Setting Gain Properly - Pioneer GM-ME600X6 Owner's Manual

NOR (normal) position.
If the output remains low even when the
headunit volume is turned up, turn the
volume to a lower level (clockwise). If dis-
tortion occurs when the headunit volume is
turned up, turn these volumes to a higher
level (counterclockwise).
If using only one input plug, set the gain
volumes for speaker outputs A, B, and C
to the same position.
For use with an RCA equipped stereo
(standard output of 500 mV), set to the
NOR (normal) position. For use with an
RCA equipped Pioneer stereo with max-
imum 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 H (High)
position.

Switch the settings based on the con-
nected speaker.
When the Subwoofer is connected:
Select LPF. This eliminates high range
frequency and outputs low range
frequency.
When the full range speaker is
connected:
Select HPF or OFF. HPF eliminates low
range frequency and output high range
frequency. OFF outputs the entire fre-
quency range.
5 INPUT SENS switch
Select RCA for RCA level input signals or SP
for Speaker level input signals.
6 SPEAKER SETTING (output power
Switch the output power according to the
connected speaker.
7 SPEAKER SETTING (output channel
Switch the number of channels accord-
ing to the connected speaker. When the
Subwoofer is connected, select MONO,
when the full range speaker is connected,
select 2CH.
8
Cut off frequency selectable from 50 Hz to
500 Hz if the LPF/HPF select switch is set to
LPF or HPF. For precise frequency informa-
tion , refer to Precise Frequency Selection
Chart .
* These controls are provided for Channels A,
B, and C, respectively.

Setting gain properly

Protective function included to avoid
malfunction of the unit and/or speakers
due to excessive output, improper use or
improper connection.
When outputting high volume sound etc.,
this function may cut off the output for a
few seconds as a normal function, Output
will be restored when the volume of the
headunit is turned down.
A cut in sound output may indicate
improper setting of the gain volume. To
ensure continuous sound output with the
headunit at a high volume, set the ampli-
fier gain volume to a level appropriate
for the preout maximum output level of
the headunit, so that volume can remain
unchanged and to avoid distortion caused
by signal waveform clipping at the amplifier
input.
Even with correct volume and gain set-
tings, the unit sound may cut out period-
ically. In such cases, please contact an
authorized Pioneer Service Company.

setting.
and headunit output power
If amplifier gain is raised improperly, this will
simply increase distortion, with little increase
in power.
