3. GETTING STARTED

3.3. Installing the power tubes

The power tubes are in a separate box in the tube compartment

Insert the power tubes into their sockets as shown on the tube layout. Ensure that you correctly
locate the anti-rotation lug on each of the tubes.

on the tube socket

3.4. Switching on for the first time – the Soft-Start feature

The V 70 SE is equipped with a multi-stage Soft-Start-Turn-On protection circuit which extends
component as well as tube life considerably by protecting against stress caused by typical high
inrush currents during switch on.

1)

Check that the Ecomode switch on the rear panel is in the "Eco off" position

2)

Connect the V 70 SE to the mains. (On new units, this switch is set to "off" at the factory).

3) Switch on the V 70 SE using the amplifier’s mains power on/off switch.

Some LEDs will illuminate, depending on the position of the input rotary switch.

In any case the

Power LED

(indicates that the unit is switched on) and the

Soft-Start LED

will

be lit. The

will extinguish

a minute later

once the unit has booted up. The

V70SE is now ready for work.
