User manual VINCENT SV-226MKII

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Two HiFi components that are able to react to the power control signal can be connected directly to the amplifier's power control outputs (17). 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. For that reason, every HiFi component that accepts power control signals is also equipped with a power control output. Thus, in theory it is possible to provide an infinite number of HiFi components with the power control signal. This approach, to loop a signal through a chain of components, is commonly referred to as "daisy chaining". Either a single speaker pair (A) or two speaker pairs (A+B) can be connected to the amplifier SV-226MKII. Both outputs are identically provided with the stereo signal of the currently selected input source if outputs A and B have been activated (4). For each loudspeaker you will find two connector screws (positive + und negative ­) at the amplifier's backside. one side of the speaker cable must be attached here. Each pair of screws has a label "R" or "L" nearby to clarify to which stereo channel it belongs. at the loudspeaker connection terminal there are similar connector screws or connectors. There, the polarity of each screw (+ or ­) can be identified as well and the other side of the speaker cable associated with this speaker must be attached. Make sure only connector screws of the same polarity will be connected by each speaker cable wire: a knob marked "+" in the amplifier's terminal must be connected with a speaker's connector screw marked "+" as well. Our sketch shows all connections necessary for one pair of speakers. If a second pair of loudspeakers is intended to be used, the connector screws of the lower row (speakers B) must be connected in a similar fashion to the additional speakers' input connectors. Many devices which can be controlled by a switching signal (not preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers), have two terminals which do not differentiate between input and output. In this case either of the two can be selected. "POWER CONTROL" sockets of preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers must not be interconnected!All receiving devices must not be connected to more than one preamplifier or integrated amplifier (directly or indirectly)!3 mm jack can be plugged into the socket "PHONES" (10) on the front of the appliance. If every speaker is connected in a conventional way (a two core speaker cable for each loudspeaker) and you own loudspeakers that are equipped with Bi-Wiring terminals (four connector screws) you have to make sure that the metal brackets (contact pieces consisting of small metal plates or short pieces of cable which are supplied with the speakers) are applied to the terminal and that each one connects the two knobs of the same polarity (e. The connector screw labelled "+" and "R" at the amplifier's backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "+" connectors of the loudspeaker assigned to the right stereo channel. [. . . ] You can try to use it at a different amplifier for a test. Humming low frequency noise is audible, even as no audio source is playing back A pair of headphones is still connected (10) so the loudspeakers are switched off. The loudspeakers connected have been turned off with the "SPEAKERS" dial (4). The speaker cables are not properly connected to the amplifier's terminals or are defective. [. . . ]
