K2 Blu
The
K2 Blu
features a range of facilities designed to enable you to adjust the
sound to suit your personal preferences, the physical arrangement of your
system components, and the acoustics of your listening room. All these
settings are adjusted in the tone control menu (TONE menu). The tone control
menu can be called up using either the
button on the remote control
handset, or via the Tone menu point (tone settings) within the
menu.

Tone settings
The
K2 Blu
features automatic loudspeaker detection, which it invokes every time
it is switched on to indicate which loudspeakers are connected to it.
Some points in the Tone menu only appear if the associated loudspeakers are
actually connected to the system, and are switched on in the System menu. If the
relevant loudspeakers are not present in the system, then the set-up points
relating to them are not displayed. This restricts the task of operating the system
to the facilities actually present, and considerably simplifies the procedure.
If some menu points do not appear, even though the associated loudspeakers
are correctly connected, please refer to the notes in the chapter entitled
‘Trouble-shooting’.

Loudness
off / on
The

features a volume-dependent tone
correction
system
(
LOUDNESS

compensates for the frequency-dependent
variation in the sensitivity of the ear at very low
volume levels due to the physiology of the
human auditory system.
This set-up option is used to switch loudness on
or off.
