Operation

Menu control system

A  menu  control  system  is  used  to  adjust  the  tone  con-
trols  and  the  surround  decoder  settings,  and  also  to  set
the basic configuration of the 

K6

.

If the TV set connected to the system is switched on, all
the  menus  are  displayed  page  by  page  on  its  screen.
They  are  also  displayed  line  by  line  (using  English  ab-
breviations) on the integral screen of the 

K6

.

The 

'

Main  Menu

'

  contains  all  the  functions  required  to

operate  the 

K6

  in  normal  daily  use.  Press  the 

button briefly to open this menu.

When  you  initially  install  the 

K6

  all  the  audio  and  video

components  of  your  surround  system  must  be  set  up  to
suit each other, and the system then has to be adjusted
to suit the acoustic characteristics of your listening room.
All these processes are carried out using the '

Configura-

tion  Menu'

  which  is  opened  by  holding  the 

  but-

ton  pressed  in  for  approx.  2  seconds  (see  '

Configura-

tion Menu'

).

The purpose of this function is to compensate for a tem-
porary  problem,  e.g.  an  unusual  listening  position,  or  a
poorly  produced  recording.  The  basic  settings  for  loud-
speaker  balance  which  apply  to  your  listening  situation
should  always  be  carried  out  in  the
