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 surrou nd
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.
Auto-Off function
(disc mode only)
The K1 AV features an automatic power-off
function in disc mode. If the player goes into
‘STOP’ mode at the end of playing a disc, and if no
controls are operated in the next twenty minutes,
the K1 AV automatically switches itself off.
Source select
Pressing this button selects the listening source you wish to
use. Press the button repeatedly until the screen displays
the source to which you wish to listen.
The signal from the selected source can now be played
via the loudspeaker groups A and B. The same signal is
also present at the TAPE-OUT output sockets for
recording.
Monitor
Pressing this button toggles between the currently
selected listening source and the tape monitor signal of a
recording device connected to the K1 AV. Press it a
second time to return to the original signal.
When the tape monitor signal is being played, the
symbol glows on the screen.
For more information on the MONITOR function
please refer to the chapter ‘The Amplifier / Basic
functions, Monitor’.
(Stop) / (Open)
Pressing this button ends disc playback (STOP).
When the disc has stopped playing, pressing this button
opens and closes the disc drawer (OPEN).
If you wish to open the drawer while the disc is
playing, hold the button pressed in until the
screen displays the message ‘OPEN’. The
drawer now opens as soon as the disc has
stopped spinning.
