If you hear too much noise when using the speaker input terminals, turn the gain control to higher level. 4 En Section Setting the unit Setting gain properly !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. A cut in sound output may indicate improper setting of the gain control.
