These easy-to-follow, step-by-step menus let you set up your Home Theater Standard for optimum performance. Detailed instructions begin on page 26. Krell recommends that you configure your component in the following order: 1.
System Setup and Configuration The remote control is the main input device for the Home Theater Standard. All initial setup and subsequent system configuration adjustments must be made through the remote control, or via the RS-232 port.

Bass Range The speaker setup screen also shows the bass ranges for the front, center, and rear speakers. Options available are not bass limited (FULL-RANGE) or bass limited (LIMITED). The option you select depends on the low frequency capabilities of each speaker in your system.
After selecting the appropriate option for your speakers, press enter (83), highlight OK, and press enter (83) again. You return to the speaker system setup menu.
Note Any speaker not configured in the speaker system setup menu displays N/A (not available) for the distance specification. 3. CALIBRATE VOLUME The third menu option, calibrate volume, allows you to calibrate each channel using the Home Theater Standard’s internal noise generator.
