OPERATION
Standby Mode
Vena will be in standby mode when powered on. The
indicator on front panel is lit. Press
button to bring Vena out of
standby. Vena will automatically go into standby mode when there is no signal input or operation for 30 minutes. Vena will be
switched to the Bluetooth source input when unit is activated for the first time, and switched to the last input source used after
that.
Protection Mode
Vena is protected by a thermal switch which interrupts the AC Power supply if the amplifier is grossly overloaded for a period of
time. To restore operation, simply press the
button on the front panel. It is thus fully protected against gross overload, short-
circuited output etc, but not necessarily against seriously inadequate ventilation.
Mute Mode
Vena will go into Mute mode with no sound output for 3 seconds when the unit is switched on and all indicators will flash 3
times. After 3 seconds the indicators will stop flashing and Vena will exit from Mute mode.
Users can also press to bring Vena in or out of Mute mode when playing music.
Volume knob
Vena has a volume control knob on the front panel. Users can decrease or increase the music level with this volume knob. Please
always turn up the volume gradually.
