Wiring

Notes on connecting the system

•You will find wiring diagrams on the following pages.

•Be sure to connect all your equipment exactly as shown in these diagrams.

•Push all connectors firmly into their sockets. Loose connections can cause hum and other unwanted noises.

•Carry out the required settings for the picture and sound inputs at the surround amplifier or receiver.

•Deploy mains and loudspeaker cables and the RLINK cables as far from sound and aerial cables as possible.

•Please use the mains lead supplied to connect the machine to a suitable mains power socket, earthed in the regulation manner.

•To achieve the maximum signal : noise ratio the mains plug should be fitted in the mains socket in such a way that the phase is connected to the socket contact which is marked with a dot (•). The phase of the mains socket can be checked with a suitable device. If you are not sure of this, please ask your specialist dealer.

We recommend the use of the ready-made  ‘POWER LINE’ mains cable in conjunction with the ‘POWER BAR’ mains distribution panel; this panel features a phase indicator as standard.

Once you have completed the wiring of the system, set the volume control to a very low level and switch the system on.

The screen of the K1 AV should now light up, and it should be possible to operate the machine.

Place an audio CD in the drawer and press the b button to start playback.

Loudspeaker cables, signal leads

The loudspeaker cables and signal leads (inter-connects) you use to wire your system have an influence on the reproduction quality of the overall system which should not be under-estimated.  for this reason recommends the use of high-quality cables and connectors.

Our accessory range includes a selection of cables and connectors of excellent quality, whose characteristics are carefully matched to our loudspeakers and electronic components, and harmonise superbly with them.

For difficult or cramped situations the  accessory range also includes special-length cables fitted with non- standard connectors (e.g. right-angled types), which can be used to solve almost any setup and connection problem.

Mains cables, mains filters

The mains power supply carries the energy required by your equipment, but at the same time it also bears interference from remote equipment, including radios and computer systems.

Our accessory range includes the specially shielded ‘POWER FOUR’ mains cable, the ‘POWER LINE’ ready- made mains cable with ferrite ring filters, and the ‘POWER LINE’ filtered mains distribution panel; all of them designed to keep electro-magnetic interference away from your system. With these accessories it is often possible to improve the reproduction quality of our equipment.

If you have any questions relating to cables, please ask your local  specialist dealer, where you will find competent, comprehensive and unbiased advice. We would also be glad to send you detailed information on this subject.

Care of the unit:

Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before cleaning it.

The surfaces of the case should simply be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Before switching the unit on again check carefully that there are no short-circuits at the terminals, and that you have not disturbed any connections.

eThe only permissible method of disposing of this product is to take it to your local collection centre for electrical waste.
