Surround Sound

Normally, the default of “All purpose” is suitable for all users, but one may

choose another setting for surround sound as follows:

Off (Stereo)

Choose this setting to turn surround sound off. Stereo mode must be selected if

you are using the ‘Record/multi room output’ on the rear of the subwoofer to

record or drive a separate pair

of speakers.

Matrix

Use this setting to hear some degree of surround sound from monophonic

recordings and movies.

Movie

Use this setting to experience Dolby Pro Logic II Movie decoded audio which

produces different surround effects for films and video games. Leave MOVIE

switched off if you are listening to MUSIC.

All purpose

As the name suggests, this setting will optimise your system depending on what

program material is present with the exception of monophonic recordings. If the

source contains Dolby Digital

or DTS

signals then these will always play by

default. Other sources will be played in a configuration of Prologic II chosen by

KEF Audio for optimum reproduction of an analogue source material.

Dynamic Range Control

Dynamic Range Control will compress the sound for better listening at night when

you do not wish to disturb others in the house.

Off

The KEF Instant Theatre’s default is to have DRC turned off. This will not apply

any compression to Dolby Digital audio content.

This will increase the volume of quiet sounds such as speech at the same time as

decreasing the volume of loud special effects such as explosions.

Auto

This will automatically phase in DRC at volume levels below 25 on your KEF

Instant Theatre.

Calibration Menu

The standard settings will already be correct for a normal room. The calibration menu

allows you to test that the speakers are all connected and allows you to adjust

individual speaker levels if required for your individual room. Note: The calibration

option will only appear if you are in ‘disc mode’ when you

press SETTINGS.

Sitting in a central seat of the listening/viewing area, go to disc mode, highlight and

SELECT “Calibration” to start the acoustic calibration process. Noise will emanate

from one channel, then the next, and the next, right around the listening/viewing area.

Use the up/down navigation arrow keys to adjust the volume of any channel that

doesn’t appear to match the others. When all channels sound equally loud, press STOP

or EXIT on the remote to exit the menu. It is recommended that a Sound Pressure Level

meter is used to measure the sound levels accurately. (Although it is possible to adjust

the subwoofer level during this process,

KEF recommends only confirming that the subwoofer is working, but not attempting to

match its level to that of the other speakers. It is best to make fine adjustments to the

subwoofer level using the remote control keys during normal listening.)

TV Standard

Television programs are broadcast, and videos or DVDs are published, in different

formats in different countries. Choose the format that best matches the local

video/broadcast environment.

NTSC

Choose this if all programming is per the NTSC standard. (Default for KEF Instant

Theatre systems sold in the USA.)

PAL

Choose this if all programming is per the PAL standard. (This is the broadcast

standard across much of Europe and is the default for KEF Instant Theatre

systems sold in the UK and Europe.)

Auto

Choose this if using a multi-standard TV and for programming that is a mixture of

NTSC and PAL,

as in countries where DVDs might not all be published in the same format.

DVD Output

DVD Output determines which video output, in addition to Composite (RCA), will

carry video signals from the KEF Instant Theatre to your TV. (You will see a

prompt message when selecting a new DVD output, highlight and SELECT “YES” to

confirm any changes to this setting. This is to prevent you setting an output video

format which is not displayable on your TV). It should be noted that a SCART lead

is provided in Europe because many TVs have this connection and it gives better

video quality.

If using a SCART lead then the setting of DVD Output is not necessary.

Composite/S

Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to only the

Composite (RCA) input or the S-Video input of the TV.

Component

Choose this setting if the KEF Instant Theatre will be connected to the Component

(RGB) input of the TV. In this case, connect the Composite input as well, so that

you can view non-DVD sources and to allow you to set the component and

progressive options whilst the default DVD output is composite and S-video only.

When watching a DVD, switch the input of the TV to “Component” or “RGB.” (The

KEF Instant Theatre’s Component and S-video outputs cannot both be active at the

same time.) Component gives the best video quality for plasma, projector, or

other component compatible televisions or monitors.

Progressive

Select “On” if using the Component output for DVD programs with a TV that

supports

‘progressive scan’. Otherwise, select “off”. Progressive scan gives improved

picture quality on a compatible monitor or television but must be used in

conjunction with component DVD Output.

It will output PAL or NTSC progressive output as defined by the source material.

Audio Menu

The Audio menu allows for calibration of the KEF Instant Theatre for use in

unusually shaped or furnished rooms, and for turning off the surround sound, if

this should be desired. To adjust bass/treble use the dedicated buttons on the

remote control.
