Output and power connector

• 1. FM Antenna: Input to connect the FM antenna.
  For loudspeaker associations, the impedance to be considered is the resultant impedance.

• 2. Connector for speakers: To connect the speakers.
  See connection diagram on page 18.
  For connections in STEREO mode, the minimum impedance is 2 ohms in each channel; in BRIDGE mode, it is 4 ohms.

• 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 17.
  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 20A 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 20A (high-power mode).

• 5 and 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.

• 7. 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
• ACC cable 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 essentialto 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.

Example of stereo connection 2 Ohms per channel

Bridge connection example 4 Ohms per channel

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.

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*).
   The AMPLAYER only works with TARAMPS long-distance control operating at a frequency of 433.5MHz, FSK modulation with its own encryption.
