Page 4 / 22 I. FOREWORD 1. CONGRATULATIONS! You just have purchased the VP100 Reference preamplifier. VENTURE AUDIO first wants to thank you for your trust. The best components were selected for its realization, as an extr eme care was provided during its manufacturing.
Page 5 / 22 3. VP100 R EFERENCE VENTURE AUDIO continues its research and now proposes its br and new amplifier, VP100 Refere nce. Its commuted resistors design and its fully Single-End discr ete buffer allow obtaining a really more natural restitution, through a transparence and dynamic never reached at present times.

Page 11 / 22 V. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. P OWER SWITCH After having connected the different inputs to the corresponding appliances (CD player, tape, tuner...) and the outputs to the dedicated appliances (amplifiers, crossovers…), the VP100 Reference preamplifier can be switched on using t he power switch located on the rear panel.
3. PHONO S ECTION (RIAA MM/MC) The VP100 has an adaptive (active) input load. There is no need for users to adjust the resistance input according to the cell they use (as they used to do thanks to MC input resistors matrix). Just plug your turntable to the right RCA (be it MM or MC depending on your appliance) and enjoy the music.
Page 13 / 22 4. O PERATIONS Stand-By mode is accessible from the remote c ontrol. It allows reducing dramatically the energy consumption of the appliance.
5. D ISPLAYS DESCRIPTIONS Standard display at start-up After start-up, the display show s the volume (attenuation level) of -66dB, and the first i nput is activated (RCA) The volume can be modified th rough remote control or the dedicated front knob, from –65dB (low volume) to 0dB (loud).
By turning left the Volume knob, the phase is decreased by steps of 10° down to -180° (minimum). Last in the set-up program, we ca n teach the preamplifier some new remote control codes. This f unctionality is only to be use d when using a new remote control.
Page 16 / 22 6. S ECURITY VENTURE AUDIO appliances are designed to operate in a perfect reliable and durable condition. This operation can however be influenc ed by external events. Some of them will require the action of the inner VP100 Refere nce security system.
Page 17 / 22 7. C LEANING VP100 Reference preamplifier was designed to operate perfectly with no spec ific setting or maintenance for a large number of years. In case of dust removal, plainly process using a clean dry rag. In case of a dirty mark, DO NOT uses any detergent or solvent, but uses a clean wet rag.

Page 20 / 22 VIII. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What difference is there between VENTU RE and standard stand-b y mode? VENTURE stand-by mode does not switch off fully the appliance. Only the power stages are shut-off. They are the main curr ent consumers. The hea rt of the amplifier stays warm and operational.
Page 21 / 22 What specific handling instructions are there for VENTURE appliances? See “Operation instructions”. Please note however, that it is always safe to switch off and unplug all mains cables before handling any cable from the system, being interconnects mains, speakers, or digital.
