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.

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 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 other people in your house with loud sound special effects in films.
