3.4. Switching on for the first time – the Soft-Start feature
The V 70 SE is equipped with a multi-stage Soft-Start-Turn-On protection circuit which extends
component as well as tube life considerably by protecting against stress caused by typical high
inrush currents during switch on.

Check that the Ecomode switch on the rear panel is in the "Eco off" position
