PA 5AV Installation and Setup Manual
The PA 5AV is extremely versatile as it offers both RCA audio inputs and RCA audio outputs. It can
be connected two different ways depending on your need. When connected to the AUX input on a
car stereo, it allows the connection of a video player or TV to a factory stereo, or it can be installed
between a stereo and an amplifier through the RCA’s, which is perfect for Limo or Boat applications
where a stereo and amplifier are already installed.
