This is a 4 channel amplifier including 2
stereo amplifiers in a body. One amplifier is
referred to as amplifier A and the other is
amplifier B. This unit is compatible with a
large variety of systems by combining the
switches and functions described in the
following.
@ INPUT SENSITIVITY control
Set this control according t o the pre-output
level of the center unit connected with this
unit, or to the maximum power output of
the genuine-accessory car stereo.
The sensitivities of amplifiers A and B can
be adjusted independently regardless of the
position of the input selector switch.
Use the diagram on the right as a guide.

This switch allows t o apply high-pass or
low-pass filtering t o the speaker outputs.
0
HPF (High-Pass Filter) position:
The filter outputs the band of higher
frequencies than the frequency set with the
FILTER FREQUENCY control.
OFF position:
The entire bandwidth is output without
filtering.
0
LPF (Low-Pass Filter) position:
The filter outputs the band of lower
frequencies than the frequency set with the
FILTER FREQUENCY control.
@ OPERATION switch
The amplification methods of the signals
input t o amplifiers A and B can be selected
independently according t o the setting of
this switch.
STEREO position:
MONO (Lch) position:
The amplifier can be used as a stereo
amplifier.
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 switch
This switch selects the input method of the
signals t o be amplified by amplifiers A and
6.
A B position:
A position:
Amplifies both of the signals input t o
amplifiers A and 6.
Amplifies only signal input amplifier A with
both amplifiers A and 6.
