User manual PIONEER PRS-D1200SPL

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] 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 Speaker Wires" section. Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating could result from a nonspecified 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 500 W or larger nominal input and an impedance 4 , 2: a subwoofer with a 1 000 W or larger nominal input and an impedance 2 or 3: a subwoofer with a 1 200 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. Cords for this product and those for other products may be different colors even if they have the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function. 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. Ground wire, Terminal (sold separately) The ground wires must be same size as the battery wire. The battery wire, the ground wire and the optional direct Battery ground wire must be same size. After making all other connections Fuse (200 A) at the amplifier, connect the batEach amplifier must be SEPAtery wire terminal of the amplifier RATELY fused at 200 A. Connect this jack and the bass boost remote Car stereo with control with the bass boost remote control wire. The female terminal can be connected to the auto-antenna relay control terminal. [. . . ] Do not install the amplifier on unstable places such as the spare tire board. The best location for installation differs with the car model and installation location. Make temporary connections first and check that the amplifier and the system operate properly. After installing the amplifier, confirm that the spare tire, jack and tools can be easily removed.
