Cornpact Disc Player. TheKAV-280cd
features a precision disc
transport mechanism
and high performanceanalog circuitry that provide Krell soundquality at an exceptionalvalue.
TheKAV-280cd
output circuitry features four digital-to-analog converters providing fully balancedoperationfrom DACs
to output. The
DSP
digital filter provides8x oversampling.
Krell ClassA direct coupled
circuitry meansthat the KAV-280cd
delivers the mostaccuratemusic
signal into your system.Thewireless infrared remotecontrol as well
as the remotecontrol connectionoptions on the back panel allow you
to integrate the KAV-280cd
into whole housesystems.
This owner’sreference manualcontains important information on
placement,installation, and operation of the KAV-280cd.
Pleaseread
this informationcarefully. A thoroughunderstanding
of thesedetails
will help ensuresatisfactory operationandlong life for your
KAV-280cdand related systemcomponents.

Definition of Terms
Followingare the definitions of key termsusedin your owner’sreference manual.
INPUT AND OUTPUT
CONNECTIONS
Balanced
A symmetricalinput or output circuit that has equal impedance
from
both input terminals to a common
groundreference point. The industry standardfor professionalandsoundrecordinginstallations, balancedconnections have 6 dB moregain than single-ended connections andallow the useof long interconnect cables. Balancedconnections are completely immuneto induced noise from the systemor
the environment.
Single-ended
A two-wire input or output circuit. Usecare whenusing single-ended
connectionsas the groundconnectionis madelast and brokenfirst.
Tumthe systemoff prior to makingor breaking single-endedconnec:
tions. Single-endedconnections are not recommended
for connections requiring long cable runs.
OPERATION
Off
Whenthe AC powercord is unpluggedfrom the ACpower source,
the component
is off.
Stand-by Mode
Whenthe KAV-280cdis connectedto AC power, the red stand-by
LEDilluminates. This indicates that the corn ponentis in stand-by
mode,a low powerconsumptionstatus that keepsthe audio and regulator circuits at idle. Krell recommends
leaving the componentin the
stand-bymodewhenit is not playing music.
Operational Mode
Whenthe powerbutton on the front panel or pwr key on the remote
control is pressedand the blue powerLEDilluminates, the component is in the operational modeand ready to play music.
TECHNOLOGY
2
Krell Current Mode
A proprietary Krell circuit topologyin whichthe audiogain stagesof a
component
operate in the current rather than the voltage domain.
This unique technology provides the componentwith exceptional
speedand a wide bandwidth.

Placement
Before you install the KAV-280cd
into your system,review the
following guidelines to choosethe location for the KAV-280cd.
This
will facilitate a clean, trouble-free installation. TheKAV-280cd
does
not require anytype of special rack or cabinetfor installation. For the
dimensionsof the KAV-280cd,see Specifications, on the back
cover.
Place the KAV-280cd
on a firm, level surface, awayfrom excessive
heat, humidity, or moisture. TheKAV-280cd
requires at least two
inches (5 cm) of clearanceon eachside and at least two inches
(5 cm) of clearance aboveand belowthe componentto provide adequateventilation. Installations inside cabinetry mayneedextra ventilation.
Do not place the KAV-280cdnear humsensitive componentssuch
as preamplifier phonostages or turntables. Althoughthe KAV-280cd
is well shielded, placing it near thesecomponents
could create interference and cause hum.
Note
TheKAV-280cd
incorporates an advanced
suspensionsystemand does
not requireadditionalmasscouplingor isolation. Youmayexperiment
with
feet or conesas longas theyarenot permanently
affixed to the unit. Any
unauthorized
modifications
to the unit or electronicswill void the warran~
IMPORTANT
Do not attach enhancement
accessories
suchas rings, mats,or
dampers
to individual compact
discs. Theseaccessories
mayinterfere
withthe compact
disc transport,resultingin erratic playback
and~or
poor sound.
AC Power
Guidelines
TheKAV-280cd
has superb regulation and does not require a dedicated ACcircuit. Avoid connectionsthroughextensioncords or multiple ACadapters. High quality 15 ampgroundedACstrips are acceptable. Highquality ACline conditionersor filters maybe usedif they
are groundedand meetor exceedthe unit’s powersupply rating of
100 VA.

Connecting the KAV-280cd
to Your System
USING BALANCED
CONNECTIONS
Krell recommends
using balanced interconnect cables. Balanced
interconnect cables not only can minimizesonic loss but are also
immune
to inducednoise, especially with installations using long
cables. Balancedconnectionshave 6 dB moregain than singleendedconnections.Whenlevel matchingis critical, keepthis gain
value in mind.
Connection
Steps
Follow these steps to connect the KAV-280cd
to your system.
1. Makesure all powersources and componentsare off before
connectinginputs and outputs.
Neatly organize the wiring betweenthe KAV-280cd
and all system components.Separate ACwires from audio cables to prevent humor other unwantednoises from being introduced into
the system.
Connectthe interconnect cables from your preamplifier to the
KAV-280cd
balanced or single-ended analog outputs on the
back panel. The balancedoutputs use three-pin XLRconnectors;
the single-endedoutputs use RCAconnectors. Maintain the correct left/right orientationof theseoutputs.
or
Connectthe KAV-280cd
digital coaxial output or optics output to
the input of your preamp/processor.
Plug the ACpowercord into the IEC powerconnector on the
back panel, then plug the ACpowercord into the wall socket.
