User manual VINCENT SA-94

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] The input "BALANCED" (7) can only be connected with audio devices that own a balanced output connector, too. Leave the input free if none of your audio sources uses this kind of connectors. Sometimes audio source devices have the option of using either of these connection standards. If you want, you can use the RCA sockets "REC OUTPUT" (8) on the back of the appliance to connect an analogue stereo recording device (e. ) or another appliance that is intended to receive the unchanged, fixed stereo output level (line level) from the signal source selected on the amplifier at any given time. The output level is independent of the VOLUME level, the channel BALANCE and the GAIN function. The input signals at the XLR connectors can not be obtained at the recording output (8) and thus can not be used as a source for recordings. 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. 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 (11). This preamplifier has two stereo preamplifier outputs with RCA connectors and one stereo preamplifier output with XLR connectors for the main amplifier channels. In this way it is possible to drive up to six loudspeakers (or bi-wire/bi-amp one pair of loudspeakers). The stereo music signal is transmitted at both RCA outputs (1, 2) as well as at the XLR output (BALANCED) at the same time. the main amplifiers supply the system's loudspeakers and the loudspeakers are connected to the outputs of these. You may use all outputs of this preamplifier at the same time. Instead of each stereo main amplifier shown here you can alternatively use two mono main amplifiers. To connect one pair of loudspeakers you will need two main amplifier channels, for example one stereo main amplifier. One option is to connect both RCA "OUTPUT" (9) sockets named "1" with two main amplifier RCA input sockets (named "INPUT" or "POWER AMP IN"). Please pay attention not to interchange right with left channels. [. . . ] You can try to use it at a different amplifier for a test. The cable connections are not tight, the connectors are dirty or a cable is defective. A record player has been connected to a line level input without using a phono preamplifier. The remote control cannot perform any functions No batteries inserted in the remote control, batteries are not inserted correctly or are depleted. [. . . ]
