The unit is a 5-channel amplifier incorporating 2
stereo amplifiers and 1 monaural amplifier in a
single body.
The stereo amplifier on one side is called amplifier
A, while the one on the other side is amplifier B.
The monaural amplifier is called the amplifier SUB.
This unit is compatible with a large variety of
systems by combining the switches and functions
described in the following.
1 Fuse (25 A ´ 2)
2 Power control terminal
3 Battery terminal
4 Ground terminal
5 Amplifier A/B speaker output
terminals
• Stereo Connections:
When you wish to use the unit as a stereo
amplifier, stereo connections are used.
• Bridged Connections:
When you wish to use the unit as a high-
output monaural amplifier, bridged
connections are used. (Make connections to
the LEFT channel (+) and the RIGHT channel
(-) SPEAKER OUTPUT terminals.)
6 Amplifier SUB speaker output
terminal
As this unit accepts speakers with a minimum
impedance of 2 ohms, connect speakers with
2-ohm or higher impedance to these terminals.
7 Speaker level input terminals

Again, even without a power control signal, the
power is switched ON/OFF automatically by
the speaker signal.
8 HPF(High-Pass Filter) switch
When this switch is set to 80 Hz or 150 Hz,
frequencies below the setting value will be cut.
9 INPUT SELECTOR (A/AB) switch
This switch toggles the input signal of amplifier
B.
• A position:
The input for terminal A is output from
amplifiers A and B.
• AB position:
The input for terminal A is output from amplifier
A, while the input for terminal B is output from
amplifier B.
0 INPUT SENSITIVITY control
Set this control according to the pre-output
level of the center unit connected with this
unit, or to the maximum power output of the
genuine-accessory car stereo.
Use the diagram on the right as a guide.
The sensitivities of amplifiers A, B and SUB can
be adjusted independently regardless of the
position of the input selector switch.
NOTE
For the pre-output level or the maximum power
output, refer to the "Specifications" in the
instruction manual of the center unit.

$ OPERATION switch
This switch is used to select the operation
mode of the amplifier.
• STEREO position:
The amplifier can be used as a stereo amplifier.
• MONO (Lch) position:
Amplifies the signal input from the left side
only. Set to this position and make bridged
connections to use as a high-power monaural
amplifier. (The input right signal is not output.)
% INPUT SELECTOR (AB/SUB) switch
This switch toggles the input signal of amplifier
SUB.
• AB position:
The input for terminals A and B input is mixed
and output from amplifier SUB.
NOTE
The input signal varies according to the setting
For safe installation, read "Installation procedure" before starting work.
