- SETTING THE UNIT

If the sound is too low, even when the volume of the car stereo used along with this power amplifier is turned up, turn gain control on the back of the power amplifier clockwise. If the sound distorts when the volume is turned up, turn the gain control counter-clockwise.

· Set the gain control to "NORMAL" when this amplifier is connected to a Pioneer car stereo with RCA output jacks. If the sound is too low or distorts, adjust the gain control.

BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch (ES and EW models)
If you hear a beat while listening to an AM broadcast with your car stereo, change the BFC switch using a small screwdriver.

The power amplifier is basically a twochannel/one-channel bridgeable amplifier, but three channels can be achieved by combining the stereo and mono modes using inductors and capacitors.

· The inductor (L1 or L2 in the diagram) acts as a low-pass filter. The capacitor (C1 or C2 in the diagram) acts as a highpass filter. The inductor (L) shall be used on the woofer/sub-woofer, and that a capacitor (C) shall be used on the high/mid-high. · Remember when bridging an amplifier it will see only half of the original speaker impedance. Therefore, you must use speakers that have ratings of 4 ohms or higher. If you use speakers that have lower impedance ratings it may cause damage to the amplifier. · When the inductors and capacitors are connected to the speaker wires, secure or solder them so they cannot be pulled loose. Tape or use heat shrink on the joints to prevent short circuits.
