"Repeatability"

-

your

assurance

of

a

product

reliability

In

days

gone

by,

the

term

"created

carefully

by

skilled

craftsmen”

exemplified

the

meaning

behind

'quality

assurance',

In

the

modern

manufacturing

environment,

those

same

skilled

craftsmen

now

design

the

processes

that

allow

the

economies

of

volume

manufacturing,

while

still

retaining

the

same

high

standards

of

quality.

"Repeatability",

is

the

B

&

K

house

term

for

a

quality

assurance

philosophy

that

is

the

culmination

of

several

well

engineered

manufacturing

processes.

The

four

most

important

of

these

are;

(a.)

a

manufacturing

process

that

functions

in

exactly

the

same

manner

with

each

and

every

audio

component;

(b.)

a

comprehensive

test

of

each

and

every

component

part

prior

to

installation

in

the

circuit

board;

(c.)

final

assembly

by

an

experienced

assembler,

and

(d.)

a

comprehensive,

functional

test

prior

to

final

packaging.

As

a

first

step

towards

manufacturing

a

’repeatable'

component,

B

&

K

employs

the

use

of

the

latest

technology

in

automatic

insertion

equipment

at

their

manufacturing

facility

in

Buffalo,

New

York.

Not

only

does

this

process

provide

a

complete

and

exact

duplication

of

each

and

every

circuit

board,

it

imposes

a

full

test

of

each

individual

component

just

prior

to

insertion

in

the

circuit

board.

Should

any

component

fail,

the

process

is

halted

automalically.

It

can

only

be

resumed

when

the

faulty

component

is

replaced

with

a

serviceable

unit

which,

itself,

must

undergo

the

same

testing

procedure

before

the

process

can

resume.

All

assembly

is

done

by

technicians

who

are

trained

in

the

art

of

doing

the

job

right

the

first

time.

Following

assembly,

the

unit

is

tested

rigorously

for

specification

and

reliability.

Only

then

is

the

unit

packaged

for

shipment.

Our

Pledge

to

You

The

decision

to

purchase

an

audio

component

is

one

you

have

not

taken

THE

VMR-

6.5.4

-

ITS

PURPOSE

AND

FUNCTION

An

exciting

and

reliable

source

of

high

fidelity,

audio

signal

amplification,

the

VMR-6.5.4

offers

excellent

versatility

and

cost

effectiveness

for

most

multi-channel,

home

entertainment

systems.

The

VMR-6.5.4

is

primarily

a

6

channel

amplifier

capable

of

delivering

a

clean,

fully

musical,

60

watts

r.m.s.

power

output

per

channel(8

ohm

load).

As

well,

the

VMR-6.5.4

offers

a

'bridging

feature

which

allows

those

6

channels

to

be

combined

into

three

more

powerful

Channels.This

presents

an

opportunity

to

use

the

VMR-6.5.4

in

a

number

of

configurations

for

a

variety

of

uses;

the

standard

6

channel

mode;

or

a

5

,

4

or

3

channel

mode.

Such

versatility

makes

the

VMR-6.5.4

a

particularly

compact

source

for

a

multiplicity

of

surround

-sound

or

multi-room

applications.

While

the

B

&

K

Components

Ltd.

VMR-6.5.4

is

engineered

to

interact

harmoniously

with

all

popular

sources

and

line

stages,

the

match

that

approaches

perfection

is

that

of

being

driven

by

any

one

of

the

excellent

B

&

K

preamplifiers

presently

available.

DESIGN

AND

CONSTRUCTION

The

VMR-6.5.4

utilizes

high

quality

electronic

circuitry

to

achieve

an

environment

wherein

a

detailed,

transparent

and

highly

musical

sound

can

be

realized.

The

high

quality

parts

compliment

includes

state-of-the-art

solid

state

devices;1%

metal

film

resistors;

computer

grade

electrolytic

power

supply

capacitors

and

a

high

capacity

toroid

transformer.

The

VMR-6,5,4

operates

class

AB

employing

very

high

current

MOSFET

power

output

stages.

As

such

it

is

capable

of

reproducing

the

most

demanding

digital

or

analog

recordings

at

full

rated

power

levels.

