LPF (Low-Pass Filter)/HPF (High-Pass Filter) Select Switch
Set the LPF/HPF select switch as follows according to the type of speaker that is connected to the speaker output connector and the car stereo system: LPF/HPF Select Switch
LPF (Left) OFF (Center) HPF (Right)

In case of trouble
When the unit does not operate properly, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER Service Station.

WARNING
� Always use the special red battery and ground wire [RD-223], 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 speakers if the fuse of the separately sold battery wire or the amplifier fuse 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 speakers, 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 speakers. 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

Remarks
Connect a subwoofer. Use if you want to cut the very low frequency range* because it is not necessary for the speakers you are using.

Do NOT install or use your Pioneer amplifier by wiring speakers rated at 4 Ohm (or lower) in parallel to achieve a 2 Ohm (or lower) bridged mode (Diagram B). Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating could result from improper bridging. The amplifier surface could also become hot to the touch and minor burns could result. To properly install or use a bridged mode for a two-channel amplifier and achieve a 4 � load, wire two 8 � speakers in parallel with Left + and Right � (Diagram A) or use a single 4 � speaker. For a four-channel amplifier, follow the speaker output connection diagram for bridging as shown on the back of your amplifier, and wire two 8 � speakers in parallel to achieve a 4 � load

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.

Input Switch
It is possible to input from a car stereo external output (subwoofer output) or a car stereo speaker output. When using an external output (subwoofer output), slide the switch to the left. For connection instructions, see the �Connection Diagram� section. When using a speaker output, slide the switch to the right. In this case, it is necessary to use the supplied speaker input wire with RCA pin cord. For details, see the �Using the Speaker Input� section.

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.

BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch
BFC switch is on the bottom of the unit. If you hear a beat while listening to an AM broadcast with your car stereo, change the BFC switch using a small standard tip screwdriver.

� 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.
