Thank you for your purchase of the Krell Showcase DVD.
The Showcase DVD produces a brilliant video image through the use
of the high bandwidth circuit architecture, pioneered by Krell in the
DVD Standard, and is at the forefront of DVD video technology with
HDMI, an optional scalable output stage.
Acarefully regulated power supply results in picture stability, even
during line fluctuations while the proprietary Krell Digital Video Filter
enhances DAC performance. The Krell Current Mode output stage
delivers outstanding bass weight, midrange articulation, and high fre-
quency extension.
The wireless infrared remote control, and RS-232 and 12 VDC
remote connection options on the back panel allow you to integrate
the Showcase DVD into advanced control systems. The user-friendly
setup menu provides a variety of audio, video, and access control
options for optimum configuration and enjoyment of your Showcase
DVD and home theater system.
This owner’s reference manual contains important information on
placement, connection, and operation of your Showcase DVD.
Please read this information carefully. A thorough understanding of
these details will help ensure satisfactory operation and long life for
your Showcase DVD and related system components.
Introduction
Krell Showcase DVD 1
Definition of Terms
2Krell Showcase DVD
Operation
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s refer-
ence manual.
Button
Front panel selection device on the Showcase DVD.
Key
Remote control selection device on the Showcase DVD.
Video Monitor
Video screen without a receiver.
Television
Video screen with a receiver. The term “television” in this document
stands for a video screen with or without a receiver.
Balanced
Asymmetrical input or output circuit that has equal impedance from
both input terminals to a common ground reference point. The indus-
try standard for professional and sound recording installations, bal-
anced connections have 6 dB more gain than single-ended connec-
tions and allow the use of long interconnect cables. Balanced con-
nections are more immune to induced noise from the system or the
environment.
Single-ended
Atwo-wire input or output circuit. Use care when using single-ended
connections. Turn the system off prior to making or breaking single-
ended connections. Single-ended connections are not recommended
for connections requiring long cable runs.
Off
When the AC power cord is unplugged from the AC power source,
the component is off.
Stand-by Mode
When the Showcase DVD is connected to AC power, the red stand-
by LED illuminates. This indicates that the component is in stand-by
mode, a low power consumption status that keeps the audio and reg-
ulator circuits at idle. Krell recommends leaving the component in the
stand-by mode when not playing a disc.
Operational Mode
When the power button on the front panel or power key on the
remote control is pressed and the blue power LED illuminates, the
component is in the operational mode and ready to play a disc.

Video Technology
VIDEO SIGNAL
OPTIONS
BUILDING THE VIDEO
PICTURE
Video Signal
Asignal which includes all the information present in the video pic-
ture. There are three basic elements in a video picture: color, bright-
ness, and synchronization data.
Chrominance (C or Chroma). The color portion of a video
signal.
Luminance (Y, Brightness, or Luma). The monochrome
portion of a video signal.
Component Video Signal (3 Signals)
Three separate signals transmit: luma (Y), blue minus luma (B-Y),
and red minus luma (R-Y), resulting in a high quality, film-like picture.
YPbPr (or PrPbY). One way to designate the three signals used
in component video. Y = the luma signal, Pb = the blue minus
luma (B-Y) chroma signal, and Pr = the red minus luma (R-Y)
chroma signal.
S-Video Signal (2 Signals)
Two separate signals transmit the luma (Y) and chroma (C). S-video
signals bypass television circuitry required by composite video, and
reduces video noise as well as cross-contamination of luma and
chroma signals.
Composite Video Signal (1 Signal)
One signal transmits luma (Y) chroma (color), and synchronization
data.
Interlaced (standard) signals build the video picture in two passes.
Progressive signals build the video picture in one pass. This tech-
nology eliminates motion artifacts and produces film-quality pictures.
Both the video source and television must be equipped with progres-
sive video connections.

Showcase DVD and lift it straight out of the shipping box.
3. Place the Showcase DVD in a safe location and remove the end-
caps and protective plastic wrapping.
Only one person needed.
Notes If any of these items are not included in the shipping box, please contact
your authorized Krell dealer, distributor, or Krell for assistance.
Save all packing materials. If you ship your Showcase DVD in the future,
repack the unit in its original packaging to prevent transit damage. See
Return Authorization Procedure, on page 56, for more information.
Krell Showcase DVD 5
Before you install the Showcase DVD into your system, review the
following guidelines to choose the location for the component. This
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation. The Showcase DVD
does not require any type of special rack or cabinet for installation.
Place the Showcase DVD on a firm, level surface, away from exces-
sive heat, humidity, or moisture. The Showcase DVD requires at
least one inch (2.5 cm) of clearance on each side and at least one
inch (2.5 cm) of clearance above and below the component to pro-
vide adequate ventilation. Installations inside cabinetry may need
extra ventilation.
The Showcase DVD incorporates an advanced suspension system and
does not require additional mass coupling or isolation. You may experiment
with feet or cones as long as they are not permanently affixed to the unit.
Any unauthorized modifications to the unit or electronics will void the war-
ranty.
Do not attach enhancement accessories such as rings, mats, or
dampers to individual discs. These accessories may interfere with the
disc transport, resulting in erratic playback and/or poor performance.
The Showcase DVD has superb regulation and does not require a
dedicated AC circuit. Operate the Showcase DVD only with the
power cord supplied.
Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple AC adapters.
High quality 15 amp grounded AC strips are acceptable. High quality
AC line conditioners or filters may be used if they are grounded and
meet or exceed the unit’s power supply rating of 100 VA.

AC Power
Guidelines
6Krell Showcase DVD
The Showcase DVD is shipped ready to play from the factory. The
player automatically switches to NTSC or PAL, depending on the
disc format. The default standard is preset, and not selectable by the
user.
To get started, Krell recommends the following routine:
Connect the Showcase DVD to AC Power
Plug the AC cord into the wall outlet. The red stand-by LED (3) illumi-
nates.
Choose and Connect the Video Outputs
to Your Television
Choose the output that matches your television input. The Showcase
DVD supports composite, S-Video, interlaced, and progressive
scan (480p) component video signals. See Definition of Terms, on
page 3, for a detailed description of video signals.
The progressive PrPbY outputs will provide the best quality pic-
ture, because they build video screen content in one pass. To
achieve this picture quality, the progressive PrPb Y outputs need
to be connected to a television with a 31.5 kHz horizontal scan
rate, capable of accepting a progressive signal of 480p or better.
Most plasma, D-ILA, DLP, and HDTV televisions have this fea-
ture.
Connect the Showcase DVD directly to the television. Set the TV to the cor-
rect video input channel.
An optional HDMI connector is available for the Showcase DVD. The
connector produces the following digital component signals: 480p,
720p, and 1080i.
