Lh.CAUTION:Always ensure power is off or disconnected at the amplifier before connecting RCA cables.
OPERATION ADJUSTING GAIN 1. Turn amplifier gains to minimum (counter-clockwise). 2. Turn the source unit volume up to 7/8 maximum (or when distortion is just inaudible). 3. Slowly increase amplifier gain control until adequate volume is achieved. NOTE: Best signal to noise and dynamic range are realized with gain set to minimum. For a more in depth setting procedure, contact Rockford Technical Support LL CAUTION: Avoid setting amplifier gain high as noise and distortion will greatly increase.
