The Safety of Your Ears is in

Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing

it at a safe level—a 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

distortion.

 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

can’t hear what’s 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 areas.

Before connecting/installing

SGDÐ@LOKHÆDQ

WARNING

 To prevent fire hazard, the heatsink should never

be covered (such as by paper, material, etc.).

 This unit is for boats with a 12 V battery and

negative grounding. Before installing, check

the battery voltage.

 When installing this unit, make sure to con-

nect the ground wire first. Ensure that the

ground wire is properly connected to the neg-

ative ground circuit of the boat. Use adequate

gauge, marine grade electrical wire that has

been properly terminated for marine use to

make a direct connection to the negative bus

bar or negative ground distribution system.

Do not attempt to ground the amplifier using

the mounting screws.

 Use fused marine grade battery wire (sold

separately) of adequate gauge that has been

properly terminated for marine use to make

a direct connection to the positive bus bar or

positive distribution system.

 If the screw for the ground wire loos-

DMRÐNQÐE@KKRÐNTSÐHSÐBNTKCÐQDRTKSÐHMÐÆQDÐ

RLNJDÐNQÐL@KETMBSHNM

 Always use a fuse of the rating prescribed.

The use of an improper fuse could result in

overheating and smoke, damage to the prod-

uct, and injury, including burns.

 Check all electrical and signal connections

(power, ground, amplifier, speaker, etc.) if

amplifier fuse or battery wire fuse blows.

Resolve any loose or short circuited connec-

tions, then replace the blown fuse with an

identical value equivalent.

 Always install the amplifier on an even sur-

face. Do not install the amplifier on a surface

that is uneven or has a protrusion. Doing so

could result in malfunction.

 When installing the amplifier, do not allow

parts such as extra screws to get caught

between the amplifier and the boat. Doing so

could cause malfunction.

 In the event of any abnormality, the power

supply to the amplifier may cut off to pre-

vent equipment malfunction. If this occurs,

switch the system power off and check all

electrical and signal connections (power,

ground, amplifier, speaker, etc.) for loose or

short circuited connections. If you are unable

to determine the cause, please contact your

dealer.

 Always disconnect the negative  terminal

of the battery before making any electrical or

signal connections to avoid the risk of electric

shock or short circuit during installation.

En(3/10)

About the protection function

This product has a protection function. If this

product detects something abnormal, the Power/

Protect indicator will turn red and the operation

of amplifier will be stopped.

Possible causes include:

— When the temperature inside the product

becomes high

— When speaker output detects an abnormality

— When the supply voltage is out of

specification

Important (Serial number)

The serial number is located on the bottom of

this unit. Be sure to record this number on the

enclosed warranty card before installation.

 Do not attempt to disassemble or modify

this unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric

shock or other malfunction. Damage or

defects resulting from alterations or modifica-

tions not authorized in writing by Pioneer are

excluded from limited warranty coverage.

 Do not install the amplifier in a location

exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat,

humidity or dust.

 While this amplifier is designed to be water-re-

sistant, it should never be submerged under

water or subjected to high-pressure water

spray.

 Install the amplifier in a dry and well-ventilated

environment,

where other equipment will not

interfere with it.

 When drilling holes in the chassis for instal-

lation, take precautions so as not to contact,

damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or

electrical wiring. Failure to take such precau-

tions may result in fire.

 To ensure proper heat dissipation of the

amplifier, ensure the following during

installation:

— Allow adequate space above the amplifier

for proper ventilation.

— Do not mount the amplifier in the engine

compartment or in any areas of extreme

heat.

— Do not cover the amplifier.

Right side

SPEAKER SETTING switch

Switch the output power according to the

connected speaker. When a subwoofer

is connected, select MONO. When a full

range speaker is connected, select 2CH.

2 GAIN volume

Adjusting gain volume CH A (channel

A) and CH B (channel B) helps align the

headunit output to the Pioneer ampli-

fier. Default setting is the NOR (normal)

position.

