The iPod as video source
The fundamental rule is that the
K2 Blu
can reproduce the video content stored
on some iPod models on a screen connected to the system, as well as music.
The method of operating the iPod when playing video material varies slightly
from model to model, and it is possible that not all video functions will be
supported.
If you cannot access all the video functions of your iPod using the remote
control handset, or if you only have remote control of the audio functions, then
we recommend that you use the iPod's controls to operate the system.
The iPod must generate the video content in the form of a standard video
signal (CVBS). You may need to change the video output at the iPod.
If you are using the HDMI output for BD / DVD playback, you will also need to
connect a standard video lead between the K2 Blu’s VIDEO OUT / CVBS
output and the video monitor in order to play iPod video files.
For playing iPod video material select the AV input on your video monitor to
which this video lead is connected.
Use with an iPhone
The
K2 Blu
can also be used with an iPhone as source device.
Many models generate a warning regarding telephone use, but this is not
relevant to the
K2 Blu
, and can be ignored.
Special features when
operating an iPhone
The first step is to select the iPhone as source with a long press on the
button (
); the iPhone must then be unlocked. For safety reasons this
cannot be carried out using the remote control handset - please use the slider
on the iPhone screen.
The iPod function of the iPhone can be activated by pressing the right-hand
cursor button
. This causes the main menu of the iPod module to be
displayed on the iPhone’s integral screen.
In the main menu of the iPod module the playback category (Lists, Interpret,
Track, Video, etc.) can be selected using the left-hand cursor button
.
Within the lists you can navigate up and down using the
and
buttons.
Press the
button to make a selection; pressing the
button takes
you back one menu level.
iPod playback with the
Streaming Client
In addition to the option of connecting an iPod to the 'iPod' connector, it is
possible to connect it to the 'USB Audio' socket of the source 'Streaming
Client'. This configuration there-fore only permits pure audio playback. The
iPod has not longer its own source; instead it features in the list of available
streaming client media and devices. In this mode navigation and operation of
the iPod are carried out exclusively via the K2 Blu’s ‘Streaming Client’ source.
The iPod is operated in the same way as described in the operating instructions
for the streaming client.
Please note that the
K2 Blu
supports only one connected iPod. Connecting two
devices may cause fail functions.
