Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion--and,
most importantly, without 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.
To establish a safe level:
· Start your volume control at a low setting.
· Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
· Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,
we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Connecting the Unit
CAUTION
· Disconnect the negative (­) terminal of the battery
to avoid the risk of short-circuit and damage to
the unit.
· Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around it where they lie against metal parts.
· Do not route wires where they will get hot, for
example where the heater will blow over 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 mov-
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.
· Never feed power to other equipment by cutting
the insulation of the power supply wire to tap
from the wire. The current capacity of the wire
will be exceeded, causing overheating.

Setting the Unit
Gain Control
Adjusting the gain controls A and B will
help match the output of the car stereo
to the Pioneer amplifier. Normally, set
the gain controls to the "NORMAL"
position. If the output is low, even when
the volume of the car stereo is turned up,
turn these controls clockwise. If there is
distortion when the volume of the car
stereo is turned up, turn these controls
counter-clockwise.
· If you only use one input plug, set the gain
controls for speaker outputs A and B to the
same position.
· When using with an RCA equipped car
stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to
the NORMAL position. When using with
an RCA equipped Pioneer car stereo with
max. output of 4 V or more, adjust level to
match the car stereo output level.
· If you hear too much noise when using the
speaker input terminals, turn the gain
control counter-clockwise.

To prevent damage
· Do not ground the speaker wire directly or con-
nect a negative (­) lead wire for several speakers.
· This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-
ational vehicle, truck or bus, 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. Turn 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 power terminal through the
ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will
always be on when the ignition is on-- regardless
of whether the car stereo is on or off. Because of
this, the battery could go dead if the engine is at
rest or idling.
· Speakers to be connected to the amplifier should
conform with the standards listed below. If they
do not conform, they may catch fire, emit smoke
or become damaged. The speaker 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 away as possible from the speaker wires.
Install and route the separately sold battery wire,
ground wire, speaker wires and the amplifier as
far away as possible from the antenna, antenna
cable and tuner.
· Cords for this product and those for other prod-
ucts may be different colors even if they have the
same function. When connecting this product to
another product, refer to the supplied Installation
manuals of both products and connect cords that
have the same function.

Note:
· Specifications and the design are subject to possible modification without notice
due to improvements.
*Average current drawn
· The average current drawn is nearly the maximum current drawn by this unit
when an audio signal is input. Use this value when working out total current
drawn by multiple power amplifiers.
CAUTION
· Do not install in:
--Places where it could injure the driver or pas-
sengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
--Places where it may interfere with the driver,
such as on the floor in front of the driver's
seat.
· Make sure that wires are not caught in the sliding
mechanism of the seats, resulting in a short-cir-
cuit.
· Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when
drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier.
Protect all cables and important equipment such
as fuel lines, brake lines and electrical wiring
from damage.
· Install tapping screws in such a way that the
screw tip does not touch any wire. This is impor-
tant to prevent wires from being cut by vibration
of the car, which can result in fire.
· To prevent electric shock, do not install the ampli-
fier in places where it might come in contact with
liquids.
· To ensure proper installation, use the supplied
parts in the manner specified. If any parts other
than the supplied ones are used, they may damage
internal parts of the amplifier, or they may
become loose causing the amplifier to shut down.
To prevent malfunction
· To ensure proper heat dissipation of the amplifier,
be sure of the following during installation.
--Allow adequate space above the amplifier for
proper ventilation.
--Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat or
carpet.
· Do not install the amplifier near a door where it
may get wet.
· Do not install the amplifier on unstable places
such as the spare tire board.
· The best location for installation differs with the
car model and installation location. Secure the
amplifier at a sufficiently rigid location.
· Make temporary connections first and check that
the amplifier and the system operate properly.
· After installing the amplifier, confirm that the
spare tire, jack and tools can be easily removed.
Example of installation on the floor
mat or on the chassis
1. Place the amplifier where it is to be
installed. Insert the supplied tapping
screws (4
× 18 mm) into the screw
holes. Push on the screws with a
screwdriver so they make marks
where the installation holes are to be
located.
2. Drill 2.5 mm (1/8 in.) diameter holes
at the point marked, and install the
amplifier, either on the carpet or
directly to the chassis.

