Adjusting The Audio Level

---- -----

As stated previously, it is important to obtain a close match between the source unit'soutput voltage and the amplifier'ssensitivity or admittance setting.

1.Use a screwdriver to turn GAlN (MINI MAX)fully counterclockwiseto MIN.

2.Turn the auto sound system'svolume control to about one-thirdof its full range.

3.Adjust GAIN (MINIMAX) to a comfortable listening level.

4.Turn up the auto sound system'svolume control until the sound begins to distort. Then immediately turn the volume down to a point just before where the distortionbegan.

Caution :Never turn up the auto sound system'svolume control more than neededto adjust the audio level, more than two thirds of Its maxlmumvolume.

5.Adjust GAIN (MIN/ MAX) until the sound is at the maximum level you want the amplifier to produce.

6.Adjust the auto sound system'svolume control to a comfortable listening level.
