Krell Full Power Balanced X Series Power Amplifiers
Remote Control Operation
Full Power Balanced amplifiers are compatible with the remote con-
trols included with Krell preamplifiers, the Home Theater Standard
7.1, and the KPS 25sc Krell Playback System.
Please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell to
purchase a remote control for Full Power Balanced amplifiers.
Full Power Balanced amplifiers can be located in a room or space
close to the speakers but out of sight, and powered on or off
remotely from the listening room, through a control amplifier. See
Krell Trigger Connections,
on page 14.
The amplifier must be in the stand-by mode with the rear panel
power breaker switch on. While holding the silver power button in,
press the power key on the remote control. After the amplifier fin-
ishes its turn-on sequence, the front panel blue LEDs turn off. The
blue LEDs remain off throughout normal operation as long as the
amplifier’s rear panel power breaker switch is not turned off.
With the amplifier in the stand-by mode, turn the rear panel power
breaker switch to the off position. Then turn the rear panel power
breaker switch back to the on position. The next time the amplifier
is powered up from the front panel or the remote control, the blue
LEDs illuminate during the turn-on sequence.
Press the meter key on a Krell remote to switch between CAST
inputs and the balanced XLR inputs.
Full Power Balanced amplifiers default to CAST operation upon start-
up, if the amplifier is turned off from the rear panel power breaker
switch and a CAST source and cable are connected to the CAST
inputs. The operational mode does not change if the Full Power
Balanced amplifier is in stand-by mode.
Full Power Balanced amplifiers can be powered on from an AC wall
receptacle with a dedicated switch, rather than from the front panel
power button or optional remote control.
Please contact your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for
more information before you connect your Full Power Balanced
amplifier to a dedicated AC wall outlet with a switch.
