Audio-Setup Menu

ANALOGUE OUTPUT

With this option you can determine the sound output
format of the K1 AV when a disc is being played.
Stereo
If you select this option, Dolby Digital and dts multi-
channel sound tracks are converted into STEREO
signals (Downmix), so that they can be reproduced
through two loudspeakers. Select this setting if you do
not have a Centre loudspeaker connected to your K1 AV.
L/R (LT/RT)
If you select this option, multi-channel information from
Dolby and dts sound tracks is processed for three-
channel reproduction using a Centre loudspeaker.
Select this setting if a Centre loudspeaker is connected to
your K1 AV.
V Surr (Virtual Surround)
If you select this option, the signal from 5.1 sources is
processed to generate a ‘virtual’ surround signal which
provides an artificial impression of spatial sound in your
living room.
This setting can be used both with two-channel
reproduction (STEREO) and with reproduction using
three loudspeaker channels (3CH MOVIE).
Note
The setup facilities L/R (LT/RT) and V Surr
(Virtual Surround) are only available if the 'OFF'
setting is selected for CD upsampling (see next
column).

CD UPSAMPLING

In this menu point you can adjust the sampling rate which
is used when CD signals are upsampled before being
converted into analogue signals.
We recommend the ‘88.2 kHz’ setting.
If you wish to use multi-channel (Lt / Rt) or
Virtual Surround, the CD upsampling rate must
be set to 'OFF'.
If you do not wish to use these modes of
operation, you can also select 88.2 or 176.4 kHz
at this point; we recommend the ‘88.2 kHz’
setting.

NIGHT MODE

When night mode is switched on, sound is reproduced
with a reduced dynamic range.
The result is that loud passages are reproduced more
quietly. The ‘night mode’ is particularly useful when you
wish to avoid disturbing neighbours or othe r people in
your house with loud sound special effects in films.
