Krell S-300i 1 5

This section provides information about operating the S - 3 0 0 i. T h e

S-300i provides input selection,volume control operation and any

of the various menu functions via the front panel. The remote con-

trol includes additional source, preamp and amplifier functions as

well. See Remote Control Only, on page 9, for more information.

After the S - 3 0 0 i is connected to AC power and in the stand-by

mode, use the power button or key (1) to switch the component

to the operational mode. The blue power LED (2) illuminates.

The S - 3 0 0 i Remote Control Integrated Amplifier is easy to operate.

H o w e v e r, great care should be exercised when operating a system

that includes the S - 3 0 0 i, because of the amplifier’s power output.

Switching between active sources without muting the preamplifier

output, or bumping/miscuing a device, can generate large tran-

sients at low frequencies. The S - 3 0 0 i may generate enough power

with these transients to damage most loudspeakers. To avoid

damage, be sure to switch all sources with the preamplifier level

either muted or fully attenuated.

Krell amplifiers have large reserves of clean power and can safely drive

loudspeakers to higher sound pressure levels than other amplifiers.

H o w e v e r, use care when setting high playback levels and lower the vol -

ume level at any sign of loudspeaker distress.

When powering up any system, always turn amplifiers on last.

When powering down, always turn amplifiers off first.

1 . When the amplifier is in stand-by mode, with the red stand-by

LED (2) illuminated, turn the amplifier on by pressing the

power button on the front panel or the power key on the

remote control (1). There is an audible click. The blue power

LED (2) illuminates. The S-300i is now in the operational

m o d e .

2 . With the amplifier in the mute position, or the volume control

fully attenuated, select a source from the front panel or the

remote control (4).
