DECLARATION OF ORIGIN

All Vision products are made in the People's Republic of China (PRC).

USE ONLY DOMESTIC AC OUTLETS

Connecting the unit to an outlet supplying a higher voltage may create a fire hazard.

HANDLE THE POWER CORD WITH CARE

Do not disconnect the plug from the AC outlet by pulling the cord; always pull the plug itself. Pulling the cord may damage it. If you do not intend to use your unit for any considerable length of time, unplug the unit. Do not place furniture or other heavy objects on the cord, and try to avoid dropping heavy objects on it. Do not tie a knot in the power cord. Not only could the cord be damaged, but a short circuit could also be caused with a consequent fire hazard.

PLACE OF INSTALLATION

Avoid installing this product under the following conditions:

• Moist or humid places
• Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating equipment
  • Extremely cold locations
• Places subject to excessive vibration or dust
• Poorly ventilated places

Do not expose this product to dripping or splashing. DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS ON OR NEAR THIS PRODUCT!

MOVING THE UNIT

Before moving the unit, be sure to pull out the power cord from the AC outlet and disconnect the interconnection cords with other units.

WARNING SIGNS

If you detect an abnormal smell or smoke, turn this product off immediately and unplug the power cord. Contact your reseller or Vision.

PACKAGING

Save all packing material. It is essential for shipping in the event the unit ever needs repair.

IF ORIGINAL PACKAGING IS NOT USED TO RETURN THE UNIT TO THE SERVICE CENTRE, DAMAGE IN TRANSIT WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.

WATTS

The most consistent standards for measuring watts are “Program Power” and “RMS” because these measure average sustained levels.

Amplifier power output changes depending on how many loudspeakers are connected. Professional manufacturers typically quote output based on 8 ohms. Less reputable manufacturers quote at 4 ohms to make their product seem more powerful.

This amplifier has an output of:

2 x 25w (sometimes referred to as 50w) @ 8 ohms (two loudspeakers connected)
2 x 50w (sometimes referred to as 100w) @ 4 ohms (four loudspeakers connected)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This amplifier module can be fixed as a stand-alone product or integrated into a Techconnect connectivity faceplate.

Using as a stand-alone product:

1. CONNECT INPUTS If you have a 2-phono cable twist the two ground wires together

2. CONNECT OUTPUTS Connect up to two speakers to each output (four total)

The speaker cable must be unshielded with a gauge of no less than 0.75mm. THE WARRANTY WILL BE VOID IF YOU USE UNSUITABLE SHIELDED CABLE E.G. PHONO CABLE.

1. CONNECT POWER

PROGRAMME MEMORY

By default power is turned on the amplifier resumes last input and volume level.

To change this so that it always comes on at a fixed input and volume level:

1. With amplifier in standby, press and hold the rotary dial for 10 seconds. Keep holding it down.
2. After 10 seconds the Input LEDs will flash alternately. Release the dial when the Input 2 LED is on.
3. Select input and set volume. Long-press the rotary dial to set amp to standby. This will save the settings to memory.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your system is not operating properly, please refer to the following information. If the problem persists, disconnect from power and contact your AV reseller immediately.

Problem	Correction
No Sound	Turn off and check connections.Check output level from sources. For example, laptop volume.The amplifier chip has temperature and overload protection. This means if the chip temperature is too extreme (outside - 40°C-50°C) or the chip is overloaded, the chip will temporarily mute itself. When normal conditions return, it will resume working.
No Power light	Check power connections
Distortion	Volume too highLoudspeakers may be worn or damaged
Sound only coming out one side	Turn off and switch output connections.If the side changes the amplifier is okay.Switch input connections and check input cabling.
