The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it at a safe levela level that lets the sound
come through clearly without annoying blar-
ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
comfort level adapts to higher volumes of
sound, so what sounds normal can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
! Set your volume control at a low setting.
! Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without dis-
tortion.
! Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
! Do not turn up the volume so high that you
cant hear whats around you.
! Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
! Do not use headphones while operating a
boat; the use of headphones may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many area-
s.

Connecting the units
! Never wire the speaker negative cable directly
to ground.
! Never band together multiple speakers nega-
tive cables.
! If the system remote control wire of the ampli-
fier is connected to the power terminal via the
ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will re-
main on with the ignition whether the stereo
is on or off, which may exhaust battery if the
engine is at rest or idling.
! Install and route the separately sold battery
wire as far as possible from the speaker wires.
Install and route the separately sold battery
wire, ground wire, speaker wires and the am-
plifier as far away as possible from the anten-
na, antenna cable and tuner.
About bridged mode
! Do not install or use this amplifier by wiring
speakers rated at 2 W (or lower) in parallel to
achieve a 1 W (or lower) bridged mode (Dia-
gram B).
Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating
could result from improper bridging. The am-
plifier surface could also become hot to the
touch and minor burns could result.
To properly install or use a bridged mode and
achieve a 2 W load, wire two 4 W speakers in
parallel with Left + and Right * (Diagram A)
or use a single 2 W speaker.
In addition, refer to the speaker instruction
manual for information on the correct connec-
tion procedure.
! For any further enquiries, contact your local
authorized Pioneer dealer or customer
service.
About suitable
specification of speaker
Ensure speakers conform to the following
standards, otherwise there is a risk of fire,
smoke or damage. Speaker impedance is 2 W

Connecting the units
! Never wire the speaker negative cable directly
to ground.
! Never band together multiple speakers nega-
tive cables.
! If the system remote control wire of the ampli-
fier is connected to the power terminal via the
ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will re-
main on with the ignition whether the stereo
is on or off, which may exhaust battery if the
engine is at rest or idling.
! Install and route the separately sold battery
wire as far as possible from the speaker wires.
Install and route the separately sold battery
wire, ground wire, speaker wires and the am-
plifier as far away as possible from the anten-
na, antenna cable and tuner.
About bridged mode
! Do not install or use this amplifier by wiring
speakers rated at 2 W (or lower) in parallel to
achieve a 1 W (or lower) bridged mode (Dia-
gram B).
Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating
could result from improper bridging. The am-
plifier surface could also become hot to the
touch and minor burns could result.
To properly install or use a bridged mode and
achieve a 2 W load, wire two 4 W speakers in
parallel with Left + and Right * (Diagram A)
or use a single 2 W speaker.
In addition, refer to the speaker instruction
manual for information on the correct connec-
tion procedure.
! For any further enquiries, contact your local
authorized Pioneer dealer or customer
service.
About suitable
specification of speaker
Ensure speakers conform to the following
standards, otherwise there is a risk of fire,
smoke or damage. Speaker impedance is 2 W
to 8 W,or4W to 8 W for two-channel and other
bridge connections.

1 FREQ (cut off frequency) control
Cut off frequency selectable from 40 Hz to
500 Hz if the LPF/HPF select switch is set to
LPF or HPF.
2 GAIN (gain) control
Adjusting gain controls CHANNEL A (chan-
nel A) and CHANNEL B (channel B) helps
align the stereo output to the Pioneer ampli-
fier. Default setting is the NORMAL posi-
tion.
If the output remains low, even when the
stereo volume is turned up, turn the con-
trols to a lower level. If distortion occurs
when the stereo volume is turned up, turn
these controls to a higher level.
! If using only one input plug, set the gain
controls for speaker outputs A and B to
the same position.
! For use with an RCA equipped stereo
(standard output of 500 mV), set to the
NORMAL position. For use with an RCA
equipped Pioneer stereo, with maximum
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 position.

