If you can’t find the specified capacity fuse at your store etc., consult your Kenwood dealer.

2Battery terminal

3Ground terminal

4Power control terminal

Controls the unit ON/OFF.

NOTE

Controls the unit power. Be sure to connect it with all the systems.

NOTE

•The genuine-accessory car stereo shall have a maximum power output of no more than 40 W.

•Do not connect the speaker output leads from a power amplifier (Optional) to the speaker level input terminals of this unit, for this may cause malfunction or damage.

•Do not connect cables and leads to both RCA cable input jacks and the speaker level input terminals simultaneously, for this may cause malfunction or damage.

•Connect the power control lead to a power supply which can be turned ON/OFF by the ignition key switch (ACC line). With this connection, shock noise may be generated when the power of the genuine-accessory car stereo is switched ON/OFF.

This switch allows to apply high-pass or low-pass filtering to the speaker outputs.

• HPF (High-Pass Filter) position:

The filter outputs the band of higher

frequencies than the frequency set with the

"HPF FREQUENCY" control.

• OFF position:

The entire bandwidth is output without

filtering.

• LPF (Low-Pass Filter) position:

The filter outputs the band of lower frequencies

than the frequency set with the "LPF

FREQUENCY" control.

The speaker output is automatically switched to

monaural (L+R).

% OPERATION switch

This switch is used to select the operation mode

5Speaker output terminals

•Stereo Connections:

When you wish to use the unit as a stereo amplifier, stereo connections are used.

The speakers to be connected should have an impedance of 2Ω or greater. When multiple speakers are to be connected, ensure that the combined impedance is 2Ω or greater for each channel.

•Bridged Connections:

When you wish to use the unit as a high-output monaural amplifier, bridged connections are used. (Make connections to the LEFT channel

9 and the RIGHT channel · SPEAKER OUTPUT terminals.)

The speakers to be connected should have an impedance of 4Ω or greater. When multiple speakers are to be connected, ensure that the combined impedance is 4Ω or greater.

2CAUTION

The rated input of the speakers should be no less than the maximum output of the amplifier. Otherwise malfunction may result.

7LINE IN terminal

8LINE OUT terminal

The signal that’s input from the line input terminal is output.

9Power indicator

When the power is turned on, the Power indicator lights.

If the Power indicator does not light when the power is turned on, the protection function may be activated. Check whether there is any indication of trouble. (See page 2)

0Illumination

!BASS BOOST LEVEL control

Sets the low frequency level to be compensated.

@LPF FREQUENCY control

Sets the cutoff frequency when the "FILTER" switch is set to "LPF".

#HPF FREQUENCY control

Sets the cutoff frequency when the "FILTER" switch is set to "HPF".

of the amplifier.

• 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.)

^INPUT 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.

NOTE

For the pre-output level or the maximum power output, refer to the <Specifications> in the instruction manual of the center unit.
