T+A Elektroakustik K1 AV Stereo Receiver User Manual


 
RGB Video
A video signal which uses separate cable conductors to
transfer the basic colours: red, green and blue. Like YUV
Video, RGB delivers the highest-quality video
reproduction. RGB is primarily used by European
televisions. The picture output of the K1 AV can be set to
RGB.
If your TV set supports RGB reproduction, you should
always select this method of connection. RGB mode
simply delivers the best possible picture quality.
R LINK
All the components of a system which are fitted with
an R LINK control socket are able to communicate via
this universal control interface.
SCART
A widespread normalised connection using a standard
21-pin connector. SCART connections are capable of
transferring all picture norms plus supplementary control
signals (e.g. for switching between 3:4 and 16:9 picture
formats). If you wish to connect a SCART connector to a
different standard connector type (e.g. Cinch or Hosiden),
you can use adaptors which are widely available from
electrical accessory suppliers.
Search threshold
The station search threshold is the minimal field strength
value at which the automatic station search stops. It is
set in such a way that very weak stations are skipped.
Source device, listening source
The source devices are those machines in a Hi-Fi system
which supply a sound signal: tuner, DVD player, cassette
recorder, etc.
The listening source is the machine to which you are
currently listening.
The K1 AV can be switched to three external listening
sources - TV, TAPE and AUX - in addition to the integral
listening sources TUNER and DISC.
Stand-by mode
The K1 AV can be switched on from the ‘Ready’ state
from the remote control handset.
Sub-woofer
A special loudspeaker for low sounds. An active sub-
woofer (sub-woofer with integral amplifier) can be
connected to the K1 AV. A sub-woofer is particularly
recommended if your main loudspeakers are small in
size.
Tape monitor (MONITOR)
This means listening to the signal recorded on a cassette
or other tape during the actual recording process. To be
able to exploit the K1 AV’s monitor function the
connected recorder must feature a tape monitor function.
Update
The machine’s central processor and signal processor
run programs which can be updated at any time, making
it possible to expand the machine’s functions and
facilities, and make it capable of meeting new
requirements.
Virtual Surround
This is a sound reproduction system which provides an
artificial impression of spatial surround sound with only
two or three front loudspeakers. With this system the
virtual room sound is generated primarily in the area
exactly between the main loudspeakers. Please note that
the impression of virtual space may be restricted if the
listening position is unfavourable, or if the listening room
is acoustically difficult.
YUV (Component Video)
A video signal in which the picture brightness (Y) and two
colour difference signals (U, V) are passed along
separate cable conductors. Like RGB Video, YUV
supplies the best possible picture reproduction. YUV is
primarily used with projectors, but also by a few flat-
screen televisions and American TV sets. The picture
output of the K1 AV can be set to YUV output.
If your display supports YUV reproduction, select this
method of connection on the TV set.