SETTING

UP

THE

VMR-6.5.4

Placement

of

the

amplifier

is

important

and

requires

some

pre-planning.

In

order

to

eliminate

interference

being

induced

in

the

amplifier

by

other

components,

It

must

be

physically

located

a

safe

distance

away

from

all

source

components.

This

will

avoid

their

being

influenced

by

the

fields

being

propogated

by

the

amplifier

when

it

is

under

heavy

load.

Ideally

the

VMR-6.5.4

will

be

located

near

the

speakers.

This

will

minimize

the

adverse

effects

of

inductance,

capacitance

and

any

damping

effect

that

might

result

from

speaker

wires

interacting

with

the

amplifier.

The

VMR-6.5.4

is

equipped

with

raised

feet

so

that

continuous

ventilation

can

be

maintained.

As

well,

they

help

to

maintain

acoustic

feedback

into

the

amplifier

at

a

minimum.

They

also

provide

a

measure

of

protection

against

scratching

any

surface

the

unit

might

be

resting

on.

Note:

Acoustic

feedback

can

be

identified

as

tow

frequency

vibrations

which

are

not

part

of

the

signal

from

the

source

material.

They

also

have

a

tendency

to

become

louder

and

less

controllable

as

you

increase

the

system

volume.

The

most

common

source

of

acoustic

feedback

interference

is

the

result

oi

having

the

preamplifier

and

source

components

too

close

to

the

loudspeakers.

.

SAFETY

&

CARE

CONSIDERATIONS

CONNECTING

AND

DISCONNECTING

CABLES

In

order

to

eliminate

potential

damage

to

the

speakers

and

other

components

in

the

system,

always

turn

off

the

amplifier

before

unplugging

or

plugging

in

the

preamplifier's

power

cord.

This

caution

is

also

applied

to

plugging

in

or

unplugging

the

interconnect

cables

running

from

the

preamplifier

to

the

amplifier.

When

plugging

in

or

unplugging

interconnect

cables

running

from

source

to

preamplifier,

always

rotate

the

preamplifier's

volume

control

to

minumum

and

if

available

mute

the

preamplier

first.

POWER

LINE

MODULATION

INTERFERENCE

During

heavy

passages,

the

power

needs

of

the

amplifier

may

fluctuate

considerably.

As

these

needs

are

felt

at

the

power

source,

the

line

voltage

available

will

in

turn

fluctuate,

based

on

the

instantaneous

power

requirement

of

the

amplifier.

It

is

an

effect

somewhat

like

one

person

trying

to

hold

on

to

the

end

of

a

rope

while

another

person

at

the

other

end

is

jerking

it

at

random

intervals.

Therefore

we

recommend

that

you

-

AVOID

CONNECTING

THE

PREAMPLIFIER

OR

THE

SOURCE

COMPONENTS

TO

THE

SAME

POWER

SOURCE

AS

THE

AMPLIFIER

To

do

so

may

subject

the

preamplifier

and

its

sources

to

power

line

modulation

interference

which

could

affect

the

operation

of

the

component,

thereby

resulting

in

a

degraded

audio

signal

from

the

source.

THE

INPUTS

AND

OUTPUTS

Located

on

SYSTEM

INSTALLATION

CONSIDERATIONS

There

will

most

likely

be

a

number

of

cables

involved

in

the

installation

of

your

home

entertainment

system.

Therefore,

pre-planning

is

essential

in

order

to

maximize

system

efficency.

We

recommend

the

following

as

a

means

of

helping

you

reach

that

goal.

-

Use

the

diagram

on

page

8

of

this

manual,

or

make

your

own

diagram

of

your

proposed

system,

to

lay

out

the

location

of

components,

the

VMR-6.5.4.

and

the

proposed

cable

runs

between

them

in

the

room.

Number

each

cable

and

record

its

length

on

the

drawing

for

future

reference.

For

example,

and

that

its

-

Cable

runs

are

critical

in

that

they

must

be

kept

away

from

sources

of

power

radiationfamplifiers,

power

cords,heaters

etc.).

For

the

sake

of

safety,

they

should

also

be

kept

out

of

traffic

areas.

