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.

and headunit output power

If amplifier gain is raised improperly, this will 
simply increase distortion, with little increase 
in power.

If the signal waveform is distorted due to high 
output, even if the amplifier gain is raised, the 
output power will change only slightly.
