DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
Despite the fact that development is constantly
moving in the direction of digital audio format
and towards audio video systems with an increa-
sing number of channels, high quality stereo
systems still enjoy a large degree of popularity.
Some users are put off by the installation of expen-
sive multi-channel systems and enjoy viewing DVD
films in stereo. Other music enthusiasts do not
want to switch to a surround sound system becau-
se that will never reach the sound quality of an
equally prized High-End stereo system. Those who
wish to combine both worlds - surround sound and
premium stereo -, can often not avoid having two
separate amplifiers and/or receivers, because
many multi-channel systems focus on functionality
rather than on uncompromised sound quality for
all audio channels. If that is to be avoided and the
speakers of an existing stereo system are also
required to serve as front speakers for a surround
sound system (so that a separate pair of front
speakers does not need to be acquired), then both
systems must be coupled together. For most setups
that is not possible. Only if a stereo amplifier is
used, which has the function for one of its inputs
to act only as a power amplifier, and hence pro-
vides no audio gain to this input, can the stereo
system be employed as a user friendly part of a
surround sound system.

The SV-234 is the most versatile integrated stereo
amplifier from the Vincent range. It can serve both
as an amplifier for high quality stereo sources and
then, at the push of a button, it becomes a stereo
output stage (for example for the front speakers of
a home cinema system). A special feature of this
equipment is the possibility to attach a stereo sour-
ce with balanced audio connectors (XLR).
Naturally, it all comes with the highest quality
workmanship and an outstanding price perfor-
mance ratio.
This integrated amplifier is an ideal partner for
DVD players, CD players, tuners, headphone
amplifiers and speakers from Vincent. It can also
form part of a Vincent multi-channel system based
on a decoder preamplifier or on an AV amplifier.
In this role it supports the "Power Control" functi-
on. Together with the HiFi furniture and speaker
cables from the range, one can build a perfectly
harmonious system.

1. SPEAKER A/B
If suitable speakers are used, a second pair of
speakers can be operated at the same time.
This button allows each of the speaker pairs
(designated A and B) to be individually
switched on and off. The LED located above
each of the buttons shows which of the speaker
pairs is active.
2. Display
In normal use the display shows the name of
the selected input, the volume and the opera-
ting mode (Audio Mute). When adjustments
are being made (e.g. to BALANCE, GAIN),
the relevant values are displayed.
3. LEVEL / : Volume keys
These are the keys for the adjustment of the
main volume level of the system. They conse-
quently control the volume of the loudspeakers
and the signal of the stereo preamplifier out-
put "PRE OUTPUT". Only for the playback of
the audio source at the input "LINE5" the
volume setting has no effect.
4. „LINE1" ... „LINE5" and "BALANCED":
Input selection With a touch on one of
these buttons you choose for playback the audio
source attached to the corresponding connec-
tors at the amplifier's backside.

5. POWER
This is the main power switch for turning on
and off the device. Please take note of the
information about it in the sections
"Installation" and "Operating the device".
6. LED signaling display shut-off
This LED remains illuminated when the display
is switched off by the "DIMMER" (7) function.
That helps to not misinterpret a shut-off display
as consequence of a shut-off device.
7. DIMMER: Brightness setting for the
display
The brightness of the front panel display can
be reduced in two steps using this button.
If you press it repeatedly, the third actuation
switches off the display. With a fourth stroke,
the maximum display brightness will be
restored again.
8. CHANNEL: Channel Balance
These are the buttons that enable you to set
a volume difference between the left and the
right stereo channel ("BALANCE").
