Battery Installation
INSTALLATION / CONNECTION
OVERVIEW
To prepare the KID for operation, follow the con-
necting sequence below:
1. Install the batteries in the remote. (This page.)
BATTERY INSTALLATION
AND REMOVAL
The KID 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 eye-
glass 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.
CONNECTION STEPS
The KID connects to a preamplifier, processor, or
amplifier as an A/V source. In addition, it connects to
the Krell PAPA Dock, a 150 W amplifier specifically
designed for the Krell KID. The KID is equipped with
a balanced and single-ended analog audio output,
as well as an S-video and a composite video output.
Follow these steps to connect the KID to your sys-
tem:
1. Make sure all power sources and components
are off before connecting inputs and outputs.
2. Neatly arrange and organize wiring between the
KID and all system components. Separate AC
wires from audio cables to prevent hum or other
unwanted noise from being introduced into the
system.
3. Remember that balanced outputs use three-pin
XLR connectors. Single-ended outputs use
RCA connectors. Maintain the correct left/right
orientation.

2. Connect the KID to your system and plug the
KID into AC power. (This page.)
4. Insert the ipod-device in the KID docking station.

4. Slide battery compartment back into the
remote until you hear a click.
The remote control is ready for operation.
Note. Do not use a knife or other sharp objects to
open the battery compartment; to avoid scratching
the remote control finish.
Note. Replace batteries when remote control func-
tion 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.
4. Connect the balanced or single-ended analog
audio outputs to the corresponding inputs on
the preamplifer or processor, or to the amplifier
in your system.
5. Connect the S-video or composite output to
the corresponding input on the monitor in your
system.
6. Plug the AC power cord into the IEC power
connector on the back panel. Then plug the AC
power cord into the wall socket.
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. Balanced connections have 6 dB
more gain than single-ended connections. When
level matching is critical, keep this specification in
mind. Krell recommends using balanced inputs for
components that use the preamplifier mode.
