Protective function included to prevent malfunction of the unit and/or speakers due to excessive output, improper use or improper connection. , this function cuts off the output for a few seconds as a normal function, but output is restored when the volume of the head unit is turned down. 4 En Section Setting the unit !A cut in sound output may indicate improper setting of the gain control. To ensure continuous sound output with the head unit at a high volume, set amplifier gain control to a level appropriate for the preout maximum output level of the head unit, so that volume can remain unchanged and to control excess output. Despite correct volume and gain settings, the unit sound still cuts out periodically. in such cases , please contact the nearest authorized Pioneer Service Station. Gain control of this unit Preout level: 2 V (Standard: 500 mV) Preout level: 4 V 02 English If the signal waveform is distorted due to high output, even if the amplifier gain is raised, the output power will change only slightly.
