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 Soft-Start LED will extinguish a minute later once the unit has booted up. The

V70SE is now ready for work.
