Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns. • Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to tighten screws when fastening wires to the terminal. The use of a long, commercially available hexagonal wrench can cause excessive torque to be applied possibly resulting in damage to terminals and wires.

CAUTION Diagram A - Proper 8 + Ohm Speaker Diagram B - Improper 4 + Ohm Speaker 8 + Ohm Speaker L+ R- Pioneer Amplifier 4 Ohm Bridged Mode 4 + Ohm Speaker L+ R- Pioneer Amplifier 2 Ohm Bridged Mode 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 Ω load, wire two 8 Ω speakers in parallel with Left + and Right - (Diagram A) or use a single 4 Ω 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 Ω speakers in parallel to achieve a 4 Ω load or use a single 4 Ω speaker per channel. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local authorized Pioneer dealer or call Pioneer customer service. 3
