INSTALLATION
Set up the cable links in a sequence as follows. Connect the power cable between device
and power supply only after all other connections have been made.
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 analogue and digital out-
puts. Make sure that you do not get these connec-
tions confused during installation!
Make sure that you do not mix up the analogue con-
nectors for right and left. The RCA plugs for these are
mostly colour coded as follows: red for the right chan-
nel, black or white for the left channel.
Cable connections
Make sure that all plugs fit tightly. Inadequate con-
nections can cause noise interference, failures and
malfunctions.

XLR connections
Note that European and US XLR signal use is diffe-
rent. This Vincent device uses the European system
in accordance with Standard AES14-1992 of the
Audio Engineering Society. The structure of the
cable is in any event the same. Provided both con-
nected devices meet the same standard, the signal
connection is correct. This is always the case if
both were manufactured by Vincent. If two devices
with different standards are connected, the signal
will then be inverted. In this case the signal use on
one side of the connection must be changed. Your
specialist dealer will assist you with this.
Optical Connection
The dust cap protecting the optical
digital input should only be removed
if a cable is inserted. After a connection is remo-
ved from this input, the cap should be replaced.
Cables
To make the most of the components’ sound potential, only high quality loudspeakers and connecting cab-
les, for example Vincent cables, should be used. Your local stockist will be glad to advise you about this.
