WARNINGS
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s
negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
Notes:
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently,
consult your JVC car audio dealer.
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more
than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω).
If the maximum power is less than 50 W, change “
AMP GAIN ” setting to
prevent the speakers from being damaged (see
“Menu operations”).
• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of
the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be
careful not to touch it when removing this unit. Heat sink
