For maximum performance and reliability we highly recommend that your new VELOCITY series amplifier be installed by an authorized Blaupunkt dealer. We also recommend Blaupunkt cd or cassette units, speaker systems, and accessories to expand the listening experience which might be limited by lesser quality components.
"gain pumping" acoustical byproducts of inexpensive audio limiters are never encountered. Below is a visual description of a high level audio signal passing through a typical car audio amplifier and then through the new Blaupunkt VELOCITY amplifiers.
CONNECTIONS "CONNECTION SIDE OF AMPLIFIER" INPUTS INPUTS +12V OUTPUTS OUTPUTS POWER OUTPUTS OUTPUTS 1. TRIGGER LINE - This connection is the connection point that allows the amplifier to be switched on from a remote location (usually the radio). When a positive voltage is applied to this terminal the amplifier will switch on.
CONTROLS AND THEIR USE "CONTROL SIDE OF AMPLIFIER" 100 Hz HIGH-PASS 5-30,000 Hz BYPASS FRONT REAR GAIN (V) 1. INPUT GAIN CONTROL - This control matches the radio or preamp output voltage to the amplifier's input voltage so that full output can be achieved. Most radios provide only 0.5-1.0V rms output, so this control will easily accept nearly any input voltage.
Therefore, one of the most difficult decisions in amplifier usage is an optimized power amplifier configuration. The Blaupunkt VELOCITY series of amplifiers has the versatility to offer multiple installations but two particular designs are the most common in this class.

POWER OUTPUTS OUTPUTS Blaupunkt V420 PROPER OUTPUT INTERFACE Your new amplifier can be mated to loudspeaker loads as low a 2 ohms. Care should be taken to verify the loudspeaker's power handling capability to prevent damage to the unit should it's rating fall under the output power of this amp.
Check the main power connection at the battery. Check fuse in power line. If fuse is blown, replace it. If it continues to blow, see your Blaupunkt dealer. Disconnect all speakers and try to power up unit. If it now turns on, a speaker short is probable.
