All HK receivers are
designed for flexibility and sound accuracy
|
| 2. |
The receivers can not
be configured unless audio signal of any type is run through them.
A complete configuration is only possible when a DD, DTS and a stereo
signal could be routed into the receiver
|
| 3. |
The levels set-up is
NOT universal! It is applied
to the specific input or sound field (AC3, DTS, DPL II etc). |
| |
Example:
Configuration ofr DD 6.1 will put the levels at:
| Front
R +2 |
SBR-4 |
| Centre
-1 |
SBR-4 |
| Front
L +3 |
Surround
L-3 |
| Surround
R-1 |
Sub-1 |
|
While the levels for DTS are:
| Front
R +2 |
Sur.Back
R-6 |
| Centre
-1 |
Sur.Back
L-4 |
| Front
L +1 |
Surround
L-5 |
| Surround
R-4 |
Sub+2 |
|
Those two set-ups will apply to the same input! And will alter automatically
when the signal received changes from one to another.
|
|
| 4. |
The
speakers size set-up is NOT universal! It is applied to
the specific input (CD, DVD, Video1 etc.) and/or sound field (AC3,
DTS, DPL II etc.).
For Example: Using floor standing full range speakers as L and
R with a sub for the LFE set the amp for front: Large and the
LFE routed to the speakers (No Sub).
For playing any form of digital surround you can configure the
DD and DTS to route the bass to the sub as per the example below:
| Left/Right |
Large |
| Centre |
Small |
| Surround
Back |
Small |
| Surround |
Small |
| Subwoofer |
(LFE) |
|
Those two set-ups will apply to the same input! And will alter only
when the signal received changes from 5 to 2 channels. |

Speakers
size / x-over set-up. Unique to the HK configuration is the ability
to set-up Independant cross-over points for each set of speakers
that makes up the 6.1/7.1.
Example: when connecting the receivers (4550/5550) to a sub/sat
system you can choose the size of the speakers and in addition
to it you can specify the x-over point that you feel is the most
appropriate.
The improvement in the ability of the speaker to integrate with
the sub has to be heard to be believed.