Cher Client:
La sélection d'un équipement audio de qualité comme l'unité que vous venez d'acheter n'est
que le début de votre plaisir musical. Maintenant, il est temps de penser à la manière de profiter au
maximum des plaisirs que vous offre votre équipement. Ce fabricant et le Groupe "Consumer
Electronics Group" de l'Association des Industries Electroniques veut que vous profitiez au maxi-
mum de votre équipement en l'utilisation à un niveau sûr. Un niveau qui permet au son d'être fort
et clair, sans beuglement ennuyant ou distorsion -- et, ce qui est plus important, sans affecter votre
ouïe sensible.
Le son peut être décevant. Avec le temps, le "niveau de confort" de votre ouïe s'adapte aux
volumes sonores plus élevés. Ainsi, les sons "normaux" peuvent en fait être forts et affecter votre
ouïe. Protégez-vous contre cela en réglant votre équipement à un niveau sûr AVANT l'adaptation
de votre ouïe.
Pour établir un niveau sûr:
·
Démarrer votre commande de volume à un réglage bas.
·
Augmentez lentement le son jusqu'à ce que vous l'entendiez confortablement et clairement,
sans distorsion.
Lorsque vous avez établi un niveau sonore confortable:
·
Réglez le cadran et laissez-le tel quel.
En prenant une minute pour faire cela, vous pourrez éviter des dommages ou des pertes de sen-
sibilités d'écoute dans le futur. Après tout, nous voulons que vous écoutiez pendant toute votre vie.
Nous voulons que vous écoutiez pendant toute votre vie
Utilisé avec sagesse, votre nouvel équipement sonore sera une source de plaisir pendant toute
votre vie. Comme les dommages de l'ouïe provenant d'un bruit fort ne sont souvent détectables
que lorsqu'il est trop tard, ce fabricant et le Groupe "Consumer Electronics Group" de
l'Association des Industries Electroniques vous recommandent d'éviter toute exposition prolongée
à un bruit excessif. Cette liste de niveaux sonores est incluse pour votre protection.

AVERTISSEMENT
· Utilisez le faisceau de câbles de liaison à la
batterie (un câble rouge et un câble de masse) qui
est vendu séparément [RD-223]. Reliez le câble
rouge à la borne positive (+) de la batterie et le
câble de masse à la carrosserie du véhicule.
· Ne touchez pas l'amplificateur quand vous avez
les mains mouillées, faute de quoi vous risquez de
ressentir une secousse électrique. Pareillement, ne
touchez pas l'amplificateur s'il est mouillé.
· Pour votre sécurité et celles des autres usagers de
la route, maintenez le niveau d'écoute à une
valeur telle que les bruits de la circulation
demeurent nettement perceptibles.
· Si le fusible monté sur le câble de liaison à la
batterie, câble qui est vendu séparément, a grillé
ou bien s'il en est ainsi de celui de l'amplificateur,
vérifiez soigneusement toutes les connexions
d'alimentation. Recherchez la cause de l'anomalie
puis corrigez-la; enfin, remplacez le fusible grillé
par un fusible de même taille et de même calibre.
· Pour éviter d'endommager l'amplificateur et les
haut-parleurs, le circuit de protection coupe
l'alimentation de l'amplificateur (les sons ne sont
plus émis) dès que survient une situation
anormale. Dans ce cas, mettez l'ensemble des
appareils hors tension et contrôlez les liaisons
entre l'amplificateur et les haut-parleurs. Le cas
échéant, recherchez la cause de l'anomalie et
corrigez-la.
· Consultez le revendeur si vous n'êtes pas en
mesure de résoudre le problème qui se pose à
vous.
· Pour éviter toute secousse électrique et tout risque
de court-circuit au cours des opérations de
raccordement et d'installation, n'oubliez pas de
débrancher le câble relié au pôle négatif de la
batterie (­) avant d'effectuer quelque opération
que ce soit.
· Avant d'effectuer un perçage requis par
l'installation de l'amplificateur, assurez-vous que
vous pouvez le faire sans danger pour les câbles,
canalisations, flexibles, etc., qui sont placés
derrière le panneau que vous devez percer.
