Krell KAV–280p
To simplify the integration of an audio/video surround sound
processor into your system, set any input on the KAV–280p (S-1,
S-2, S-3, or B-1) to operate as a unity gain stage. Krell calls this
configuration Theater Throughput.
When you configure a KAV–280p input for Theater Throughput,
the KAV–280p 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
KAV–280p input is configured for Theater Throughput and con-
nected to the audio/video surround sound processor's input config-
ured for Theater Throughput, all KAV–280p volume and balance
adjustments are made through the surround sound processor.
When you disengage the KAV–280p input from Theater
Throughput, the volume and balance controls revert to the
KAV–280p.
1. Turn on the KAV–280p power.
2. Press and release the button (5) for the device you wish to
configure for Theater Throughput. The LED illuminates.
3. Press the button again and hold it for four seconds. The word
thr
appears on the front panel display (11).
Make sure the level on the source component is set to zero when
configuring the KAV–280p input set for Theater Throughput. Source
components 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 KAV–280p for Theater Throughput.
1. Turn on the KAV–280p power.
2. Press and release the button (5) for the device you wish to dis-
engage from Theater Throughput. The LED illuminates.
