Alarm Timer
The K1 AV features an integral timer module (Timer),
which can be used to switch on the Tuner source at a
programmable time (Radio alarm clock)..
Programming the Timer
To program the Timer first select the TUNER as listening
source. You now have to set up the K1 AV in the way in
which you wish it to wake you (radio station, alarm
volume, loudspeakers A or B). When the Timer is
programmed, the K1 AV will use the current settings for
its alarm.
To set the alarm time press the button on the
front panel. The screen now displays the current set
alarm time, e.g. 14-38 TIM’; the word ‘TIM (TIMER)
flashes.
Now you can set the alarm time using the VOLUME +/-
buttons on the front panel. Holding the buttons pressed in
increases the rate of change.
When the desired time is shown on the screen, hold the
button pressed in for about one second. The screen
briefly shows the alarm time and ‘SET’ (instead of ‘TIM’),
e.g. ‘14-38 SET’. The alarm timer is now switched on and
active. The symbol glows constantly on the screen to
indicate that the alarm timer is active.
You can now switch the K1 AV off. As long as the
symbol is lit on the screen, the K1 AV will switch itself on
at the set time.
ALARM - with automatic power-off
If the Timer is active, the K1 AV will be switched on at
the programmed alarm time. The glowing symbol will
flash when it is switched on.
The K1 AV switches itself off automatically one hour after
the alarm has been triggered, unless the user has operated
the unit in the meantime.
If the user operates the machine during this period (e.g.
volume change or preset change), the glowing symbol
ceases flashing. The timer now no longer switches itself
off automatically after an hour. If you wish to switch the
unit off, you must switch it off manually.
Switching the Timer off
If the Timer is active, it can be disabled by pressing the
button. The screen then briefly displays the
message ‘ALARM OFF’.
In Stand-by mode the alarm time can be
temporarily displayed on the screen with a brief
press on the button (now not lit).
A long press (about one second) disables the
Timer even in Stand-by mode; the screen briefly
displays the message ‘ALARM OFF’.
In just the same way the Timer can also be
switched on again in Stand-by mode. A long
press (about one second) activates the Timer
with the last-used settings, and the alarm time is
displayed on the screen for about one second.
Special Tuner functions
Seldom needed special functions for the Tuner module
are grouped together in a Setup menu (TUNER menu).
These include the storing and erasure of presets.
The TUNER menu is divided into the following sub-
menus:
Reception modes (RCVM)
Manual storing a preset
Erasing a preset
Automatic storing (Autostore)
Operating the Tuner menu
If you wish to alter the settings in the TUNER menu, you
must first select TUNER as the listening source.
The TUNER menu is opened by briefly pressing the blue
button on the remote control handset.
When the menu is open, the first menu point ‘RCVM….
appears on the K1 AV’s integral screen.
Press the button to move to the next menu point.
Details of the adjustment facilities of the TUNER menu
are explained in the following sections.
If you do not make any change in the TUNER
menu for a period longer than about ten
seconds, the TUNER menu automatically closes
(Timeout).
