Section 02 Setting the unit What's what Front side Rear side To adjust the switch, use a flathead screwdriver if needed. 1 LPF (low-pass filter)/HPF (high-pass filter) 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 frequency. ! When the full range speaker is connected: Select HPF or OFF. HPF eliminates low range frequency and output high range frequency. OFF outputs the entire frequency range. 2 GAIN (gain) control Adjusting gain controls CHANNEL A (channel A) and CHANNEL B (channel B) helps align the car stereo output to the Pioneer amplifier. Default setting is the NORMAL position. If output remains low, even when the car stereo volume is turned up, turn controls to lower level. If distortion occurs when the car stereo volume is turned up, turn these controls to 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 car stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to the NORMAL position. For use with an RCA equipped Pioneer car stereo, with max. output of 4 V or more, adjust level to match that of the car stereo output. 3 INPUT SELECT (input select) switch Select 2CH for two-channel input and 4CH for four-channel input. ! You can select input select only for connections when using the RCA input jack. For connections when using the speaker input wire, 4CH will be used automatically no matter which switch setting is selected. 4 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. ! You can select cut off frequency only for CHANNEL B. 5 Power indicator The power indicator lights up to indicate power ON. 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 improper 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. 4 En

Rear side
To adjust the switch, use a flathead screwdri-
ver if needed.
1
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.
2
GAIN (gain) control
Adjusting gain controls
CHANNEL A
(chan-
nel A) and
CHANNEL B
(channel B) helps
align the car stereo output to the Pioneer
amplifier. Default setting is the
NORMAL
position.
If output remains low, even when the car
stereo volume is turned up, turn controls to
lower level. If distortion occurs when the car
stereo volume is turned up, turn these con-
trols to 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 car stereo
(standard output of 500 mV), set to the
NORMAL
position. For use with an RCA
equipped Pioneer car stereo, with max.
output of 4 V or more, adjust level to
match that of the car stereo output.
3
INPUT SELECT (input select) switch
Select
2CH
for two-channel input and
4CH
for four
channel input.
!
You can select input select only for con-
nections when using the RCA input jack.
For connections when using the speaker
input wire,
4CH
will be used automati-
cally no matter which switch setting is
selected.
4
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
.
!
You can select cut off frequency only for
CHANNEL B
.
5
Power indicator
The power indicator lights up to indicate
power ON.
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.
