Disc menu, DVD menu
A DVD may contain a disc menu with selection facilities for individual tracks and / or chapters. Depending on the DVD, the disc may also contain games, bonus material or alternative camera viewing angles, additional synchronised languages and
The content, appearance and behaviour of the disc menu are defined and controlled by the disc itself. If you encounter functional problems in conjunction with the disc menu, please contact the manufacturer or supplier of the disc in the first instance.
It is important to draw a distinction between two different menu functions: disc menus and player menus.
∙The disc menu is stored on the DVD itself. With it you can select and control particular disc functions such as language selection,
The content and exact method of operation of these disc menus differ from one DVD to the next. You can generally operate them using the navigation buttons, but in individual cases you should follow the operating information which is provided on the TV screen.
The disc menu is opened with a brief press on the button on the remote control handset.
Field strength
Electrical field strength is the measurement of the level (signal strength) of the signal supplied by the aerial to the receiver. The higher the field strength of the tuned station, the better - in general terms - the reception quality.
The field strength is primarily determined by the following factors:
1.Distance to the transmitter
2.Obstacles (mountains etc.) between transmitter and receiver
3.Transmitter power
4.Quality and orientation of the aerial system
Point 4 is of crucial importance to good reception, as reception results will always be inferior with a
If you wish to plan or optimise your aerial system, your
specialist dealer will be glad to advise you, taking into account the particular reception conditions in your locality.
FM = Frequency Modulation
Transmitters which use the VHF radio system employ a type of modulation known as ‘FM’. This transmission mode offers excellent sound quality combined with good interference rejection.
Format, disc format
Nowadays there very many different optical storage media (discs) available, designed for and containing widely varying content. We can differentiate between music disc formats such as CD and MP3 discs, video formats such as DVD, VCD,
The formats which can be played by the K1 AV are listed in the chapter ‘Specification’.
Loudspeaker configuration
The K1 AV can be operated with various loudspeaker combinations (configurations). The minimal configuration consists of two loudspeakers (main speakers): right and left. An optional Centre loudspeaker and a
The K1 AV is also capable of driving two further loudspeakers in an adjacent room.
Muting = inter-station hiss suppression
The K1 AV’s automatic hiss suppression circuit suppresses the annoying hiss which is picked up between stations and on very weak stations (which are not received at adequate quality) when the tuner is carrying out an automatic station search.
NTSC
American television norm offering 480 picture lines and 60
PAL
European television norm with 625 picture lines and 50
Preset = station memory
The K1 AV can store up to sixty ratio stations together with all the appropriate reception settings; they can then be called up simply by pressing a button.
RDS = Radio Data System
Many radio stations broadcast supplementary digital information along with their programme material, and the K1 AV is fitted with an RDS decoder which picks up this data. When tuned to an RDS station it displays the station name in plain text on its
