1Power indicator

The power indicator lights up to indicate power ON.

2GAIN (gain) control

Adjusting gain controls CHANNEL A (chan- nel A) and CHANNEL B (channel B) helps align the car stereo output to the Pioneer amplifier. Default setting is the NORMAL position.

If output remains low, even when the car stereo volume is turned up, turn controls to lower level. If distortion occurs when the car stereo volume is turned up, turn these con- trols to higher level.

!If using only one input plug, set the gain controls for speaker outputs A and B to the same position.

!For use with an RCA equipped car stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to the NORMAL position. For use with an RCA equipped Pioneer car stereo, with max.

3LPF (low-pass filter)/HPF (high-pass fil- ter) select switch

Switch the settings based on the connected speaker.

!When the Subwoofer is connected: Select LPF. This eliminates high range frequency and outputs low range fre- quency.

!When the full range speaker is con- nected:

Select HPF or OFF. HPF eliminates low range frequency and output high range frequency. OFF outputs the entire fre- quency range.

4INPUT SELECT (input select) switch

Select 2CH for two-channel input and 4CH for four–channel input.

Setting gain properly

!Protective function included to prevent malfunction of the unit and/or speakers due to excessive output, improper use or improper connection.

!When outputting high volume sound etc., this function cuts off the output for a few seconds as a normal function, but output is restored when the volume of the head unit is turned down.

!A cut in sound output may indicate impro- per setting of the gain control. To ensure continuous sound output with the head unit at a high volume, set amplifier gain control to a level appropriate for the preout maximum output level of the head unit, so that volume can remain unchanged and to control excess output.
