The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound
come through clearly without annoying blar-
ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level”adapts to higher volumes of
sound, so what sounds “normal”can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
!Set your volume control at a low setting.
!Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without dis-
tortion.
!Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
!Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
!Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
!Do not use headphones while operating a
boat; the use of headphones may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many area-
s.
About This Product

ver if needed.
1POWER/PROTECT indicator
The power indicator lights up to indicate
power ON.
!If something is not normal, the indicator
turns red.
2GAIN (gain) control
If the output remains low, even when the
stereo volume is turned up, turn the con-
trols to a lower level. If distortion occurs
when the stereo volume is turned up, turn
these controls to a higher level.
!For use with an RCA equipped stereo
(standard output of 500 mV), set to the
NORMAL position. For use with an RCA
equipped Pioneer stereo, with maximum
output of 4 V or more, adjust level to
match that of the stereo output.
!For use with an RCA equipped stereo
with output of 4 V, set to the Hposition.
!If you hear too much noise when using
the speaker input terminals, turn the
gain control to higher level.
3LPF (low-pass filter) cut off frequency
control
You can select a cut off frequency from
40 Hz to 240 Hz.

below are cut.
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.
!Despite correct volume and gain settings,
the unit sound still cuts out periodically. In
such cases, please contact the nearest
authorized Pioneer Service Station.

Relationship between amplifier gain
and head unit output power
If amplifier gain is raised improperly, this will
simply increase distortion, with little increase
in power.
Signal waveform when outputting at
high volume using amplifier gain
control
If the signal waveform is distorted due to high
output, even if the amplifier gain is raised, the
output power will change only slightly.

!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 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.
Connecting the speakers
This amplifier can be connected to two speak-
ers in parallel. Connect the speaker leads to
suit the mode according to the figure shown
below.
Precautions for parallel connection
!When wiring two speakers in parallel, make
sure that the synthetic impedance is from
1Wto 8 Wto prevent the amplifier from
catching fire, generating smoke and/or
being damaged.
!When connected in parallel with the syn-
thetic impedance less than 1 W, as a nor-
mal function, this amplifier may
automatically be set on mute if outputting
high volume sound. Turn down the volume
until the mute function is canceled.

turned on. When the headunit is turned off,
the amplifier turns off automatically. This
function may not work with some headunits.
In such cases, please use a system remote
control wire (sold separately). If multiple am-
plifiers are to be connected together synchro-
nously, connect the head unit and all
amplifiers via the system remote control wire.
!This amplifier automatically selects an input
signal mode between the RCA level and the
speaker level by detecting an input signal.
Solderless terminal

!Since the wire may become loose over
time, it must be periodically inspected and
tightened as necessary.
!Do not solder or bind the ends of the
twisted wires.
!Fasten while making sure to not to clamp
the insulating sheath of the wire.
!Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to
tighten and loosen the terminal screw of
the amplifier and use it to securely fasten
the wire. Be careful to avoid excessive tigh-
tening of this screw, which may damage
the wire.

WARNING
!To ensure proper installation, use the supplied
parts in the manner specified. If any parts
other than those supplied are used, they may
damage internal parts of the amplifier, or be-
come loose causing the amplifier to shut
down.
!Do not install in:
—Places where injury could occur if the boat
stops suddenly.
—Places where it may interfere with the
boat's operator.
!Install tapping screws in such a way that the
screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-
portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-
bration of the boat, which can result in fire.
!Make sure that wires do not get caught in the
sliding mechanism or touch the legs of a per-
son in the boat as short-circuit may result.
!When drilling to install the amplifier, always
confirm no parts are behind the panel and
protect all cables and important equipment
(e.g. cables, wiring, hoses, and modules) from
damage.
CAUTION
!To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-
fier, ensure the following during installation:
—Allow adequate space above the amplifier
for proper ventilation.
—Do not cover the amplifier.
!Place all cables away from hot places, such
as near the heater outlet.
!The optimal installation location differs de-
pending on the boat model. Secure the ampli-
fier at a sufficiently rigid location.
