Notes on Energy Saving
The
K8
fulfils the requirements of the latest directives designed to economise
on the use of energy (EuP directive). The modern construction of its mains PSU
and the highly efficient design of the T+A switch-mode output stage play an im-
portant role in this.
The internal micro-processor constantly ensures that sub-assemblies which are
not required for the current task are switched off automatically.
In stand-by mode the current drain depends on the functions of the
K8
which
are still active. Please refer to the table below for more details.

In accordance with EU regulations designed to limit stand-by consumption, the
default factory setting for the K8 is the ECO stand-by mode.
If you wish to use the additional functions of the Comfort stand-by mode (On),
you must switch it on in the menu System Configuration / Stand.by-mode.
Switching off unused
output stages
Audio output stages consume energy even when no loudspeaker is connected
to them and no signal is present. The K8 offers the facility to save energy by
switching off output stages not currently required. This is accomplished by
calling up the menu System configuration / Source names and switching
“Disable” all output stages which are not needed for loudspeakers in the main
room or adjacent rooms.
This measure also reduces the heat developed by the K8.
