PC Board Configuration Jumpers
The VK-D5SE is equipped with the following PC board mounted jumpers that can be used to
optimize its characteristics for particular user requirements.
Digital Output Enable-Disable (Jumper JP1)
This jumper is located between the two ribbon cables near the front of the unit. It allows the
user to disable the VK-D5SE digital output (by moving the jumper into its Disable position)
when such output is not required or not used. Simply move the jumper back to EN to make the
digital output functional again. All units are shipped from the factory with the digital port
Enabled.
Operating the VK-D5SE
Turning the VK-D5SE On:
The master power switch for the VK-D5SE is located on the back-panel above the IEC
power connector.
When you turn the VK-D5SE On, it will automatically go through a gentle power-on
sequence. This sequence takes 50 seconds, during which time the blue Standby LED will be
flashing. After this time the Standby LED will turn OFF and the unit is ready to play.
Placing the VK-D5SE in and out of Standby Mode:
The VK-D5SE features a standby switch in the right-most position on the front panel.
When you are finished playing music, simply place the VK-D5SE in standby mode by
pressing this switch. The blue Standby LED will turn ON. To turn on the unit, simply
press the switch again and the unit will automatically go through the standard power-up
sequence. When the blue LED stops flashing, you can play music.
Phase Inversion Switch
The VK-D5SE features a front-panel phase inversion switch. By pressing this switch, you
can compensate for recordings that are made “out of phase”. The blue LED ON indicates
the inverted phase condition.
Front-panel CD player controls
The front panel CD player controls for the VK-D5SE follow industry standard conventions
for CD playback and should be used accordingly.