Setting gain properly
! Protective function included to prevent
malfunction of the unit and/or speakers
due to excessive output, improper use or
improper connection.
! When outputting high volume sound etc.,
this function cuts off the output for a few
seconds as a normal function, but output
is restored when the volume of the head
unit is turned down.
! A cut in sound output may indicate impro-
per setting of the gain control. To ensure
continuous sound output with the head
unit at a high volume, set amplifier gain
control to a level appropriate for the preout
maximum output level of the head unit, so
that volume can remain unchanged and to
control excess output.
! Despite correct volume and gain settings,
the unit sound still cuts out periodically. In
such cases, please contact the nearest
authorized Pioneer Service Station.

Relationship between amplifier gain
and head unit output power
If amplifier gain is raised improperly, this will
simply increase distortion, with little increase
in power.

About bridged mode
! Do not install or use this amplifier by wiring
speakers rated at 2 W (or lower) in parallel to
achieve a 1 W (or lower) bridged mode (Dia-
gram B).
Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating
could result from improper bridging. The am-
plifier surface could also become hot to the
touch and minor burns could result.
To properly install or use a bridged mode and
achieve a 2 W load, wire two 4 W speakers in
parallel with Left + and Right * (Diagram A)
or use a single 2 W speaker.
In addition, refer to the speaker instruction
manual for information on the correct connec-
tion procedure.
! For any further enquiries, contact your local
authorized Pioneer dealer or customer
service.
About suitable
specification of speaker
Ensure speakers conform to the following
standards, otherwise there is a risk of fire,

Setting gain properly
! Protective function included to prevent
malfunction of the unit and/or speakers
due to excessive output, improper use or
improper connection.
! When outputting high volume sound etc.,
this function cuts off the output for a few
seconds as a normal function, but output
is restored when the volume of the head
unit is turned down.
! A cut in sound output may indicate impro-
per setting of the gain control. To ensure
continuous sound output with the head
unit at a high volume, set amplifier gain
control to a level appropriate for the preout
maximum output level of the head unit, so
that volume can remain unchanged and to
control excess output.
! Despite correct volume and gain settings,
the unit sound still cuts out periodically. In
such cases, please contact the nearest
authorized Pioneer Service Station.

screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-
portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-
bration of the boat, which can result in fire.
! Make sure that wires do not get caught in the
sliding mechanism or touch the legs of a per-
son in the boat as short-circuit may result.
! When drilling to install the amplifier, always
confirm no parts are behind the panel and
protect all cables and important equipment
(e.g. cables, wiring, hoses, and modules) from
damage.
CAUTION
! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-
fier, ensure the following during installation:
Allow adequate space above the amplifier
for proper ventilation.
Do not cover the amplifier.

control wire (sold separately). If multiple am-
plifiers are to be connected together synchro-
nously, connect the head unit and all
amplifiers via the system remote control wire.
! This amplifier automatically selects an input
signal mode between the RCA level and the
speaker level by detecting an input signal.

ground wire to the boat body.
! Recommended wires size (AWG: American
Wire Gauge) is as follows. The battery wire,
the ground wire and the optional direct
ground wire must be same size.
! Use a wire of 12 AWG to 16 AWG wire for
the speaker wire.
1 Route battery wire from engine com-
partment to the boat interior.
! When drilling a cable pass-thru into a bulk
head or barrier wall, route the cable
through carefully and seal the hole to pre-
vent fumes from seeping from engine com-
partment to other areas.
After completing all other amplifier connec-
tions, finally connect the battery wire terminal
of the amplifier to the positive + battery term-
inal.

