CAUTION: T o prevent damage and/or injury ⢠Do not ground the speaker wire directly or con- nect a negati ve (âÂÂ) lead wire for se veral speakers. ⢠This unit is for vehicles with a 12-v olt battery and negati ve grounding. Before installing it in a recre- ational vehicle, truck or b us, check the battery voltage. ⢠If the car stereo is kept on for a long time while the engine is at rest or idling, the battery may go dead. T urn the car stereo off when the engine is at rest or idling. ⢠If the system remote control wire of the amplifier is connected to the po wer terminal through the ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will always be on when the ignition is onâ re gardless of whether the car stereo is on or of f. Because of this, the battery could go dead if the engine is at rest or idling. ⢠Speakers to be connected to the amplif ier should conform with the standards listed belo w . If they do not conform, they may catch f ire, emit smoke or become damaged. The speak er impedance must be 2 to 8 ohms. But in case of two-channel and other bridge connections, the speaker impedance must be 4 to 8 ohms. ⢠Install and route the separately sold battery wire as far a way as possible from the speaker wires. Install and route the separately sold battery wire, ground wire, speaker wires and the amplif ier as far a way as possible from the antenna, antenna cable and tuner . ⢠Cords for this product and those for other prod- ucts may be dif ferent colors ev en if they ha ve the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied Installation manuals of both products and connect cords that hav e the same function. Connecting the Unit CAUTION ⢠Disconnect the negati ve (âÂÂ) terminal of the battery to av oid the risk of short-circuit and damage to the unit. ⢠Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesi ve tape. T o protect the wiring, wrap adhesi ve tape around it where they lie against metal parts. ⢠Do not route wires where they will get hot, for example where the heater will blo w ov er them. If the insulation heats up, it may become damaged, resulting in a short-circuit through the vehicle body . ⢠Make sure that wires will not interfere with mo v- ing parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, handbrake or seat sliding mechanism. ⢠Do not shorten any wires. Otherwise the protec- tion circuit may fail to work when it should. ⢠Ne ver feed po wer to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the po wer supply wire to tap from the wire. The current capacity of the wire will be exceeded, causing o verheating. ⢠Ne ver replace the fuse with one of greater v alue or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improp- er fuse could result in ov erheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns.

Before installing it in a recre- ational vehicle, truck or b us, check the battery voltage. ⢠If the car stereo is kept on for a long time while the engine is at rest or idling, the battery may go dead. T urn the car stereo off when the engine is at rest or idling. ⢠If the system remote control wire of the amplifier is connected to the po wer terminal through the ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will always be on when the ignition is onâ re gardless of whether the car stereo is on or of f. Because of this, the battery could go dead if the engine is at rest or idling. ⢠Speakers to be connected to the amplif ier should conform with the standards listed belo w . If they do not conform, they may catch f ire, emit smoke or become damaged. The speak er impedance must be 2 to 8 ohms. But in case of two-channel and other bridge connections, the speaker impedance must be 4 to 8 ohms. ⢠Install and route the separately sold battery wire as far a way as possible from the speaker wires. Install and route the separately sold battery wire, ground wire, speaker wires and the amplif ier as far a way as possible from the antenna, antenna cable and tuner . ⢠Cords for this product and those for other prod- ucts may be dif ferent colors ev en if they ha ve the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied Installation manuals of both products and connect cords that hav e the same function. Connecting the Unit CAUTION ⢠Disconnect the negati ve (âÂÂ) terminal of the battery to av oid the risk of short-circuit and damage to the unit. ⢠Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesi ve tape. T o protect the wiring, wrap adhesi ve tape around it where they lie against metal parts. ⢠Do not route wires where they will get hot, for example where the heater will blo w ov er them. If the insulation heats up, it may become damaged, resulting in a short-circuit through the vehicle body . ⢠Make sure that wires will not interfere with mo v- ing parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, handbrake or seat sliding mechanism. ⢠Do not shorten any wires. Otherwise the protec- tion circuit may fail to work when it should. ⢠Ne ver feed po wer to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the po wer supply wire to tap from the wire. The current capacity of the wire will be exceeded, causing o verheating. ⢠Ne ver replace the fuse with one of greater v alue or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improp- er fuse could result in ov erheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns.

⢠This unit is equipped with a protective function to prevent malfunction of the unit itself and speakers from too much output, improper use or improper connection. ⢠When outputting sound at high volume etc., this function will cut off the sound output in a few seconds. But this is not a malfunction. When you turn down the volume of the head unit the sound output will be restored. ⢠If sound output is cut, the gain control of this unit may be improperly set. T o ensure continuous sound output at increased volume of the head unit, set the gain control of the amplifier to a proper position according to the preout maximum output level of the head unit (Fig. 1). There is no need to decrease the volume of the head unit and too much output is controlled (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). ⢠If you decrease the volume of the head unit and set the gain control of the amplifier to the proper position but still the sound cuts out from time to time, contact the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.
