The Punch 360.6, is a 360 watt, 6 channel amplifier with integrated  
features for accommodating “single amplifier” system designs. Built  
into the amplifier are four internal XCards and a Signal Switching  
Network. These features simplify signal processing and enable  
custom signal distribution for each set of channels. Also integrated is  
a Phase Switch and Bass EQ circuit designed to improve system  
tuning. The engineering effort applied to the Punch 360.6 amplifier  
represents how an impressive 3-way system can be easily installed  
while keeping the components used to a minimum.

TECH NICAL DESIGN FEATURES  
TRANS• ANA  
(TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier)  
The TRANS• ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier) is a  
circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low  
voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage  
rails via a pair of driver transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an  
active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies.  
This allows amplifier performance similar to trans• nova which is  
highly stable and linear while utilizing the advantages of a non-  
floating power supply.  
THE RESULT: An extended frequency bandwidth accurately supplied  
to the output stages of the amplifier.  
TOPAZ (Tracking Operation Pre-Amplifier Zone)  
The TOPAZ (Tracking Operation Pre-Amplifier Zone) circuitry solves  
ground loop noise problems common to automotive amplifier design.  
This innovative new development allows vastly improved isolation of  
the input signal grounds from the power supply ground of the  
amplifier. This is accomplished by allowing the source unit to control  
the potential “environment” of the entire input structure or “zone” of  
the amplifier. This process improves the noise rejection of the ampli-  
fier by 30-40dB – an astounding 30-100 times better than amplifiers  
without TOPAZ.  
THE RESULT: Elimination of troublesome ground loop noise between  
source and amplifier.  
Bass EQ  
The Bass EQ helps correct for acoustical deficiencies in the listening  
environment. A unique potentiometer that controls bass compen-  
sates for the lack of low frequencies present in most car environ-  
ments. Unlike a conventional tone control, the Bass EQ corrects the  
specific problem of poor low bass response.  
THE RESULT: Provides better low bass response.

DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) Technology  
The DSM (Discrete Surface Mount) manufacturing process combines  
the advantages of both discrete components and integrated circuitry.  
Rockford Fosgate isthe onlyAmerican amplifiermanufacturerto have  
invested millions into this process. DSM components differ from  
conventional discrete components in different ways. They are more  
compact, more rugged, and they efficiently dissipate generated heat.  
Using them wherever appropriate allows the advantages associated  
with discrete circuitry to be retained while also providing room for  
both highly advanced processing features and generous PC board  
copper paths where needed. Their short lead-out structures allow  
maximum audio performance and highest signal-to-noise ratios to be  
obtained in amplifiers of desirable package size without resorting to  
“amplifier-on-a-chip” shortcuts. These advantages are shown below  
in Figure 1.

THE RESULT: Fewer connections, improved reliability, shorter signal  
paths, superior signal-to-noise ratio and awesome sonic performance.  
XCard (Internal Crossover)  
The Punch amplifiers utilize internal active crossovers. These cross-  
overs have many performance advantages such as using discrete  
components for exact frequency adjustments which are far superior to  
potentiometers. Additionally, the XCard can be configured for high-  
pass, low-pass and full range operation. With slight modifications,  
manycrossoverfrequenciesand slope configurationscan be achieved.  
THE RESULT: Increased system design flexibility with a precise  
electronic crossover without the limitations of conventional potenti-  
ometer designs.

MOSFET Devices  
Rockford Fosgate is one of the few manufacturers in the sound  
community to utilize MOSFET devices in both the power supply and  
the output stages. MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect  
Transistor) devices offer several important inherent advantages over  
the 30 year old technology of bi-polar design. These advantages  
include: thermal stability, switching speed, ultra low output imped-  
ance and wider bandwidth linearity. In addition, MOSFETs operate  
very similarly to vacuum tubes in which they are more linear than bi-  
polartransistors. However, MOSFETscan deliverthe midrange clarity  
without the limitations of transient response and high frequency  
phase shifting normally associated with tube operation.  
THE RESULT: Operational characteristics similar to vacuum tubes  
without the performance limitations of tube design.  
NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision)  
The Punch amplifiers use an analog computer process to maximize  
safe output power under all operating conditions. The innovative  
NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision) system is the most  
sophisticated version ofthistechnique everused, bringingpreviously  
unavailable levels of accuracy, stability, temperature immunity and  
reliability to this critical process. NOMAD makes advanced deci-  
sions based on device voltages to precisely control the awesome  
levels of current available in the output MOSFETs to safe values – but  
only when absolutely needed.  
THE RESULT: Extremely fast protection system that always protects  
the amplifier and never degrades the sound.  
Signal Switching Network  
The Signal Switching Network allows the RCA input signals to be  
distributed to the amplifier channels in multiple configurations.  
Among the many possible configurations, a setting called E-Z bridge  
uses a single RCA (L mono) and gain (L) control to feed a pair of  
channels, thus simplifying the bridging process.  
THE RESULT: Allows input signals to be distributed to amplifier  
channels in many different configurations.