WARNING
! To ensure proper installation, use the supplied
parts in the manner specified. If any parts
other than those supplied are used, they may
damage internal parts of the amplifier, or be-
come loose causing the amplifier to shut
down.
! Do not install in:
Places where injury could occur if the boat
stops suddenly.
Places where it may interfere with the
boat's operator.
! Install tapping screws in such a way that the
screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-
portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-
bration of the boat, which can result in fire.
! Make sure that wires do not get caught in the
sliding mechanism or touch the legs of a per-
son in the boat as short-circuit may result.
! When drilling to install the amplifier, always
confirm no parts are behind the panel and
protect all cables and important equipment
(e.g. cables, wiring, hoses, and modules) from
damage.
CAUTION
! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-
fier, ensure the following during installation:
Allow adequate space above the amplifier
for proper ventilation.
Do not cover the amplifier.
! Place all cables away from hot places, such
as near the heater outlet.
! The optimal installation location differs de-
pending on the boat model. Secure the ampli-
fier at a sufficiently rigid location.
! Check all connections and systems before
final installation.

La protection de votre ouïe
est entre vos mains
Pour assurer le rendement optimal de votre
matériel et plus important encore la protec-
tion de votre ouïe, réglez le volume à un niveau
raisonnable. Pour ne pas altérer votre sens de
la perception, le son doit être clair mais ne
produire aucun vacarme et être exempt de
toute distorsion. Votre ouïe peut vous jouer
des tours. Avec le temps, votre système auditif
peut en effet sadapter à des volumes supéri-
eurs, et ce qui vous semble un « niveau de
confort normal » pourrait au contraire être ex-
cessif et contribuer à endommager votre ouïe
de façon permanente. Le réglage de votre ma-
tériel à un volume sécuritaire AVANT que votre
ouïe sadapte vous permettra de mieux vous
protéger.

Réglage correct du gain
! Fonction de protection incluse pour éviter
tout dysfonctionnement de lappareil et/ou
des haut-parleurs lié à une sortie excessive
ou à une utilisation ou une connexion in-
correcte.
! Lors de lémission de sons à haut volume,
etc., cette fonction coupe lémission pen-
dant quelques secondes. Lémission est ce-
pendant rétablie une fois le volume de
lappareil central baissé.
! Une coupure de la sortie son peut indiquer
un réglage incorrect de la commande de
gain. Afin de garantir une émission sonore
continue lorsque le volume de lappareil
central est élevé, réglez la commande de
gain de lamplificateur à un niveau adapté
au niveau de sortie maximal de la sortie
préamp de lappareil central de manière à
ce que le volume ne nécessite aucune mo -
dification et à ce que les sorties excessives
soient contrôlées.
! Le son de lappareil est régulièrement
coupé alors que les réglages du gain et du
volume sont corrects. Dans de tels cas,
veuillez contacter le Centre dentretien
agréé par Pioneer le plus proche.
Commande de gain de lappareil
Niveau de préamp : 2 V (standard : 500 mV)
Niveau de préamp : 4 V
Lillustration ci-dessus représente le réglage
de gain NORMAL.
Relation entre le gain de
lamplificateur et la puissance de
sortie de lappareil central
Si le gain de lamplificateur est augmenté de
manière incorrecte, les distorsions augmen-
tent sans que la puissance soit beaucoup plus
importante.
Forme de signal lors de lémission à
volume élevé avec la commande de
gain de lamplificateur
Si la forme de signal est distordue à cause
dune sortie élevée, la puissance de sortie ne
sera que légèrement modifiée même en aug-
mentant le gain de lamplificateur.