-

The

process

of

optimizing

the

system

will

include

the

type

of

cable,

the

length

of

run

and

the

obstructions

it

must

deal

with

along

its

run.Your

dealer

can

advise

you

on

the

products

available

and

their

relative

merits.

If

building

custom-length

audio

cables

is

not

your

strength,

your

dealer

should

be

able

to

help

you

with

that

as

well.

If

you

would

like

to

utilize

the

bridging

option

which

converts

two

channels

in

order

to

create

a

more

powerful

single

channel,

see

the

ALTERNATE

SYSTEM

CONFIGURATIONS

section.

For

the

standard

configuration

of

one

channel

source

per

input,

most

of

the

planning

will

be

in

determining

which

input

you

wish

to

apply

to

which

channel.

A

typical

connection

diagram

is

shown

in

Fig.

3(a).

For

other

methods

of

setting

up

your

system,

see

the

section

ALTERNATE

SYSTEM

CONFIGURATIONS.

MAKING

THE

CONNECTION

1.

Before

doing

anything,

ensure

that

the

power

switch

on

the

amplifier's

front

panel

is

in

the

'off'

position.

Again,

it

is

recommended

that

you

locate

a

separate

AC

power

outlet

for

the

VMR-6.5.4,

one

that

is

not

shared

by

any

other

audio

component

in

the

system.

This

will

eliminate

the

possibility

of

the

amplifier

'modulating'

the

power

being

supplied

to

the

component

and

compromising

the

signal

originating

from

that

component.

2.

Locate

the

AC

power

supply

cord

and

plug

it

into

the

power

input

receptacle

in

the

rear

panel.

Do

not

connect

it

to

the

AC

power

supply

as

yet.

3.

Connect

the

audio

cables

from

your

preamplifier's

output

to

the

selected

channel's

input

connectors.

Make

note

of

the

input

number(as

suggested

in

the

"Considerations"

section

above)

so

that

the

correct

speaker

cable

can

be

connected

to

the

speaker

output

with

the

same

number,

A

is

shown

in

Fig.

4.

C

onnect

the

cables

from

your

speakers

to

the

appropriate

CHANNEL

output.

MAKING

THE

CONNECTION

(conl’d

)

5.

Double-check

the

cable

connections(both

ends)

to

ensure

they

are

plugged

into

the

correct

jacks

for

the

source

(L

or

R

-

front,

rear

or

side)

and

that

the

connection

is

tight.

6.

With

the

volume(gain)

control

on

your

preamplifier

set

to

full

minimum,

or

switched

to

'mute',

plug

the

amplifier’s

power

cord

into

the

AC

power

source.

Turn

the

VMR-6.5.4

power

switch

'on

.

The

panel

light

above

the

switch

should

be

illuminated.

7.

Place

all

level

controls

on

the

VMR-6.5.4

at

maximum.

SETUP

AND

CHECKOUT

The

next

task

will

require

that

you

listen

to

a

source

sampling(tape,

CD

etc.),

noting

the

levels

al

each

point

within

the

system.

During

the

initial

listening

situation,

you

may

find

the

dispersion

of

sound

to

be

unbalanced.

This

could

be

the

result

of

where

you

are

in

relation

to

the

speakers.

It

could

also

be

the

room

acoustics;

or,

it

could

be

the

manner

in

which

the

signal

is

being

distributed

in

the

stages

prior

to

the

amplifier,

The

VRM-6.5.4

provides

you

with

levei

controls

for

each

channel

so

you

can

adjust

the

relative

volume

of

each

channel

to

suit

your

personal

taste.

While

initial

audio

quality

will

be

very

good,

it

should

get

even

better.

terminal

and

the

other

to

the

"LO"

terminal.

A

speaker

with

a

’bi-wire’

option

provides

two

inputs

on

the

rear

panel

of

each

speaker

enclosure,

or

internally

on

the

speaker's

crossover

circuit

board.

There

is

usually

one

input

for

"HI”

frequencies,

and

one

for

the

"LO”

frequencies.

For

normal

operation,

these

inputs

will

likely

be

bridged

with

some

type

of

jumper

configuration.

Usually

it

is

a

matter

of

removing

these

jumpers

to

allow

biwiring.[See
