TROUBLESHOOTING FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Before removing your amplifier, refer to the list below and follow the VBP4111421
suggested procedures. Always test the speakers and their wires first.
AMPLIFIER WILL NOT POWER UP.
Check for good ground connection.
Check that remote DC terminal has at least 13 .8V DC.
Check that there is battery power on the +terminal.
Check all fuses.
Check that Protection LED is not lit. Ifit is lit, shut off amplifier briefly
and then repower it.
HIGH HISS OR ENGINE NOISE (ALTERNATOR WHINE) IN SPEAKERS.
Disconnect all RCA inputs to the amplifier(s)-ifhiss / noise disappears, then plug
in the component driving the amplifier and unplug its inputs. Ifhiss / noise
disappears, go on until the faulty / noisy component is found.
It is best to set the amplifier's input level as insensitive as possible. The best
subjective SIN ratio is obtainable this way. Try to drive as high a signal level from the
head unit as possible.
PROTECTION LED COMES ON WHEN THE AMPLIFIER IS POWERED UP.
Check for shorts on speaker leads.
...
..... Mode

Check that the volume control on the head unit is turned down low.
Remove speaker leads, and reset the amplifier. Ifthe Protection LED still comes
on, then the amplifier is faulty.
AMPLIFIER(S) GETS VERY HOT.
Check that the minimum speaker impedance for that model is correct.
Check for speaker shorts.
Check that there is good airflow around the amplifier. In some applications, an
external cooling fan may be required.
DISTORTED SOUND.
Check that the Level control(s) is set to match the signal level of the head unit.
Check that all crossover frequencies have been properly set.
Check for shorts on the speaker leads.
HIGH SQUEAL NOISE FROM SPEAKERS.
This is always caused by a poorly-grounded RCA patch cord.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS SYSTEM WIRING

VSP4111421 4 CHANNEL TRI-MODE CONFIGURATION

1. Li ne Out RCA Jacks - The LINE OUT allows you to build multiple amplifier systems with out having to use splitter cords
to distribute the signal. Now it is simple a matter of bringing one set of RCA into the first amplifier, then using the line out RCAjacks
as the feed to the next amplifier.

2. Input RCA Jacks· These inputs are for signal cables from the source. Always use high quality shielded RCA cables.
3. Level Control - Enables the matching of input levels to the output levels from the head unit(or other signal source).

4. Variable High Pass Filter - When Crossover Mode Selector is in High Pass Mode, this control limits the frequencies which will be
distributed to the speakers to those above the value to which this is set within the range (40HZ-3kHz)

5. Variable Low Pass Filter - When Crossover Mode Selector is in Low Pass Mode, this control limits the frequencies which will be
distributed to the speakers to those below the value to which this is set within the range (40HZ-350Hz)

6. Crossover Mode Selectors - Determine the mode of built-in crossovers: low pass(permits only low frequency signals to pass to
speakers), high pass(permits only high frequency signals to pass to speakers), or flat.

7. Power. Protection Indicators - Provide instant information on status of amplifier, including short-circuit and thermal overload alerts.

8. Bass Boost Control - Increases sound level in lower frequencies by O/6/12dB (SW).
