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.

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
T M
or DTS
T M
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.
On
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.)
