Precautions

This unit is designed for negative ground 12 V DC operation only. Use speakers with an impedance of 2 to 8 (4 to 8 when used as a bridging amplifier). Do not connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals of the unit. Doing so may damage the active speakers. Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to: high temperatures such as from direct sunlight or hot air from the heater rain or moisture dust or dirt. If your car is parked in direct sunlight and there is a considerable rise in temperature inside the car, allow the unit to cool down before use. When installing the unit horizontally, be sure not to cover the fins with the floor carpet etc. If this unit is placed too close to the car audio unit or antenna, interference may occur. In this case, relocate the amplifier away from the car audio unit or antenna. If no power is being supplied to the car audio unit, check the connections. This power amplifier employs a protection circuit* to protect the transistors and speakers if the amplifier malfunctions. Do not attempt to test the protection circuits by covering the heat sink or connecting improper loads. Do not use the unit on a weak battery as its optimum performance depends on a good power supply. For safety reasons, keep your car audio unit volume moderate so that you can still hear sounds outside your car.

Fuse Replacement

If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching the amperage stated above the fuse holder. Never use a fuse with an amperage rating exceeding the one supplied with the unit as this could damage the unit.

Installation

Before Installation
Mount the unit either inside the trunk or under a seat. Choose the mounting location carefully so the unit will not interfere with the normal movements of the driver and it will not be exposed to direct sunlight or hot air from the heater. Do not install the unit under the floor carpet, where the heat dissipation from the unit will be considerably impaired. First, place the unit where you plan to install it, and mark the positions of the four screw holes on the surface of the mounting board (not supplied). Then drill the holes approximately 3 mm (1/8 in) in diameter and mount the unit onto the board with the supplied mounting screws. The supplied mounting screws are 14 mm (9/16 in) long. Therefore, make sure that the mounting board is thicker than 14 mm (9/16 in). Note

*1 If you have the factory original or some other car audio unit without a remote output on the amplifier, connect the remote input terminal (REMOTE) to the accessory power supply. In High level input connection, car audio unit can also be activated without need for REMOTE connection. However, this function is not guaranteed for all car audio units. *1 Si vous disposez du modle dorigine ou dun autre autoradio dont lamplificateur ne comporte pas de sortie de tlcommande, raccordez la borne dentre de tlcommande (REMOTE) la prise dalimentation accessoires. Dans une connexion dentre haut niveau, lautoradio peut galement tre activ sans raccordement REMOTE. Toutefois, cette fonction nest pas garantie pour tous les autoradios. *1 Si dispone del sistema de audio para automvil original de fbrica o de otro sistema sin una salida remota para el amplificador, conecte el terminal de entrada remota (REMOTE) al suministro de alimentacin auxiliar. En la conexin de entrada de alto nivel, el sistema de audio para automvil tambin puede activarse sin necesidad de conexin REMOTE. No obstante, esta funcin no se garantiza en todos los sistemas de audio para automvil.

Cautions

Before making any connections, disconnect the ground terminal of the car battery to avoid short circuits. Be sure to use speakers with an adequate power rating. If you use small capacity speakers, they may be damaged. This is a Phase-Inverted Amplifier. Do not connect the # terminal of the speaker system to the car chassis, and do not connect the # terminal of the right speaker with that of the left speaker. Install the input and output cords away from the power supply wire as running them close together can generate some interference noise. This unit is a high powered amplifier. Therefore, it may not perform to its full potential if used with the speaker cords supplied with the car. If your car is equipped with a computer system for navigation or some other purpose, do not remove the ground wire from the car battery. If you disconnect the wire, the computer memory may be erased. To avoid short circuits when making connections, disconnect the +12 V power supply wire until all the other wires have been connected.
