User manual VINCENT SV-236MK

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] ) or another appliance that is intended for receiving the unchanged, fixed stereo output level (line level) from the signal source selected on the amplifier at any given time. Connect this signal output to the signal input ("LINE IN", "TAPE IN" or "REC IN") on the recording appliance using RCA cables. Please note that some recording equipment can have a slightly detrimental effect on the audio signal quality. Some recording devices have rather low input impedance, which can slightly alter the input signal voltage. For maximal music enjoyment we recommend that you connect to the "REC" terminal only for as long as the recording is actually being made. You only need the "PRE OUT" sockets (12) if you want to use a separate stereo amplifier or two mono amplifiers to supply two additional loudspeakers. This makes sense if you intend to use two more loudspeakers for stereo music playback, for example in a separate zone (another room of your home). These loudspeakers are then connected to the speaker outputs of the additional amplifier(s). The amplifier output connections "PRE OUT" (12) must be connected with the input connectors of the main amplifier, in most cases labelled "INPUT", "POWER AMP IN" or "MAIN INPUT". Instead of the stereo main amplifier shown here you can alternatively use two mono main amplifiers. To avoid the necessity of switching them on and off before and after every use, many manufacturers have equipped their devices with what is known as "POWER CONTROL" circuit or "TRIGGER". This kind of remote-controlled standby circuit is used primarily for preamplifier and power amplifiers. Particularly for preamplifiers and main amplifiers this kind of remote standby control is utilized, as power amplifiers are often placed far from other devices near the speakers. To employ these functions, direct or indirect cable connections must be made between the preamplifier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices which support this function. The "POWER CONTROL" function operates in such a way that each switching on or off of one device in the system (usually the preamplifier) automatically brings about the switching on or off of all the connected devices which support this function. Please keep in mind that all devices which respond to the power control are not disconnected from the mains network when switched off. For each connection between two devices one of those cables is needed. If you don't wish to use this function or if the other components do not support it, all you have to do is leave out these cable connections. The SV-236MK is equipped with two output connectors for the power control. Here, the switching signal generated by the amplifier is available for other components of the system. Two HiFi components that are able to react to the power control signal can be connected directly to the amplifier's power control outputs (15). If more than two devices, which can be controlled, are to be connected, then it is necessary to make the power control connection between the amplifier and these further devices through the outputs of the two devices which are connected directly. [. . . ] No sound on both channels although the unit is ready for use (one of the LEDs for the input selection (7) is lit). One of the audio settings of a connected DVD player (analogue/digital) has not been correctly selected. The speaker cables are not properly connected to the amplifier's terminals or are defective. One of the signal cables between audio source and amplifier inputs has not yet been plugged in or is defective. [. . . ]
