Before you startThe Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blar- ing or distortion and, most importantly, with- out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL: ! Set your volume control at a low setting. ! Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without dis- tortion. ! Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

GUIDELINES: ! Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. ! Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. ! Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. If you experience problems Should this product fail to operate properly, please contact your dealer or nearest author- ized Pioneer Service Station. Before connecting/ installing the amplifier WARNING ! This unit is for vehicles with a 12 V battery and negative grounding. Before installing in re- creational vehicles, trucks or buses, check the battery voltage. ! When installing this unit, make sure to con- nect the ground wire first. Ensure that the ground wire is properly connected to metal parts of the car’s body. The ground wire of the one of this unit must be connected to the car separately with different screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire, generation of smoke or malfunction. ! Be sure to install the fuse to the battery wire. ! Always use a fuse of the rating prescribed. The use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke, damage to the pro- duct and injury, including burns. ! Check the connections of the power supply and speakers if the fuse of the separately sold battery wire or the amplifier fuse blows. Deter- mine and resolve the cause, then replace the fuse with and identical equivalent. ! Always install the amplifier on a flat surface. Do not install the amplifier on a surface that is not flat or on a surface with a protrusion. Doing so could result in malfunction. ! When installing the amplifier, do not allow parts such as extra screws to get caught be- tween the amplifier and the automobile. Doing so could cause malfunction. ! Do not allow this unit to come into contact with liquids. Electrical shock could result. Also, damage to this unit, smoke, and over- heating could result from contact with liquids. The surfaces of the amplifier and any attached speakers may also heat up and cause minor burns. <15090317101>3

Before you start! In the event of any abnormality, the power supply to the amplifier is cut off to prevent equipment malfunction. If this occurs, switch the system power off and check the power supply and speaker connections. If you are un- able to determine the cause, please contact your dealer. ! Always disconnect the negative * terminal of the battery beforehand to avoid the risk of electric shock or short circuit during installa- tion. ! Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or other malfunction. CAUTION ! Always keep the volume low enough to hear outside sounds. ! Extended use of the car stereo while the en- gine is at rest or idling may exhaust the bat- tery. About the protection function This product has protection function. When this product detects something abnormal, the follow- ing functions will operate to protect the product and speaker output. ! The POWER/PROTECT indicator will turn red and the amplifier will shut down in the situa- tions outlined below. — If a DC voltage is applied to the speaker output terminal. ! The POWER/PROTECT indicator will turn red and the output will be muted in the situations outlined below. — If the speaker output terminal and speaker wire are short-circuited. — If the subwoofer output terminal and sub- woofer wire are short-circuited. !

Rear side To adjust the switch, use a flathead screwdri- ver if needed. 1 FREQ (cut off frequency) control Cut off frequency selectable from 40 Hz to 500 Hz. ! Set the LPF/HPF select switch to LPF or HPF according to the type of frequency that you want to cut off. 2 LPF (low-pass filter)/HPF (high-pass fil- ter) select switch Switch the settings based on the connected speaker. ! When a full-range speaker is connected, select HPF or OFF. HPF eliminates low- range frequency and outputs high-range frequency. OFF outputs the entire fre- quency range. ! When a low-range speaker or subwoofer is connected, select LPF. 3 GAIN (gain) control Adjusting the gain controls helps align the car stereo output to the Pioneer amplifier. The default setting is the NORMAL position. If the output remains low, even when the car stereo volume is turned up, turn the con- trols to a lower level. If distortion occurs when the car stereo volume is turned up, turn these controls to a higher level. ! In case of a bridge connection, 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 maxi- mum output of 4 V or more, adjust level to match that of the car stereo output. ! For use with an RCA equipped car stereo with output of 4 V, set to the H position. 4 2CH-4CH INPUT SELECT (input select) switch For details, refer to Connecting the car stereo on page 9. 5 SP INPUT (speaker input) terminal Please see the following section for speaker connection instructions. Refer to Connec- tions when using the speaker input wire on page 11. 6 POWER/PROTECT indicator The power indicator lights up to indicate power ON. ! If something is not normal, the indicator turns red. 7 A/B-SW INPUT SELECT (input select) switch For details, refer to Connecting the car stereo on page 9. 8 SLOPE (slope) select switch Select the slope of LPF from –12 dB (shallow slope) or –24 dB (sharp slope). 9 BB-REMOTE (bass boost level remote control) jack By connecting the Bass boost level remote control to the jack on the main unit, you will be able to select a bass boost level from 0 dB to 18 dB. ! The bass boost level setting applies only to the subwoofer output. <15090317101>5

Setting the unit! For instruction of connecting the bass boost remote control to the amplifier, see the Connection diagram on page 7. 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. ! Despite correct volume and gain settings, the unit sound still cuts out periodically. In such cases, please contact the nearest authorized Pioneer Service Station. Gain control of this unit Preout level: 2 V (Standard: 500 mV) Preout level: 4 V Above illustration shows NORMAL gain set- ting. Relationship between amplifier gain and head unit output power If amplifier gain is raised improperly, this will simply increase distortion, with little increase in power. Signal waveform when outputting at high volume using amplifier gain control If the signal waveform is distorted due to high output, even if the amplifier gain is raised, the output power will change only slightly. <15090317101>6
