Problem: Midrange speakers “pop” with loud passages. Solution: High-Pass Frequency Control is set too low. Gain Controls on amplifiers are set incorrectly. Reduce the gain setting on high frequency amplifier. Problem: One channel does not operate. Solution: Swap left and right connections at the source unit. If the problem trades sides in the vehicle, then the source unit is the defective. - Page 16 661 W. Redondo Beach Blvd. Gardena, CA 90247 1-800-GO-CLARION www.clarion-usa.com MCD360-10 Rev.1 (02/00)
