Reseating Tubes
Normally, reseating tubes upon delivery is not required. However, if any tubes have
noticeably drifted out of position due to high transportation stress, it will be advisable to
reseat the tubes. Use the supplied Torx wrench to remove the top cover. Reseat the tubes
in their sockets and reinstall the top cover.
NOTE: When using the Torx wrench, make sure it is fully inserted so that the screw head
is not stripped.
Physical Placement
It is recommended that you provide for at least 6" of free space around the unit for proper
ventilation.
Mount the unit on a hard surface with proper ventilation underneath.
Do not stack the VK-D5 CD player on top of other units, nor vice versa.
Connecting the VK-D5 to Your System

back panel.

Single-Ended Components
Single-ended components have RCA connectors. The VK-D5 CD player allows
direct connection to a single-ended preamplifier using the back-panel mounted RCA jacks.
