Setting The Gain Properly - Pioneer PREMIER PRS-D2200T Mode D'emploi

A Title (English) Setting the Unit

Setting the Gain properly

• This unit is equipped with a protective function to
prevent malfunction of the unit itself and speakers
from too much output, improper use or improper
connection.
• When outputting sound at high volume etc., this
function will cut off the sound output in a few
seconds. But this is not a malfunction. When you
turn down the volume of the head unit the sound
output will be restored.
• If sound output is cut, the gain control of this unit
may be improperly set. To ensure continuous
sound output at increased volume of the head unit,
set the gain control of the amplifier to a proper
position according to the preout maximum output
level of the head unit. There is no need to
decrease the volume of the head unit and too
much output is controlled.
• If you decrease the volume of the head unit and
set the gain control of the amplifier to the proper
position but still the sound cuts out from time to
time, contact the nearest authorized PIONEER
Service Station.
