User manual VINCENT SV-123

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] If a station's reception is of low quality in stereo, the sound quality can be increased by the "MONO" setting. TUNING MODE This allows you to choose between three settings in radio mode, which determine the function of the TUN/PRE (23) keys: "MANUAL" (manual frequency search), "AUTO" (automatic frequency search) or "PRESET" (change between stations stored in the memory). Your receiver processes input signals from the connected audio sources and the built in tuner. For this purpose it must be connected with the antenna and, using signal cables, with each source appliance. the input signals are amplified and fed to the loudspeakers via the loudspeaker outputs. Other receiver outputs consist of a recording output (REC Out), a pre-amplifier output (PRE Out) and a headphone output on the front of the appliance. Set up the cable links first for all inputs, then for all outputs on the receiver. Remove plastic protective covers Before installation, the plastic protective caps must be removed from all the sockets used. Connections loudspeaker The use of ready-made loudspeaker cables is recommended instead of connecting the cable's central wire (litz wire) directly to the terminals. banana plugs or cable lugs ensure high security from short-circuits and damage to the loudspeakers or the receiver. Ensure that bare loudspeaker wires are never able to come into contact with each other or with the metal on the back of the housing. Make sure that the positive and negative loudspeaker wires are connected correctly. You will notice a reduced sound quality if the connections are the wrong way round. Make sure that you do not get these connections confused during installation!Inadequate connections can cause noise interference, failures and malfunctions. - right RCA Connection Make sure that you do not mix up the analogue inputs for right and left. The cinch plugs for these are frequently colour coded as follows: red for the right channel, black or white for the left channel. Signal and speaker cables Only use loudspeakers with a nominal impedance of at least 4. CD recorder, cassette recorder, video recorder) or another appliance that is intended for receiving the unchanged, set stereo output level (line level) from the signal source selected on the The output level is independent from the volume, loudness and mute functions. To do so, connect this signal output to the signal input (RECORD or INPUT) on the appliance using cinch cables. You only need the "PRE" sockets (15) 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, perhaps even in another area. [. . . ] It is easy to establish the causes of such faults oneself by changing the position of the record player in respect of other appliances. When this is pressed, housing potential and earth conductor potential are disconnected from the central appliance signal potential. If this humming noise cannot be rectified by your own efforts, your local stockist will be able to help you. Power cable not fully inserted into both wall outlet and the appliance socket. [. . . ]
