3. From the TP2.5 phono preamplifier’s front panel Power On switch turn on the
preamplifier. Check to make sure that the Status LED indicates preamplifier warm
up mode, as indicated by the flashing Status LED. Check the position of the mute
switch on the TP2.5’s front panel. If the mute switch is in the down position, the
TP2.5 will stay muted after it is powered on until you set the switch to the middle
position to take it out of mute state. We recommend that you put the TP2.5 in the
mute state until you are ready to play your record and set your volume level
appropriately.
4. Once the preamplifier completes its warm up cycle and if the TP2.5 is in the
operating mode (mute switch up) the Status LED will stop flashing to indicate that
it has returned from the mute state into the operating state. In case the Status
LED do not behave as described above check to make sure that the power cable is
securely connected to the AC Power connector in the back panel of the
preamplifier, and that the power cable is plugged into the AC supply. Contact
your VTL dealer if the unit still will not power up after these checks have been
performed.
5. Turn on the line stage preamplifier followed by the power amplifier. Alternatively
if you are using an integrated amplifier only, turn on the integrated amplifier.
6. Put on your favorite record and get ready for some good music.
7. Change the TP2.5 to its operating mode if it is in mute and adjust the volume on
your line stage or integrated amplifier to the appropriate playing level.
Powering the system off
1. When you’re done listening to your system always turn your power amplifier(s) off
first. Allow a short time (15 - 20 seconds) for the amplifier(s) to power down after
you turn them off.
2. Then turn the line stage preamplifier volume down. This is a precaution to avoid a
sudden surge in your system the next time you turn it on.
3. Turn the TP2.5 preamplifier and source components off, if you prefer to keep
these off when not in use. (You may keep your VTL preamplifier and your source
components on permanently if you prefer to keep them warm.)
