Step 2 Turn the signal source volume control all the way down.. Set any tone controls to their flat or defeated positions.. This includes the loudness control..

Step 3 Turn the level controls of the amplifier to their minimum positions..

Step 4 Turn the source unit on.. Check to see if the power LED located on the connection side of the amplifier is on.. If not, please refer to the Power Connections and the Troubleshooting Tips sections of this manual for instructions..

Step 5 If using an aftermarket source unit, turn the level controls of the amplifier about one quarter of a turn.. Slowly increase the volume level of the source unit to so that you can hear the output of the system.. If no sound is heard or if the output is dis- torted, turn the system off immediately.. Refer to the Power Connections and the Troubleshooting Tips sections of this manual to solve your installation problems..

Step 6 Check to make sure the output for each channel is correct.. If the active crossovers are used, check to make sure that each output is correct from the amplifier.. When using active crossovers on midrange and tweeters, do not use crossover frequen- cies lower than recommended..