Vers le jack dentrée RCA de cet appareil
Remarques
! Si les fils dentrée des haut-parleurs dun ap-
pareil central sont connectés à cet amplifica-
teur, lamplificateur se met automatiquement
en service lorsque lappareil central est mis
en service. Lorsque lappareil central est mis
hors service, lamplificateur se met automati-
quement hors service. Cette fonction peut ne
pas fonctionner sur certains appareils cen-
traux. Dans ce cas, utilisez le fil dune télé-
commande du système (vendu séparément).
Si plusieurs amplificateurs sont connectés de
manière synchrone, reliez lappareil central et
tous les amplificateurs via le fil de la télécom-
mande du système.
! Cet amplificateur sélectionne automatique-
ment un mode de signal dentrée entre le ni-
veau RCA et le niveau de haut-parleur en
détectant un signal dentrée.
Connexions de bornes sans
soudure
! Le fil pouvant se desserrer avec le temps, il
doit être inspecté régulièrement et resserré
si nécessaire.
! Ne soudez et ne pliez pas les extrémités
des fils tordus.
! Lors du serrage, veillez à ne pas coincer la
gaine isolante du fil.
! Utilisez la clé hexagonale fournie pour ser-
rer et desserrer la vis de la borne de lampli-
ficateur et pour serrer fermement le fil.
Veillez à ne pas trop serrer la vis, faute de
quoi le fil pourrait être endommagé.

AVERTISSEMENT
Si le fil de la batterie nest pas fermement fixé à la
borne à laide des vis de la borne, des risques de
surchauffe, danomalie de fonctionnement et de
blessures, brûlures mineures incluses, existent.
! Utilisez toujours le fil de la batterie et le fil
de terre recommandés, qui sont vendus sé-
parément. Connectez le fil de la batterie di-
rectement sur la borne positive (+) de la
batterie du bateau et le fil de terre sur le
corps du bateau.
! La taille de fils recommandée (AWG : Ame-
rican Wire Gauge) est la suivante. Le fil de
la batterie, le fil de terre et le fil de terre di-
recte en option doivent être de la même
taille.
! Utilisez un fil de 12 AWG à 16 AWG pour les
haut-parleurs.
1 Acheminez le fil de la batterie du
compartiment moteur jusquàlintérieur du
bateau.
! Lors du perçage dun trou de passage des
câbles dans une cloison ou un mur coupe-
feu, faites passer le câble avec précaution
et scellez le trou pour empêcher les vapeurs
de séchapper du compartiment moteur
vers dautres zones.
Une fois toutes les autres connexions de lam-
plificateur effectuées, connectez la borne du
fil de batterie de lamplificateur à la borne po-
sitive + de la batterie.

Avant dinstaller
lamplificateur
AVERTISSEMENT
! Afin de garantir une installation correcte, utili-
sez les pièces fournies de la manière indi-
quée. Si vous utilisez des pièces autres que
celles fournies, celles-ci risquent dendomma-
ger des pièces internes de lamplificateur ou
peuvent se desserrer, ce qui entraînerait larrêt
de lamplificateur.
! Ne procédez pas à linstallation dans :
Des emplacements pouvant entraîner des
blessures en cas darrêt soudain du ba-
teau.
Des emplacements il peut gêner lopé-
rateur du bateau.
! Installez les vis autotaraudeuses de sorte que
la pointe des vis nentre en contact avec
aucun fil. Cela est important pour éviter toute
coupure des fils par les vibrations du bateau,
ce qui pourrait entraîner un incendie.
! Assurez-vous que les fils ne sont pas coincés
dans le mécanisme coulissant ou ne touchent
pas les jambes dune personne dans le ba-
teau, car cela pourrait entraîner un court-cir-
cuit.
! Lorsque vous percez pour installer lamplifica-
teur, vérifiez toujours quil ny a aucune pièce
derrière le panneau et que tous les câbles et
équipements importants (câbles, câblage,
tuyaux et modules par exemple) sont protégés
des dommages.
PRÉCAUTION
! Afin de garantir une dissipation de la chaleur
correcte au niveau de lamplificateur, vérifiez
les points suivants lors de linstallation :
Laissez suffisamment de place au-dessus
de lamplificateur pour permettre une ven-
tilation correcte.
Ne couvrez pas lamplificateur.
! Placez les câbles à lécart de tous les endroits
chauds, par exemple les sorties de chauffage.
! Lemplacement dinstallation optimal varie en
fonction du modèle de bateau. Fixez lamplifi-
cateur à un emplacement suffisamment ri-
gide.
