PC Board Configuration Jumpers
The VK-D5 is equipped with the following PC board mounted jumpers that can be used to
optimize its characteristics for particular user requirements.
Digital Output Enable-Disable (Jumper JP1)
This jumper is located between the two ribbon cables near the front of the unit. It allows the
user to disable the VK-D5 digital output (by moving the jumper into its Disable position) when
such output is not required or not used. Simply move the jumper back to EN to make the
digital output functional again. All units are shipped from the factory with the digital port
Enabled.
Operating the VK-D5
Turning the VK-D5 On:
The master power switch for the VK-D5 is located on the back-panel above the IEC power
connector.
When you turn the VK-D5 On, it will automatically go through a gentle power-on sequence.
This sequence takes 50 seconds, during which time the blue Standby LED will be flashing.
After this time the Standby LED will turn OFF and the unit is ready to play.
Placing the VK-D5 in and out of Standby Mode:
The VK-D5 features a standby switch in the right-most position on the front panel.
When you are finished playing music, simply place the VK-D5 in standby mode by pressing
this switch. The blue Standby LED will turn ON. To turn on the unit, simply press the
switch again and the unit will automatically go through the standard power-up sequence.
When the blue LED stops flashing, you can play music.
Phase Inversion Switch
The VK-D5 features a front-panel phase inversion switch. By pressing this switch, you can
compensate for recordings that are made "out of phase". The blue LED ON indicates the
inverted phase condition.
Front-panel CD player controls
The front panel CD player controls for the VK-D5 follow industry standard conventions for
CD playback and should be used accordingly.
