• To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and
speakers, the protective circuit will cut the power
supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an
abnormal condition occurs. In such a case, switch
the power to the system OFF and check the
connection of the power supply and speakers.
Detect the cause and solve the problem.
• Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause.
• To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit
during connection and installation, be sure to
disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery
beforehand.
• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when
drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier. Be
sure to protect all cables and important equipment
such as fuel lines, brake lines and the electrical
wiring from damage.
Setting the Unit
Gain Control
If the sound level is too low, even when
the volume of the car stereo used along
with this power amplifier is turned up,
turn gain control on the front of the
power amplifier clockwise. If the sound
distorts when the volume is turned up,
turn the gain control counter-clockwise.
• When using with an RCA equipped car
stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to
the NORMAL position. When using with
an RCA equipped Pioneer car stereo with
max. output of 4 V or more, adjust level to
match the car stereo output level.
• If you hear too much noise when using the
speaker input terminals, turn the gain
control counter-clockwise.
Power Indicator
The power indicator lights when the
power is switched on.
BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch
If you hear a beat while listening to an
AM broadcast with your car stereo,
change the BFC switch using a small
standard tip screwdriver.
LPF (Low-Pass Filter) Select Switch

speaker output connector and the car stereo system:
