INPUT SELECT: 
Pressing any input selection button on the VK-R3 remote control will switch the VK-51SE to that 
input. All of the set parameters associated with that input would be loaded at this point. 
DISPLAY/POWER switch. 
The Display/Power button on the VK-R3 remote control provides two functions: turning the 
VK-51SE display ON/OFF and switching the power to the preamplifier. 
To control the display: 
Pressing the display button will reduce the brightness of display and LED indicators in steps 
from full ON to OFF, and then one press back to full ON. 
Turning the VK-51SE OFF 
With the display in ON state, press and hold the Display button on the VK-R3 remote 
control. This function is disabled when the unit’s display is turned OFF. 
Turning the VK-51SE ON 
With the VK-51SE in its OFF or STANDBY state, simply press the POWER button on the 
VK-R3 remote control transmitter. 
Fuse Protection: 
A blown fuse in the VK-51SE is an indication of a serious problem. If a replacement fuse fails as 
well, no further attempts should be undertaken. Please contact the factory for professional service. 
The proper fuse ratings are as follows: 
  For 100-120 VAC Units:      2A 250V Slow Blow 
  For 200-240 VAC Units:      1.5A 250V Slow Blow 
Factory supplied fuses should be only replaced with the same type and rating parts. 
Servicing 
The Balanced Audio Technology VK-51SE should require no service in normal operation. Please 
direct any further service inquiries to the factory. 
Cleaning 
To remove dust, occasionally wipe the front and top surfaces of your VK-51SE with a damp soft 
cloth. If fingerprints appear, you may use a mild, non-alkaline soap solution. Do not use abrasive 
cleaners, as they may damage the fine finish of the unit.
