The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands Get the most out of your equipment by playingit at a safe level—a level that lets the soundcome through clearly without annoying blar-ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-out affecting your sensitive hearing. Soundcan be deceiving. Over time, your hearing“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes ofsound, so what sounds “normal ” can actuallybe loud and harmful to your hearing. Guardagainst this by setting your equipment at asafe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:! Set your volume control at a low setting.! Slowly increase the sound until you canhear it comfortably and clearly, without dis-tortion.! Once you have established a comfortablesound level, set the dial and leave it there.BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWINGGUIDELINES:! Do not turn up the volume so high that youcan’t hear what’s around you.! Use caution or temporarily discontinue usein potentially hazardous situations.! Do not use headphones while operating aboat; the use of headphones may create atraffic hazard and is illegal in many area-

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 if the LPF/HPF select switch is set to LPF or HPF. 2 GAIN (gain) control Adjusting gain controls CHANNEL A (chan- nel A) and CHANNEL B (channel B) helps align the stereo output to the Pioneer ampli- fier. Default setting is the NORMAL posi- tion. If the output remains low, even when the stereo volume is turned up, turn the con- trols to a lower level. If distortion occurs when the stereo volume is turned up, turn these controls to a 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 stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to the NORMAL position. For use with an RCA equipped Pioneer stereo, with maximum output of 4 V or more, adjust level to match that of the stereo output. ! For use with an RCA equipped stereo with output of 4 V, set to the H position. <5707000013050V>5

Before you start Setting the unit 3 LPF (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. 4 INPUT SELECT (input select) switch Select 2CH for two-channel input and 4CH for four–channel input. 5 POWER/PROTECT indicator The power indicator lights up to indicate power ON. ! If something is not normal, the indicator turns red. 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. <5707000013050V>6
