Mains input
The mains lead is plugged into this socket.
For correct mains connection please read the notes in the chapters
‘Using the
system for the first time, Wiring’
and
‘Safety Notes’
.
,
and
(LS terminals)
The primary pair of loudspeakers is connected to the
A
loudspeaker
output.
The impedance of each speaker must be at least 4
Ω
.
It is important to enter the size of your loudspeakers correctly in the
‘
Loudspeaker settings
’
menu (chapter
‘
System settings, Loudspeakers
’
).
If you are using mini-loudspeakers (known as Satellite speakers) as your main
loudspeakers, it is really essential to include a sub-woofer in the system.
A Centre loudspeaker is optional.
If you connect a Centre speaker, the
K2 Blu
automatically detects its presence.
Enter the appropriate settings for Centre mode in the
‘Loudspeaker settings’
menu (chapter ‘System settings, Loudspeakers’).
If the Centre loudspeaker is not detected automatically, please read the notes
in the chapter entitled ‘Trouble-shooting, Sound’.
The speakers set up in the neighbouring room or the second listening zone
should be connected to the
B
loudspeaker output (Remote Speaker). Please
note that the impedance of each speaker should be no lower than 4
Ω
.
If Loudspeakers B are not detected automatically, please read the notes in the
chapter entitled
‘Trouble-shooting, Sound’
.
Caution!
It is important to tighten the screw-terminals firmly, and to eliminate stray strands
of wire which could cause short-circuits.
If you are using the system outside the countries of the EU, you can remove
the red / black stoppers from the loudspeaker terminals. The speakers can then
be connected using banana plugs.
The stoppers are only a push-fit, and can easily be levered out of the rear of
the terminals using a suitable tool, such as a knife blade.
The
accessory range includes a range of high-quality cables which are an
exact match to
equipment.
SUBW OUT
Output socket for an active sub-woofer.
The sub-woofer is optional.
If your system includes a sub-woofer, it must be switched on in the loudspeaker
menu (see chapter
‘System settings, Loudspeaker’
).
If
no
sub-woofer is present, it is important to disable the sub-woofer in the
loudspeaker menu (see chapter
‘System settings, Loudspeaker’
). The correct
setting is
‘Ext. sub-woofer off
’.
If the sub-woofer is not disabled in the ‘
Loudspeaker settings
’ (chapter entitled
‘System settings’), the low-frequency range will be missing from the sound since
no sub-woofer is present to reproduce it.
