User manual PIONEER PRS-D1200M

[. . . ] Thank you for purchasing this PIONEER product. Before attempting operation, be sure to read this manual. If you want to dispose this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling. [. . . ] Otherwise the protection circuit may fail to work when it should. Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply wire to tap from the wire. Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns. Do not ground the speaker wire directly or connect a negative (­) lead wire for several speakers. This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. If the car stereo is kept on for a long time while the engine is at rest or idling, the battery may go dead. Turn the car stereo off when the engine is at rest or idling. If the system remote control wire of the amplifier is connected to the power terminal through the ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will always be on when the ignition is on-- regardless of whether the car stereo is on or off. Because of this, the battery could go dead if the engine is at rest or idling. DO NOT connect a subwoofer with a lower impedance than specified in the "Connecting the Unit" section. Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating could result from a non-specified connection. The amplifier surface could also become hot to the touch and minor burns could result. Connect either of three subwoofers to the amplifier; 1: a subwoofer with a 420 W or larger nominal input and an impedance 4 , 2: a subwoofer with a 600 W or larger nominal input and an impedance 2 or 3: a subwoofer with a 600 W or larger nominal input and an impedance 1 . If the nominal input and impedance are out of the above ranges, the subwoofer may catch fire, emit smoke or become damaged. Install and route the separately sold battery wire as far away as possible from the speaker wires. Install and route the separately sold battery wire, ground wire, speaker wires and the amplifier as far away as possible from the antenna, antenna cable and tuner. This diagram shows connections using external output. In the case of connecting the external output from a car stereo to an RCA input, use the jack used for fullrange output. This is because the LPF of the amplifier cannot be turned OFF. If this jack cannot be used, connect the subwoofer output jack to the RCA input. When you connect with speaker output, connections defer from the diagram. [. . . ] To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified. If any parts other than the supplied ones are used, they may damage internal parts of the amplifier, or they may become loose causing the amplifier to shut down. Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns. [. . . ]
