Connecting the units

Before connecting the

amplifier

WARNING

! Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe-

sive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap sections

in contact with metal parts in adhesive tape.

! Never cut the insulation of the power supply

to feed power to other equipment. Current ca-

pacity of the wire is limited.

CAUTION

! Never shorten any wires, the protection circuit

may malfunction.

! Never wire the speaker negative cable directly

to ground.

! Never band together multiple speaker's nega-

tive cables.

! If the system remote control wire of the ampli-

fier is connected to the power terminal via the

ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will re-

main on with the ignition whether the car

stereo is on or off, which may exhaust battery

if the engine is at rest or idling.

! Install and route the separately sold battery

wire as far as possible from the speaker wires.

Install and route the separately sold battery

wire, ground wire, speaker wires and the am-

plifier as far away as possible from the anten-

na, antenna cable and tuner.

About bridged mode

! Do not install or use this amplifier by wiring

speakers rated at 4 W (or lower) in parallel to

achieve a 2 W (or lower) bridged mode (Dia-

gram B).

Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating

could result from improper bridging. The am-

plifier surface could also become hot to the

touch and minor burns could result.

To properly install or use a bridged mode and

achieve a 4 W load, wire two 8 W speakers in

parallel with Left + and Right * (Diagram A)

or use a single 4 W speaker.

In addition, refer to the speaker instruction

manual for information on the correct connec-

tion procedure.

! For any further enquiries, contact your local

authorized Pioneer dealer or customer

service.

About suitable

specification of speaker

Ensure speakers conform to the following

standards, otherwise there is a risk of fire,

smoke or damage. Speaker impedance is 2 W

to 8 W for stereo connection, or 4 W to 8 W for

monaural and other bridge connection.
