Disc player, During playback | T+A Elektroakustik K1 AV manual

The disc player

For all functions described in this chapter the disc player must be selected as the listening source.

The first step is therefore to switch the K1 AV to disc player mode by pressing the button on the front panel, or the button on the remote control handset.

Inserting and playing a disc

Press the button on the front panel to open the drawer.

Place the disc centrally in the appropriate recess in the disc drawer, with the side to be played facing down.

Press the button on the front panel to close the drawer. When the drawer is closed the machine reads the disc. Once read, the disc can be started.

If you see the message ‘UNKNOWN’ on the screen after the disc is read, then the disc in the drawer is a format which the K1 AV is unable to play (see chapter ‘Compatible formats’ at the end of the chapter).

Starting the disc

If the disc in the drawer is a Music CD or a Video CD (VCD, S-VCD) you can start playback after the machine has read the disc by pressing the button on the front panel, or the  button on the remote control handset.

The behaviour of a DVD after it has been read is determined by the DVD itself, and may vary slightly from one disc to another. In most cases an introductory message appears on the screen when the DVD has been read, followed by a menu (DISC MENU).

You can navigate within this menu using the cursor buttons, and select various points such as language, sub-titles and sound format. To activate or select a menu point, use the cursor buttons to move to it, then press the button.

When you have selected all the desired settings, start the film (generally by selecting the menu point ‘Play film’).

During playback

Opening the disc menu

The disc menu can be opened at any time during playback by briefly pressing the blue button. By this means you can call up all the Disc Menu functions even when the disc is playing.

Track select

You can switch to the next or the previous track on the disc using the  button on the front panel or the

/ buttons on the remote control handset.

A track can also be selected directly by entering its track number using the numeric keypad on the remote control handset.

Pause

Pressing the d () button halts playback temporarily. Pressing the  button resumes playback.

Single-frame playback (DVD only)

When you are playing a DVD, repeated pressing of the d button produces single-frame playback. To resume normal playback press the  button, as previously.

Slow motion (DVD only)

The slow motion function is started by holding the d button pressed in until the function starts. Repeated long presses of the d button alter the speed of the slow motion: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 speed.

Press the button to revert to normal playback.

Search

Pressing the  /  buttons starts a search in the reverse or forward directions.

Pressing these buttons repeatedly varies the search rate. The search is concluded by pressing the button.

If the CD being played contains text information (CD-Text), this is displayed on the television screen connected to the K1 AV.CD-Text