If the output remains low even when the

headunit volume is turned up, turn the

volume to a lower level (clockwise). If dis-

tortion occurs when the headunit volume is

turned up, turn these volumes to a higher

level (counterclockwise).

 If using only one input plug, set the gain

volumes 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

NOR (normal) position. For use with an

RCA equipped Pioneer headunit with

maximum output of 4 V or more, adjust

level to match that of the stereo output.

 For use with an RCA equipped headunit

with output of 4 V, set to the H (High)

position.

FREQ (Hz) (cutoff frequency)

The cutoff frequency is selectable from

50 Hz to 500 Hz when the LPF/HPF select

switch is set to either LPF or HPF. For more

information, refer to

the Precise Frequency

Switch the settings based on the con-

nected speaker.

 When a subwoofer is connected:

Select LPF. This eliminates high range

frequencies and limits output to only

low range frequencies.

 When a full range speaker is connected:

Select HPF or OFF. HPF eliminates

low range frequencies and limits

output to only high frequencies. OFF

bypasses the LPF/HPF and outputs all

frequencies.

5 INPUT SENS switch

Select RCA for RCA level input signals or SP

(Speaker) for Speaker level input signals.

6 INPUT SELECT switch

Select 2CH for two-channel input or 4CH

for four–channel input.

Setting gain properly

 A protective function is included to avoid

malfunction of the unit and/or speakers

due to excessive output, improper use or

improper connection.

 When outputting high volume sound etc.,

this function may cut off the output for a

few seconds as a normal function. Output

will be restored when the volume of the

headunit is turned down.

 A cut in sound output may indicate

improper setting of the gain volume. To

ensure continuous sound output with the

headunit at a high volume, set the ampli-

fier gain volume to a level appropriate

for the preout maximum output level of

the headunit, so that volume can remain

unchanged and to avoid distortion caused

by signal waveform clipping at the amplifier

input.

 Even with correct volume and gain set-

tings, the unit sound may cut out period-

ically. In such cases, please contact an

authorized Pioneer Service Company.

WARNING

 To ensure proper installation, use the sup-

plied parts in the manner specified. If any

parts other than those supplied are used, they

may damage internal parts of the amplifier or

become loose, causing the amplifier to shut

down.

 Do not install:

— On surfaces that could become loose

if the boat stops suddenly (chassis

recommended).

— In places where it may interfere with the

boat’s operation.

 Install tapping screws in such a way that the

screw tip does not touch any wire. This is

important to prevent wires from being cut by

vibration 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

person in the boat as short-circuit may result.

CAUTION

 Place all cables away from hot places, such

as near the heater outlet.

 The optimal installation location differs

depending on the boat model. Secure the

amplifier at a sufficiently rigid location.

Following our response to any initial request to Customer Support, should a dispute arise between you and Pioneer, Pioneer makes available its Complaint

Resolution Program to resolve the dispute. The Complaint Resolution Program is available to you without charge. In the U.S.A., you are required to use the

Complaint Resolution Program before you exercise any rights under, or seek any remedies, created by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act but may be

entitled to file suit under state law without using the Complaint Resolution Program. To use the Complaint Resolution Program, call 1-800-421-1404 and

explain to the customer service representative the problem you are experiencing, steps you have taken to have the product repaired during the warranty

period, and the name of the authorized Pioneer Dealer from which the Pioneer product was purchased. After the complaint has been explained to the

representative, a resolution number will be issued. Within forty (40) days of receiving your complaint, Pioneer will investigate the dispute and will either: (1)

respond to your complaint in writing informing you what action Pioneer will take, and in what time period, to resolve the dispute; or (2) respond to your

complaint in writing informing you why Pioneer will not take any action.

Pioneer ne garantit aucun des produits énumérés ci-dessus s’ils sont utilisés à des fins commerciales ou professionnelles, ou dans toute

application industrielle ou commerciale. Cette garantie ne s’applique pas si le produit a été soumis à une puissance nominale excédant celle
