INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Sonance® component. Sonance also offers the largest selection of high fidelity
Please read these instructions carefully before connecting this device to your system. If connections are made incorrectly you may damage your amplifier/receiver.
IMPORTANT NOTE: TURN YOUR AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER OFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE FOLLOWING
VC30R APPLICATIONS
The VC30R is a rotary volume control. The volume can be controlled by turning the knob clockwise to increase volume and counterclockwise to decrease volume. This 10 position rotary knob incorporates light touch silent switching capabilities and can safely handle 30 watts per channel of power.
WIRING AND PLACEMENT
DO NOT mount the volume control in the same electrical box with AC house wiring, light switches, dimmers, or any other high voltage device or control. The VC can share gang boxes with other low voltage controls such as A/B speaker switches, infrared receivers and emitters, and other volume controls if these other devices are rated as Class 2 devices by the National Electrical Code. With

TIGHTEN THE PLATE SCREWS OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE PLATE. Finally, attach the knob to the control shaft (See Diagram 3).
OPERATION
Determine the maximum volume you wish to feed to the rooms in which you have volume controls and speakers. With your house music source (amplifier/receiver) turned down, turn the volume control(s) all the way up. Feed the amplifier/receiver a strong music signal, then gradually increase the amplifier/receiver volume until the volume in the room(s) is as loud as you are likely to ever listen. Take particular care that no audible distortion is heard through your speakers or speaker damage will occur. If you are using an amplifier with input level controls, such as the Sonance Sonamp® series amplifiers, adjust the level controls appropriately. Then return to the rooms with volume controls and lower the volume settings to normal listening levels. Setting the maximum volume will ensure safe operation for speakers and amplifiers. If you think there should be sound coming from your speakers but do not hear anything when the VC is turned all the way up, DO NOT leave it in the full ON position when checking your sources or source material. Otherwise there may be a startling increase in volume when the problem is remedied, and speaker damage may occur.
