K2 Blu
(green)
The mode of operation for loudspeaker group A can be selected using this
button. The available modes are
STEREO
and
VIRTUAL SURROUND.
If your
system includes a Centre loudspeaker, the three-channel modes
3-channel
MUSIC and 3-channel MOVIE
are also available.
The first press on the
button displays the mode of operation just
selected on the integral screen. Further button-presses cycle through the
available modes of operation.
Stereo
Reproduction only through the two primary loudspeakers (left / right) of
loudspeaker group A.
Virtual surround
Virtual Surround reproduction via the loudspeakers of group A. In this mode of
operation it is possible to achieve surround effects even without the presence
of physical rear loudspeakers.
3-channel MUSIC
(can only be selected if a Centre
loudspeaker is present)
This setting is for music reproduction through all three loudspeakers of group A
(left / right / centre).
3-channel MOVIE
(can only be selected if a Centre
loudspeaker is present)
Three-channel sound reproduction (left / right / centre), ideal for use with
cinema films.
The
K2 Blu
features a digital room sound (sound field) processor, which can be
used with two or three loudspeakers in the primary listening room. With three
speakers (left / centre / right) it is possible to achieve more natural and
spacious reproduction overall, without the familiar “acoustic hole” in the middle.
For film playback an additional advantage is an improvement in localisation of
speech and sound events on the screen.
If the
K2 Blu
is operated with just two loudspeakers (left / right), then only the
operating modes STEREO and Virtual Surround are available.
