It also accepts a cable radio connection.
RC-IN • The K1 must not be connected to any other type of power supply. Input socket for an E 2000 remote control receiver, available as an optional accessory to suit multi-room operation. • Mains leads must be deployed in such a way that there is no danger of damage to them (e.g. through persons treading on them or from furniture). • If the machine is not to be used for a long period, disconnect it from the mains supply at the wall socket. MAINS INPUT The mains cable is plugged into this socket.
CONNECTING THE SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM IN USE There must be at least 5 cm free space on both sides of the system, and at least 15 cm free space above and behind it, so that the heat produced by the machine can disperse freely in the ambient air. If the unit is set up on a shelf or in a cupboard compartment, it must not be enclosed by doors. Any heat build-up may shorten the unit's effective life, and could be a source of danger. Unpack your K1 carefully and keep the original packing in a safe place.
The remote control receiver is located within the screen on the front panel. The sketch below shows the operating radius of the remote control system F12. For this reason it is important to set up the system in a position where there is direct line-of-sight contact between the remote control transmitter and the screen. Maximum range between transmitter and receiver is approximately 6 metres. Check that the receiver is not subjected to direct sunlight and strong artificial lighting.
Multi-room sound system (MULTIROOM) If you decide to use the K1 as the basis of a sound system serving more than one room, we recommend the following configuration (see appropriate wiring diagram): Note: The cable from the separate remote control receiver can be extended up to a total length of 50 metres. • The system is located in the main listening room (Room A). The speakers connected to the loudspeaker output A are in the same room.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING Many problems have a simple cause and a correspondingly simple solution. The following section describes a few difficulties you may encounter, and the measures you need to take to cure them. Cause2: No visual contact between system and remote control transmitter. Remedy: Ensure direct line-of-sight contact to the remote control transmitter.
F12 - Changing the RC address: Press the buttons and from the numeric pad for about 10 seconds. The LED will flash. Number button sets the remote control handset to the normal remote control level; number button sets the alternative level. The LED will go out to confirm that the switch has taken place.
Tuner section Problem: The auditioning source responds to control commands, but the system produces no output signal. Loudspeaker outputs switched Cause: off; 'A' or 'B' not glowing on the screen. Remedy: Press the appropriate button or on the RC handset to switch on the speakers. Problem: Cause1: Remedy: Problem: Loud hum from the speakers when playing back through TAPE or AUX/TV. Poor contact of a Cinch plug or a Cause: faulty Cinch lead. Remedy: Please check all connections and cables.
Problem: The tuner works normally, but only picks up a very small number of stations or none at all. The aerial system or the aerial Cause: cable itself is defective. Remedy1: Check the aerial lead for good contact at the aerial wall socket and at the tuner. Remedy2: Check the aerial cable for damage and sharp bends (kinks). If necessary, replace it with a new cable. Problem: After a house-move the screen continues to show a few of the old station names - but those stations cannot be picked up.
CD - player Problem: Cause1: Remedy: The CD is not correctly recognised, or the screen displays the message "No Disc". The CD is not correctly inserted. Place the CD centrally in the drawer, printed face up. Cause2: Remedy: The CD is dirty. Clean the CD and try again. Cause3: The CD is damaged in the area of the Table of Contents (TOC). No remedy; the CD is unusable.
