ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the batteryʼs negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the receiver.

It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). If the maximum power is less

than 50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 14 of the INSTRUCTIONS).
