T+A Elektroakustik K 6 - Manual (Page 7)

7 Operation
Menu control system
A menu control system is used to adjust the tone con-
trols and the surround decoder settings, and also to set
the basic configuration of the K6.
If the TV set connected to the system is switched on, all
the menus are displayed page by page on its screen.
They are also displayed line by line (using English ab-
breviations) on the integral screen of the K6.
The 'Main Menu' contains all the functions required to
operate the K6 in normal daily use. Press the
   
button briefly to open this menu.
When you initially install the K6 all the audio and video
components of your surround system must be set up to
suit each other, and the system then has to be adjusted
to suit the acoustic characteristics of your listening room.
All these processes are carried out using the 'Configura-
tion Menu' which is opened by holding the
    but-
ton pressed in for approx. 2 seconds (see 'Configura-
tion Menu').

This menu point enables you to set the Dolby ProLogic II
decoder to suit varying programme material.

Note
The unit stores the current ProLogic II mode for each
source and sets this mode again, when the source is
selected next time.
Balance left/right and surround/front:
These two menu points enable you to adjust the balance
between the left/right and front/surround loudspeakers.
Balance can be altered in 1 dB increments.

Note
The purpose of this function is to compensate for a tem-
porary problem, e.g. an unusual listening position, or a
poorly produced recording. The basic settings for loud-
speaker balance which apply to your listening situation
should always be carried out in the 'Loudspeaker Bal-
ance Menu'!
