Tunina on the Am~lifier
T h e amplifier automatically turns on within a few seconds after remote voltage I s applied.
If your system is set-up s o that the headunit provides the remote voltage; then
it
would
turn on when your stere6 i s turned on. Note that there are alternate means of providing
the
12
volt remote control signal, including installing and auxiliary switch.

As stated previously, it is important to obtain a close match between the source
unit's output voltage and the amplifier's sensitivity or admittance setting.
1. Use a screwdriver to turn GAlN (MIN
I
MAX) fully counterclockwise to MIN.
2. Turn the auto sound system's volume control to about one-third of its full range.
3. Adjust GAIN (MIN
I
MAX) to a comfortable listening level.
4. Turn up the auto sound system's volume control until the sound begins to distort.
Then immediately turn the volume down to a point just before where the
distortion began.
Caution : Never
turn
up the auto sound system's volume control more than
needed to adjust the audio level, more than two thirds of Its maxlmum volume.
5.
Adjust GAIN (MIN
/
MAX) until the sound is at the maximum level you want the
amplifier to produce.
6. Adjust the auto sound system's volume control to a comfortable listening level.

FREQUENCY

N O T E : Raising the Bass frequency allows 'higher frequencles to reach the bass speakers
while blocking lower frequencies from midrange speakers. Lowering the Bass
frequencies allows lower frequencies to reoch the mldrange speakers while
blocking higher frequencles from bass speakers.

REMEDY
Check all fuses to amplifier.
B e sure Turn-on lead is connected
check signal leads.
Check gain control.
Check TunerIDeck volume level.
Clean contacts on fuse holders.
Check for speaker short or
amplifier overheating.
Repair power wire or connections.
Check connections to radio.
Replace fuse
Inspect for short circult or an
open connection.
Reverse Left and Right R C A inputs
to determine if the problem is
occurring before the amp.
B e sure proper speaker load
impedance recommendations
are observed.
(If you use an ohmmeter to check
speaker resistance, please
remember that DC resistance and
A C impedance may not be the same.)
Turn radio down
Wait for A M P to cool
Separate speaker wires and
insulate
