Venture Products V100A - Manual (Page 15)

P AGE 15
What specific handling instructions for VENTURE appliances?
See “Operation instructions”.
Please note however, that it is always safe to switch off and unplug all
mains cables before handling any cable from the system, being intercon-
nects, mains, speakers, or digital. This caution is not specific to VENTURE
products.
Also, please allow 30 seconds (mainly to the power appliances) before un-
plugging the cables. This will let the capacitors to empty themselves
smoothly (no spark effect).
These cautions are not simply an instruction manual chapter. Many prob-
lems and failures can really this easy be avoided (ground short-cuts, sparks
on appliances…).
The appliance does not switch on. No sound comes out. What can I do ?
This is a vague question. We can only provide some clues to help you check
the main issues. Please check this list before contacting us.
1. Check your house mains alimentation
2. Check that your mains cable is connected to a wall-outlet (AC ali-
mented)
3. Check that your mains cable is connected to the V100A Reference inlet
4. Check that your appliance voltage is compliant with your domestic one
5. Check that the rear switch is set to ON
6. Check that your amplifiers are ON
7. Check that the preamplifier/amplifier are not in stand-by mode
8. Check that the remote control is operating (with right AAA batteries) to
have your appliance waken up from the stand-by mode (if it was)
9. Check that source elements are ON (CD player…)
10. Check that source elements are connected to an INPUT plug on your
preamplifier.
11. Check that you selected that ACTIVE input
12. Check that your preamplifier and amplifiers are rightly connected
(eventually through active crossovers)
13. Check that your active crossovers (if any) are ON
14. Check that your speakers are connected to the amplifier. This check
concerns every pair if you use multi-wiring. Also check the cables on
your speaker and crossover ports.
15. Check that the appliance is not OFF due to the security-system. Unplug
all, and switch it back on once you have changed the faulty fuse.
