User manual VINCENT SV-122

[. . . ] Dear Customer, we thank you for the confidence you prove in purchasing our product. It will match your high demands towards sound and manufacturing quality. Though it is understandable that you want to plug and play this product instantaneously, we encourage you to read this manual carefully before installation. It will help you in handling and operating this machine in your system and obtaining the best possible performance, even if it was installed by your dealer. [. . . ] When using a passive subwoofer, connect it to the associated speaker screw (banana) connectors , , SW" (22) instead. It delivers the unchanged, fixed stereo level (line level) of the source device that is connected to the SV-122 and currently selected. Connect this signal output of the preamplifier using RCA cables to the signal input (, , RECORD" or , , INPUT") of the recording device. It is possible to connect other devices that accept the line level signal of the source that is selected at the receiver (for example integrated amplifiers). AV recordings can be made if the receiver's video output is connected to the video input of the recording device instead of a displaying device. These stereo RCA connectors (19) are only needed, if you want to add one or more main amplifiers for additional speakers. This could be of use if you want to listen to stereo music with higher-quality speakers and use a compact cinema surround speaker set for movies. All display devices that accept one of those signal and connection types can be used with this receiver. If the displaying device has additional video inputs, they can be used to accept the video signals of source devices that have audio connection with the SV-122 receiver. 3 mm plug can be plugged into the "PHONES" jack (11) (stereo, analog) at the front panel. Before the headphone connector is inserted or removed, the volume level should be reduced. To establish the power supply push the plug of the power cable into the AC socket on the back panel and connect the plug on the other side of the cable to a 220 V - 240 V AC 50 Hz wall outlet. Make sure that a current of 10 A can be provided Home cinema systems are designed for a variety of combinations with other consumer electronics and many different environments. That is why it is necessary to configure the system before first use and everytime the speaker system is changed. Usually, a quick setup procedure must be absolved, where audio/video settings have to be made. This setup has been reduced to the minimum required steps at this receiver, to kepp it user friendly. So only the speaker configuration and the required volume differences and delay times have to be defined. It is best to follow the sequence displayed in the following table: Level difference of center, surround and subwoofer signals in relation to front channel volume level The speaker channel test sound (, , TEST" (47)) can make volume level differences experienced at the listening position recognizable Delay times of the center and surround signals in relation to front channel signal These settings influence the distribution of the source signals to the different speaker channels. Since every surround sound system needs , , bass management" to bring bass frequencies from specific or all channels to those speakers that are best adapted for the reproduction of those, it is necessary to give the receiver information about the kind of speakers used. As , , SMALL" speakers all speaker models without nameable bass (frequencies below 80 Hz) playback ability are declared, irrespective their size. , , LARGE" speakers are all used speakers that have the ability to playback low bass frequencies. if , for example , no rear surround speakers have been installed , the required setting is , , NONE". [. . . ] Low frequency humming noise audible Plugs and sockets are built from a middle pin conductor and a concentric metal cylinder mantle as the outer conductor. Compared to XLR, this type is being called "unsymmetrical signal connection" ("unbalanced"). Input sensitivity Term used for the smallest input voltage that makes the amplifier generate the maximum output power at maximum volume setting. examples: 100 to 500 mV (Millivolts) at high level inputs , 2 to 5 mV at Phono-MM-Inputs or 0 , 1 to 0 , 5 mV at Phono-MCInputs.
