Connecting the units
03
! Never cut the insulation of the power supply
to feed power to other equipment. Current ca-
pacity of the wire is limited.
CAUTION
! Never wire the speaker negative cable directly
to ground.
! Never band together multiple speaker's 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 car
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
! The maximum speaker impedance is 4 W.
Please carefully check. Improper connection
to the amplifier may result in malfunction or
personal injury due to burns from overheat-
ing.
For bridged mode for a two-channel amplifier,
with a 4 W load, either wire two 8 W speakers
in parallel, Left + and Right * (Diagram A) or
use a single 4 W speaker. For other amplifiers,
please follow the speaker output connection
diagram for bridging shown on rear: two 8 W
8
En
speakers in parallel for a 4 W load or a single
4 W speaker per channel.
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.

fer output terminal of this unit, and speakers
other than the subwoofer to the speaker output
terminal of this unit.
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, or 4 W to 8 W for two-channel and other
bridge connections.
