Notes
! If speaker wires with an RCA pin cord from a
headunit are connected to this amplifier, the
amplifier will automatically turn on when the
headunit is turned on. When the headunit is
turned off, the amplifier turns off automati-
cally. This function may not work with some
headunits. In such cases, please use a sys-
