Before attempting operation, be sure to read this manual. WARNING · Always use the recommended battery wire and ground wire, which is sold separately. Connect the battery wire directly to the car battery positive terminal (+) and the ground wire to the car body. · Do not touch the amplifier with wet hands. Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Also, do not touch the amplifier when it is wet. · For traffic safety and to maintain safe driving conditions, keep the volume low enough so that you can still hear normal traffic sound. · Check the connections of the power supply and subwoofer if a fuse for the separately sold battery wire blows. Detect the cause and solve the problem, then replace the fuse with another one of the same size and rating. · To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and subwoofer, the protective circuit will cut the power supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an abnormal condition occurs. In such a case, switch the power to the system OFF and check the connection of the power supply and subwoofer. Detect the cause and solve the problem. · Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause. · To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit during connection and installation, be sure to disconnect the negative (­) terminal of the battery beforehand. · Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier. Be sure to protect all cables and important equipment such as fuel lines, brake lines and the electrical wiring from damage. · DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact with liquids due to, for example, the location where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock could result. Also, amplifier and speaker damage, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids. In addition, the amplifier surface and the surface of any attached speakers could become hot to the touch and minor burns could result. ENGLISH In case of trouble When the unit does not operate properly, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station. ESPAÑOL About This Product This product is a class D amplifier for the subwoofer. If both L (left) and R (right) channels are connected to the RCA input of this product, output is mixed because this product is a mono amplifier. DEUTSCH CAUTION Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns. FRANÇAIS ITALIANO NEDERLANDS 2 Setting the Unit Gain Control If the sound level is too low, even when the volume of the car stereo used along with this power amplifier is turned up, turn gain control on the front of the power amplifier clockwise. If the sound distorts when the volume is turned up, turn the gain control counter-clockwise. · 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. · For synced amplifier's gain control, see the "Setting the Gain for synced amplifier" section. Bass Boost Frequency Control You can select a bass boost frequency from 40 to 120 Hz with the bass boost control. MODE SELECT Switch You can select amplifier's sync mode from MASTER, SYNC and SYNC INV. For the position of the MODE SELECT switch, see the "Connecting the Speaker wires" section. Bass Boost Level Control Bass boost level control can boost the level around the frequency selected by the bass boost frequency control from 0 to 12 dB. Slope Select Switch You can select a slope for the LPF from ­18 and ­24 dB. 3 ENGLISH Cut Off Frequency Control for LPF You can select a cut off frequency from 40 to 240 Hz. BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch If you hear a beat while listening to an MW/LW broadcast with your car stereo, change the BFC switch using a small standard tip screwdriver. ESPAÑOL DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS Power Indicator The power indicator lights when the power is switched on. ITALIANO NEDERLANDS Subsonic Select Switch The subsonic filter cuts inaudible frequencies below 20 Hz to eliminate unwanted vibrations and minimize power loss. 4 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 moving parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, handbrake or seat sliding mechanism. · 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. · Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns. CAUTION: To prevent damage and/or injury · Do not ground the speaker wire directly or connect 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 recreational 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. · DO NOT connect a subwoofer with a lower impedance than specified in the "Connecting the Unit" section. Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating could result from a non-specified connection. The amplifier surface could also become hot to the touch and minor burns could result. · Connect either of two subwoofers to the amplifier; 1: a subwoofer with a 750 W or larger nominal input and an impedance 4 , or 2: a subwoofer with a 1,500 W or larger nominal input and an impedance 2 . If the nominal input and impedance are out of the above ranges, the subwoofer may catch fire, emit smoke or become damaged. · 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 products 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. 5 Connection Diagram Grommet Ground wire (sold separately) The ground wires must be same size as the battery wire.
