Connecting The Speakers; Installing The Microphone - Sony DSX-GS80 Operating Instructions Manual

Memory hold connection
When the yellow power supply lead is
connected, power will always be supplied to
the memory circuit even when the ignition
switch is turned off.

Connecting the speakers

• Before connecting the speakers, turn the
unit off.
• Use speakers with a 2 Ω impedance or 4 Ω
to 8 Ω impedance, and with adequate
power handling capacities to avoid
damage.
Subwoofer direct connection
You can use a subwoofer without a power
amplifier when it is connected to a rear
speaker lead.
To enable the connection, set [SUBW MODE]
in [SUBW DIRECT] to [1] to [3].
Note
Use a subwoofer with a 2 Ω impedance or 4 Ω to 8
Ω impedance, and with adequate power handling
capacities to avoid damage.

front speaker in parallel.
For this connection:
– Set [SPEAKER LOAD] in [GENERAL] to
[2 OHM].

rear speaker leads or use a dual voice coil
subwoofer with 4 Ω to 8 Ω impedance.
