VEC-1604KC Assembly Manual

Portable CD Amp Kit

To install your CD amp in the VEC-1604KC matching enclosure follow these
instructions (read all instructions before beginning... take your time):

1.

Find the front panel decal and trim.

Be sure to leave excess decal material

around the edges. Put the front panel decal on. This is done by: a.) Remove all
debris and oil from the face plate. This should be done using a piece of cloth
and alcohol. b.) Remove the crack and peel to expose the adhesive. e.) Place
the decal on the front panel without securing it completely. d.) Gently rub the
alignment circles with your finger--if the circles are centered in the enclo§ure
holes (also check the comer alignment marks) secure the decal by rubbing and

removing all air bubbles. e.) If the alignment circles are not centered, adjust the
decal accordingly, then secure. f.) Use a penknife, or small ExactoTM knife, to
cut away the unused edges (cut from the adhesive side) and cut out the
component holes (cut from the description side).

2.

Install the 2.1rnm power jack.

Find the two 3/8" small screws and the

appropriate nuts. Insert the jack so that the mounting holes line up, and tighten
the nuts onto the screws.

3.

Now insert the PC board. This must be done by: a.) Remove the nuts and
washers from RI, R2, and R13.

b.) Insert the front of the PC board so the

controls enter their respective holes. c.) Place the washers and nuts onto the
potentiometers and tighten. Ensure that the switch is aligned properly.

4.

Install the three 3.5mm stereo jacks into the respective holes. This must be done

by: a.) Remove the nuts from J 1, J2, and J3. b.) Ensure that the left output (J2),

right output (J3), and stereo input (JI) jacks are inserted into the correct
positions. c.) Place the nuts onto the three jacks and tighten.

5.

Find the knobs. Now put the knobs on R1, R2, and R13. You may need to
loosen the set screw. Align appropriately then tighten the set screws.

6.

Next, solder the red power (PWR) and black,ground (GND1) wires to the power

jack as shown in the following illustration.

7.

Install the face plate into the plastic enclosure.

Find the four 3/8" black

mounting screws. Insert the screws into the four mounting holes on the face
plate and tighten.

8.

Finally, place the four rubber feet on the bottom of the enclosure at the comers.
