User manual VINCENT SP-T100

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Cable connections Make sure that all plugs fit tightly. Inadequate connections can cause noise interference, failures and malfunctions. RCA connections Contacting the middle pin of the RCA plugs with the outer ring of the RCA chassis jack may lead to damages to the main amplifier if it is switched on!To avoid this hazard, connect or disconnect only in switched-off state and more than one minute after deactivating!Speaker cable connections The use of ready-made loudspeaker cables is recommended instead of connecting the cable's central wire (strand) directly to the terminals. banana plugs or cable lugs ensure high security from short-circuits and damage to loudspeakers or amplifier. 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. Only use loudspeakers with a nominal impedance of at least 4. To make the most of the components' sound potential, only high quality loudspeakers and connecting cables, for example Vincent cables, should be used. Your local stockist will be glad to advise you about this. This main amplifier is equipped with a mono audio input ("LINE IN") on which the unit awaits the preamplified signal of an audio channel. This is the audio information that the SP-T100 provides for one or two loudspeakers. Attention: No source with a standard line level signal ("LINE OUT") must be connected to this input. This audio input connector must be interconnected to the output connector ("PRE OUTPUT" or "OUTPUT") of a preamplifier. If the SP-T100 is to supply one channel of a stereo system, connect the input connector of the SP-T100 with a preamplifier output socket that is usually labelled "PRE OUT R" or "PRE OUT L". If the SP-T100 is used in a multi-channel system, then the connection socket of the desired channel (e. "FRONT R") in the connection field of the decoder preamplifier usually marked with "AUDIO OUTPUT" is to be connected to the input of this main amplifier. The required voltage and frequency can be read on the back of the device beside the socket for the mains. If the electricity supply is appropriate, push the inlet connector of the supplied mains cable firmly into socket for the mains on the back of the device (7). Either a single speaker (A) or two speakers (A+B) can be connected to this amplifier. [. . . ] If the problem occurs and cannot be solved by yourself your audio specialist dealer will help you. Symptom Unit does not work after pressing the POWER button Possible Cause Mains cable is not connected to a suitable mains wall outlet. Mains cable has not been firmly inserted into wall power socket and the device's socket (7). If necessary, exchange it with a suitable mains cable and push its plug firmly into wall socket and the device's power connector. [. . . ]
