Using Logitech A745 powered computer speakers with a K3

[Steve Ireland]

G’day

 

I want to use a pair of Logitech powered computer speakers with a K3 that I am just setting up.  I am guessing that the speakers can be connected to the LINE OUT jack (?).

 

I am also curious of what sort of level I should set CONFIG: LIN OUT to – and how I can reconfigure LIN OUT from having the main receiver on the left hand channel and the sub-receiver in the right hand channel to having the left channel and the right channel both to the main receiver (i.e. so I can use AFX/binaural from the main receiver on the computer speakers).

I don't believe you can do this with LINE OUT - that is really for data modes.

You can do it using the Speakers output though, then the AF control will work too.

Ensure you have set CONFIG:SPKRS = 2

Anyone else think I've missed anything?

just plug it to external Speaker, enable 2 Speakers in the setup Menu
..... but do not use an linear-hf-amplifier - the af-amp in the active speakers is not hf protected

Where is that option - I'm not aware of that and f/w 2.45 doesn't seem  
to have that option?

2.46 does have it. When looking at CONFIG:LIN OUT, tap the '1' button.
It's document in the owner's manual too - page 55.

I'm sorry, so it does - I looked at the actual config item and so  
didn't see you could press 1.
Thanks, learn something new every day :-)
