continued Last: Connect Amplifiers and Sources The S–1000 has balanced outputs with XLR connectors and singleended outputs with RCA connectors. Both outputs are active at all times, allowing simultaneous connection to separate amplifiers. Connect only one of these output formats to a single amplifier. 6. Connect the outputs of the S–1000 to the input(s) of your power amplifier(s). 7.
