85 x 4 4-Channel Trunk Mount Amplifier (120-1977) Operation Faxback Doc. # 16922 TURNING ON THE AMPLIFIER The amplifier automatically turns on whenever you turn your vehicle's ignition switch to ACC or ON. POWER lights when the amplifier is operating. SETTING THE LEVEL CONTROL For the best performance, you can adjust the level of audio signals that enter the amplifier by following these steps. CAUTIONS: When the amplifier's internal temperature reaches 202 degree F, the automatic thermal protection system lowers the amplifier's output power until it cools down. The sound distorts if any output channel shorts. Turn off the amplifier and try to locate the short. To prevent draining the vehicle's battery, do not operate the amplifier using the ignition switch's ACC position for too long after turning off the vehicle's ignition. 1. Turn both LEVEL MIN/MAX controls fully counter clockwise to MIN. NOTE: The right level control adjusts the inputs to CH1 and CH2 (normally the front) and the left level control adjusts the inputs to CH3 and CH4 (normally the rear). 2. Temporarily turn up the autosound system's volume control to about one-third of its full range. CAUTION: Never turn the level controls up any farther than you need to get clear sound at two thirds volume maximum. 3. Turn the left and right LEVEL controls clockwise until you can hear the sound at a comfortable level. 4. Turn up the volume on your autosound system-until the sound begins to distort. Then immediately turn down the volume to the point just below where distortion began. 5. Adjust the level controls until the volume is at the maximum level you want the autosound system to produce. 6. Adjust the autosound system's volume control to a comfortable listening level. USING THE FREQUENCY CROSSOVER X-OVER FREQ On/Off Switch To use the amplifier's crossover function with a subwoofer, push in X-OVER FREQ to On. To use the amplifier without a subwoofer, push and release X-OVER FREQ to Off. X-OVER FREQ Control When you push in X-OVER FREQ to On, the X-OVER FREQ 45 Hz/400 Hz lets you adjust the crossover frequency from 45Hz to 400 Hz for Channels 3 and 4 so you can adjust the sound to compensate for your vehicle's acoustics. NOTE: Since this only controls the 45-400 Hz frequencies, this control is useful only for subwoofers and not your main speakers.
