Theatre systems sold in the USA.)
PAL
Choose this if all programming is per the PAL standard. (This is the broadcast
standard across much of Europe and is the default for KEF Instant Theatre
systems sold in the UK and Europe.)
Auto
Choose this if using a multi-standard TV and for programming that is a mixture of
NTSC and PAL,
as in countries where DVDs might not all be published in the same format.
DVD Output
DVD Output determines which video output, in addition to Composite (RCA), will
carry video signals from the KEF Instant Theatre to your TV. (You will see a
prompt message when selecting a new DVD output, highlight and SELECT "YES" to
confirm any changes to this setting. This is to prevent you setting an output video
format which is not displayable on your TV). It should be noted that a SCART lead
is provided in Europe because many TVs have this connection and it gives better
video quality.
If using a SCART lead then the setting of DVD Output is not necessary.
Composite/S
Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to only the
Composite (RCA) input or the S-Video input of the TV.
Component
Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to the Component
(RGB) input of the TV. In this case, connect the Composite input as well, so that
you can view non-DVD sources and to allow you to set the component and
progressive options whilst the default DVD output is composite and S-video only.
When watching a DVD, switch the input of the TV to "Component" or "RGB." (The
KEF Instant Theatre's Component and S-video outputs cannot both be active at the
same time.) Component gives the best video quality for plasma, projector, or
other component compatible televisions or monitors.
Progressive
Select "On" if using the Component output for DVD programs with a TV that
supports
'progressive scan'. Otherwise, select "off". Progressive scan gives improved
picture quality on a compatible monitor or television but must be used in
conjunction with component DVD Output.
It will output PAL or NTSC progressive output as defined by the source material.

Audio Menu

The Audio menu allows for calibration of the KEF Instant Theatre for use in
unusually shaped or furnished rooms, and for turning off the surround sound, if
this should be desired. To adjust bass/treble use the dedicated buttons on the
remote control.
Surround Sound
Normally, the default of "All purpose" is suitable for all users, but one may
choose another setting for surround sound as follows:
Off (Stereo)
Choose this setting to turn surround sound off. Stereo mode must be selected if
you are using the 'Record/multi room output' on the rear of the subwoofer to
record or drive a separate pair
of speakers.
Matrix
Use this setting to hear some degree of surround sound from monophonic
recordings and movies.
Movie
Use this setting to experience Dolby Pro Logic II Movie decoded audio which
produces different surround effects for films and video games. Leave MOVIE
switched off if you are listening to MUSIC.
All purpose
As the name suggests, this setting will optimise your system depending on what
program material is present with the exception of monophonic recordings. If the
source contains Dolby Digital
or DTS
signals then these will always play by
T M
T M
default. Other sources will be played in a configuration of Prologic II chosen by
