Installation; Cable Connections - VINCENT SV-400 Manuel D'utilisation

Set up the cable links in a sequence as follows. Connect the power cable between device and power sup-
ply only after all other connections have been made. Two loudspeakers, one ore more source devices and
the mains cable have to be connected as a minimum. The cables for power control, to recording equipment
or to another stereo amplifier must only be connected if they are to be used.
Protective caps
Prior to the first installation the pro-
tective plastic caps must be removed
from all the connections used at the
rear of the unit.
RCA connections
Mechanically identical RCA plugs are available
for input and output connections. Make sure that
you do not get these connections confused during

installation!

Make sure that you do not mix up the analogue
inputs for right and left. The RCA plugs for these
are mostly colour coded as follows: red for the
right channel, black or white for the left channel.
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!

Cable connections

Make sure that all plugs fit tightly. Inadequate con-
nections can cause noise interference, failures and
malfunctions.

Speaker cable connections
The use of ready-made loudspeaker cables is re -
commended instead of connecting the cable's cen-
tral 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. Ensure that bare
loudspeaker wires are never able to come into con-
tact with each other or with the metal on the back
of the housing.
Make sure that the positive and negative loudspea-
ker 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 4Ω.
If you use loudspeaker cable equipped with 4mm
banana plugs you are required to remove the small
plastic plugs located in the connector holes of the
speaker clamps when first installing this main ampli-
fier in your system.
Cable connections
To make the most of the components' sound poten-
tial, 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.
