Installation and Connection Instructions
- Turn the amplifier level control to its minimum position. Choose a song (OR the right music) that has high dynamic content, according to your preference. Turn the unit up to its highest undistorted output level. If you are lack in test equipment, take note that the undistorted output level occurs between 3/4 to full volume, depending on the quality of your source unit. Listen for any audible distortion.If any audible distortion is detected, reduce the volume of the source unit until output is no longer distorted. Finally, leave the volume control at this position during system tuning.
- Select a dry and well-ventilated location to install the device.
- The device must not be installed in overly exposed location such on the rear shelf, rear seat etc.
- The installation location must be on a stable ground support and suitable for screw holes
Integrated Fuse
- The integrated fuse in the device protects the output voltage and the entire electrical system in case of malfunction. In case of fuse damage, do not replace with higher current fuse.
Switching On/Off
- This device will automatically turn on if a music signal is detected. The device will also automatically turn off if no music signal is received.
