Loudspeaker configuration
menu
(Loudspeaker menu)
The Loudspeaker menu is used to allocate the output signals to the loud-
speakers present in your system in the optimum manner. At the same time the
speakers can also be adjusted accurately to match the acoustic and spatial
characteristics of your listening room.

The
K8
features automatic loudspeaker detection, which enables it to detect
which loudspeakers are connected every time it is switched on.
Certain points in the Tone menu only appear if the associated loudspeakers are
actually connected to the system and switched on. If the speakers concerned
are not present, then the set-up points affecting them are not displayed. This
greatly simplifies the procedure by restricting the facilities to the speakers which
are actually present.

If some menu points are not displayed, even though the associated loud-
speakers are correctly connected, please refer to the notes in the Chapter en-
titled ‘Trouble shooting’.
Loudspeaker
sub-menu
Activating this menu point takes you to a menu where you can define the size of
the loudspeakers and the mode of operation of the sub-woofer. You can also
set the cross-over frequency for satellite / sub-woofer systems at this point.
This sub-menu is also used to select whether the surround channels of 5.1
input signals are to be reproduced only by the surround speakers, or the rear
speakers, or both.
In the 'Loudspeaker menu' the first procedure is to allocate the output signals
correctly to the various loudspeakers present in the system.
To ensure that no sound information is lost if your system does not encompass
all the possible loudspeakers (Centre, Rear and sub-woofer), it is essential to
mark the missing components as “None” in the ‘Loudspeaker menu’. The
corresponding sound signal is then mixed down onto the channels which are
actually present (Downmix).
Front LS:
At this point you can define the size and bass response of the primary loud-
speakers situated at front left and right. The following options are available:
2 small
for small speakers whose bass response by their nature is not
optimum. The low-frequency bass signals (below the set
cross-over frequency) of the main channels are mixed onto
the sub-woofer, if it is present in the system.
2 large
for larger speakers. The whole frequency range is reproduced
via the main channels without restriction.
