SettingA T tle (English)the Unit
Setting the Gain properly
• This unit is equipped with a protective function to |
prevent malfunction of the unit itself and speakers |
from too much output, improper use or improper |
connection. |
Relationship between the gain of the
amplifier and the output power of the
head unit
• When outputting sound at high volume etc., this |
function will cut off the sound output in a few |
seconds. But this is not a malfunction. When you |
turn down the volume of the head unit the sound |
output will be restored. |
• If sound output is cut, the gain control of this unit |
may be improperly set. To ensure continuous |
sound output at increased volume of the head unit, |
set the gain control of the amplifier to a proper |
Power |

position according to the preout maximum output |
level of the head unit. There is no need to |
decrease the volume of the head unit and too |
much output is controlled. |
• If you decrease the volume of the head unit and |
set the gain control of the amplifier to the proper |
position but still the sound cuts out from time to |
time, contact the nearest authorized PIONEER |
Service Station. |
Gain Control of This Unit
Preout level: 4 V |
|
Preout level: 6.5 V | Preout level: 2 V |
| (Standard: 500 mV) |
•The above illustration shows the gain set to
NORMAL.
•If you raise the gain of the amplifier to an improp- er level, only distortion is increased and the power increases only slightly.

•With high output the signal waveform is distorted, if you raise the gain of the amplifier the power changes only slightly.
