To simplify the integration of an audio/video surround sound proces-
sor into your system, set any input on the FBI (C-1, B-1,S-1, S-2, or
S-3) to operate as a unity gain stage. Krell calls this configuration
Theater Throughput.
When you configure a FBI input for Theater Throughput, the FBI
volume and balance controls are transferred to the audio/video
surround sound processor, for integrated volume and balance
management as well as ease of operation. As long as the FBI
input is configured for Theater Throughput and connected to the
audio/video surround sound processor's input configured for
Theater Throughput, all FBI volume and balance adjustments are
made through the surround sound processor. When you disen-
gage the FBI input from Theater Throughput, the volume and bal-
ance controls revert to the FBI.
1. Turn on the FBI power.
2. Press and release the button on the front panel or the key on
the remote for the device you wish to configure for Theater
Throughput. The LED illuminates.
3. Press the button or key again and hold it for 4 seconds. The
front panel display (13) shows "thr."
Make sure the level on the source component is set to zero when
configuring the FBI input set for Theater Throughput. Source com-
ponents without level controls should not be connected to an input
configured for Theater Throughput. Doing so can result in excessive
and possibly damaging volume levels when the source is played.
Always turn off the source component before you configure any
input on the FBI for Theater Throughput.
When you disengage the Fully Balanced Integrated amplifier input
from Theater Throughput, the volume and balance controls revert
to the Fully Balanced Integrated amplifier.
1. Turn on the FBI power.
2. Press and release the button on the front panel or the key on
the remote for the device you wish to disengage from Theater
Throughput. The LED illuminates.
3. Press the button or key again and hold it for 4 seconds. The
phrase "thr" disappears from the front panel display (13), indi-
cating that Theater Throughput is disengaged.
