3. GETTING STARTED
3.5. Checking the power tubes – setting the bias
You do not need to have the speakers or any other partnering equipment to be connected to set
the bias. (For a more detailed explanation, see Chapter 8.3)
1. Turn the mode selector knob to BIAS. Four LEDs will now illuminate in the centre of the
display, one for each power tube. If the amplifier is still cold, the LEDs will initially illumi-
nate "yellow". After about five minutes, the tubes will heat up and the LEDs will then
show a reading.
LED array:
Top row: red LEDs Setting is too high
Centre row: green LEDs Setting is OK
Bottom row: yellow LEDs Setting is too low
2. If the LEDs do not turned green after approximately five minutes, you can now use the
small screwdriver supplied to adjust them to "green". (Turn clockwise to increase the
current.)
3. When all four LEDS are "green", move the mode selector knob to the "Linear" setting if
you wish to listen to your system. (Or move the knob to "External" if you wish to connect
an equalizer)
3.6. Connecting other components to the V 80 SE
1. Be sure to switch the V 80 SE off again!
2.
Connect the other components in your system to the appropriate sockets on the rear of
the V 80 SE. (See Chapter 5 "Rear panel connections" and Chapter 6 "Recommended
settings". See also Chapter 3.7. "Connection options: overview")
3.
Check that the switch positions on the front and rear of the amplifier are in their
recommended settings.
4.
Switch the V 80 SE on using the on/off switch and wait until the soft-start LED extin-
guishes. You can now play some music.
