What specific handling instructions are there for VENTURE appliances?
See “Operation instructions”.
Please note however, that it is always safe to switch off and unplug all mains cables
before handling any cable from the system, being interconnects mains, speakers, or
digital. This caution is not specific to VENTURE products.
Also, please allow 30 seconds (mainly to the power appliances) before unplugging
the cables. This will let the capacitors to empty themselves smoothly (no spark
effect).
These cautions are not simply an instruction manual chapter. Many problems and
failures can really this easy be avoided (ground short-cuts, sparks on appliances…).
The appliance does not switch on. No sound comes out. What can I do?
This is a vague question. We can only provide some clues to help you check the
main issues. Please check this list before contacting us.
1) Check your house mains alimentation
2) Check that your mains cable is connected to a wall-outlet (AC alimented)
3) Check that your mains cable is connected to the
VP100
Reference
inlet
4) Check that your appliance voltage is compliant with your domestic one
5) Check that the rear switch is set to ON
6) Check that your amplifiers are ON
7) Check that the preamplifier/amplifier are not in stand-by mode
8) Check that the remote control is operating (with right AAA batteries) to have
your appliance waken up from the stand-by mode (if it was)
9) Check that source elements are ON (CD player…)
10)
Check that source elements are connected to an
INPUT
plug from your
preamplifier.
11) Check that you selected that ACTIVE input
12) Check that your preamplifier and amplifiers are rightly connected (eventually
through active crossovers)
13) Check that your active crossovers (if any) are ON
14) Check that your speakers are connected to the amplifier. This check concerns
every pair if you use multi-wiring. Also check the cables on your speaker and
crossover ports.
15) Check that the appliance is not OFF due to the security-system. Unplug all, and
switch it back on once you have changed the faulty fuse.
