VK-40 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
STANDBY Button and LED
The Standby button is used to turn the unit ON and OFF and to switch the preamplifier into its
Standby mode. The LED indicates the status of the unit’s power circuitry and has four state:
LED OFF
Display OFF
Unit is in OFF state
Display ON
Unit is in ON state
LED Flashing
Unit is going through its Power-ON routine
LED ON
Unit is in its STANDBY mode
When the unit is plugged into a power line, it will stay in the OFF state until the Standby button is
pushed. The LED will then start blinking and the unit will go through a 50second warm-up
sequence. At the end of that sequence it will turn ON.
Pressing the button again will switch the unit into its Standby mode.
The VK-40 can be turned OFF by pressing and holding the Standby button.
VK-40 Power-On sequence:
When you turn the VK-40 On, it will automatically go through a gentle power-on sequence. This
sequence takes 50 seconds, during which time the display and the Standby LED will be flashing,
indicating the status of the unit.
1. The number on the display during this time indicates the volume setting. This will usually
start at 000. This setting can be changed during this time by using the volume knob or
Volume Up/Down buttons on your VK-R3 remote control transmitter. In addition, such
functions as Phase, Mono, input selection and Mute can be changed during this time either
from front panel or through the remote control.
2. Normally the VK-40 will be not muted (Mute LED on the display is OFF) and will begin
playing at the end of the 50 second delay. If so desired, the unit can be put in the MUTE
mode during this delay interval either by depressing the front panel MUTE switch or by
using the MUTE button on the VK-R3 remote control transmitter.
Turning the VK-40 Off:
The unit can be turned OFF by pressing and holding the Standby button. It will automatically
mute.
