2FILTER switch

These switches allow filtering of the speaker output signals.

LPF (Low Pass Filter) position

Only frequencies of 80 Hz or lower are output. (Frequencies above 80 Hz are cut.)

The Lch and Rch will be mixed before output even if the operation switch is set to STEREO.

OFF position

The original sound without filtering is output.

3OPERATION switch

This switch allows selection of the amplification method of input signals.

STEREO position

The amplifier can be used as a stereo amplifier.

MONO (Lch) position

Amplifies the signal input from the left side only. Set to this position and make bridged connections to use as a high-power monaural amplifier. (The input right signal is not output.)

4INPUT SENSITIVITY control

Set this control according to the pre-output level of the center unit connected with this unit, or to the maximum power output of the genuine- accessory car stereo.

Use the diagram on the right as a guide.
