Front panel controls

Disc drawer

The drawer of the K1 AV is made of a material with very high acoustic damping characteristics. Its flexible, floating support system eliminates the transmission of mechanical vibration to the disc, which would otherwise have an adverse effect on sound quality.

You will find information on inserting the disc and compatible disc formats in the chapter ‘The disc player / Compatible formats’.

HEADPHONES

Barrel socket (3.5 mm ∅) for stereo headphones with an impedance of at least 30 Ω.

When listening via headphones the surround mode STEREO should always be selected,

otherwise the centre channel information will be lost (see chapter 'The amplifier / Basic functions, surround modes').

ON

The machine’s On / Off button.

When you switch the K1 AV on, the screen displays the selected listening source of a machine-specific message. When switched on, the machine always reverts to the setting in which it was last auditioned. The volume is limited to ‘room volume” when switched on.

Caution:

The On / Off button on the front panel is not a mains isolation switch, and a few of the

machine’s sub-assemblies remain connected to the mains supply when it is switched off. If you know that the system will not be used for a protracted period, we recommend that you isolate it from the mains power supply by disconnecting the mains plug from the wall socket.
