Output and power connector

1. FM Antenna: Input to connect the FM antenna.

2. Connector   for speakers: To connect the speakers.
   See connection diagram on page 08.
   For connections in STEREO mode, the minimum impedance is 2 ohms in each channel; in BRIDGE mode, it is 4 ohms.
   For loudspeaker associations, the impedance to be considered is the resultant impedance.

3. Power Connector: The (+) wires of the connector must be connected to the positive pole of the battery through a cable with a minimum gauge of 4mm². The wires (-) of the connector must be properly connected to the negative pole of the battery using a cable with the same gauge as the positive cable. See connection diagram on page 07.
   CAUTION
   Before making any connections to the power terminals, make sure that the (-) negative of the vehicle’s battery is disconnected.
   *It is necessary to join the 2 yellow wires (Batt+) and join the 2 black wires (GND)
   Do not use the vehicle’s original wiring. Make a new installation directly from the battery.
   It is recommended to use a 30A fuse or circuit breaker near the battery

4. Low-power mode protection fuse: It has 2 protection fuses, the external 15A (low-power mode) and the internal 30A (high-power mode).

5 e 6- Crossover Front and Rear

SELECTOR IN POSITION – FULL
Amplifies the entire audio range, responding from 10Hz to 20KHz. We normally use this function when we have an external crossover in the system.

SELECTOR IN POSITION – HPF – (HIGH PASS)
It amplifies signals from 90Hz, this type of function is used for reproduction in medium bass and medium speakers, a great example are the two-way kits and 6×9 speakers.

SELECTOR IN POSITION – LPF – (LOW PASS)
It amplifies only the sub bass and bass, as the response is limited to 90Hz (-12dB/8th), ideal cutoff for subwoofers.

LINE OUT: The LINE OUT output allows you to send the audio signal (not amplified) to other equipment, such as an amplifier or active subwoofer.

Panel installation

Position the removal keys as shown in the image below to remove the plastic strap from the product.
ATTENTION: The front of the Amplayer is not removable.

Install the plastic strap in the space intended for installing the radio on the vehicle’s dashboard.
Amplayer may not be compatible with other plastic or metal straps. Use the strap provided for correct locking on the panel.

Having completed the steps above, it is now time to install Amplayer on your vehicle.
See on the next page, the correct way for installation.

Amplayer cleaning

Cleaning the AMPLAYER panel can be done with a soft cloth, to avoid scratches, stains or damage to it.
NEVER use chemical, abrasive or cleaning products.

Installation

CAUTION

CAUTION: All connections to power supply, input and output connectors must be carried out only with amplifier off.

Recommended wire gauge & fuse

Positive / negative power supply cable ____ 4mm²
ACCcable____0.75mm²
Cable P. Antenna / Remote____0.75mm²
Fuse or circuit breaker protection____20A

Calculated considering a maximum length of 4m. Distance greater than this, you will need to increase the cable gauges.

CAUTION

Before making any connections to the power terminals, make sure that the (-) negative of the vehicle’s battery is disconnected.
*It is necessary to join the 2 yellow wires (Batt+) and join the 2 black wires (GND).
Do not use the vehicle’s original wiring. Make a new installation directly from the battery.
It is essential to use a 20A fuse or circuit breaker near the battery.
The use of wiring with a smaller gauge than recommended causes loss of power and overheating of the wiring.
Observe the polarity, never reverse the power cables, under risk of damage to the Player.

**** The installation of this product must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Example of stereo connection 2 Ohms per channel

Bridge connection example 4 Ohms per channel

IMPORTANT: Unused wires must be insulated.

Bluetooth

When selecting the Bluetooth function (identied with “bt”on the display), the Player waits for a Bluetooth connection. Search through your cell phone and make the pairing.
– To connect to a new device, disconnect the current one and re-pair Bluetooth.
Bluetooth specication: class II with an average range of up to 10m.

For other devices, the connection system is similar (see manufacturer’s manual).

Registering another rang distance control

It is possible to use up to 3 controllers simultaneously.
To sync a new remote, follow the instructions:

1. Make sure the AMPLAYER is turned off, however the ACC must be energized.
2. Press and hold the 3/SYNC key for 10 seconds.
3. The panel LEDs will start flashing.
4. On the long-distance control, press the and synchronization keys simultaneously until the LEDs turn off (check if the long-distance control is compatible*).