IN STALLAT I O N C O N SI D ERAT I O N S  
The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the Punch  
amplifier:  
Allen wrenches 9/64" & 3/32" (included) Voltmeter  
Wire strippers  
Electric hand drill w/assorted bits  
Wire crimpers  
Battery post wrench  
Wire cutters  
Assorted connectors  
This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for  
installing your new Punch amplifier. Checking your battery and  
present sound system, as well as pre-planning your system layout and  
best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding how to  
lay out your new system, be sure that each component will be easily  
accessible for making adjustments.  
Before beginning any installation, be sure to follow these simple rules:  
1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before  
attempting to install the amplifier.  
2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to  
beginning the installation.  
3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to  
mounting your amplifier in place.  
4. Route allofthe RCAcablesclose togetherand awayfrom anyhigh  
current wires.  
5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to  
minimize signal or power loss.  
6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks,  
fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical  
wiring when working on any vehicle.  
7. Neverrun wiresunderneath the vehicle. Runningthe wiresinside  
the vehicle provides the best protection.  
8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or  
plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal,  
especially the firewall.  
9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage  
with proper fusing. Install a fuseholder and appropriate fuse on  
the +12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.  
10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint  
from the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection.  
Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always  
be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis,  
of the vehicle.

MO UNTING LO CATIO N  
The mounting location and position of your amplifier will have a  
great effect on itsability to dissipate the heat generated duringnormal  
operation. The design of our cast aluminum heatsink serves to easily  
dissipate the heat generated over a wide range of operating condi-  
tions. However, to maximize the performance of your amplifier, care  
should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation.  
Trunk Mounting  
Mounting the amplifier vertically on a surface with the fin grooves  
running up and down will provide the best cooling of the amplifier.  
Mounting the amplifier on the floor of the trunk will work but  
provides less cooling capability than vertical mounting.  
Mounting the amplifier upside down to the rear deck of the trunk will  
not provide proper cooling and will severely affect the performance  
of the amplifier and is strongly not recommended.  
Passenger Compartment Mounting  
Mounting the amplifier in the passenger compartment will work as  
long as you provide a sufficient amount of air for the amplifier to cool  
itself. If you are going to mount the amplifier under the seat of the  
vehicle, you must have at least 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around the  
amplifier's heatsink.  
Mounting the amplifier with less than 1" (2.54cm) of air gap around  
the amplifier's heatsink in the passenger compartment will not  
provide proper cooling and will severely affect the performance of  
the amplifier and is strongly not recommended.  
Engine Compartment Mounting  
Rockford Fosgate amplifiers should never be mounted in the engine  
compartment. Not only will this void your warranty but could create  
an embarrassing situation caused by the ridicule from your friends.

BATTERY AN D CH ARG IN G  
Amplifiers will put an increased load on the vehicle's battery and  
charging system. We recommend checking your alternator and  
battery condition to ensure that the electrical system has enough  
capacity to handle the increased load of your stereo system. Stock  
electrical systems which are in good condition should be able to  
handle the extra load of any Rockford amplifier without problems,  
although battery and alternator life can be reduced slightly. To  
maximize the performance of your Rockford Fosgate amplifier, we  
suggest the use of a heavy duty battery and an energy storage  
capacitor.  
W I R I N G T H E SYST E M  
CAUTION: Avoid running power wires near the low level input  
cables, antenna, power leads, sensitive equipment or harnesses. The  
power wires carry substantial current and could induce noise into  
the audio system.  
For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to  
beginning the installation.  
1. Configure the internal XCard crossover and Signal Switching  
Network prior to installation. Refer to pages 12 & 13 for further  
information.  
2. Plan the wire routing. Take care when running signal level RCA  
cablesto keep them close togetherbutisolated from the amplifier's  
power cables and any high power auto accessories, especially  
electric motors. This is done to prevent coupling the noise from  
radiated electrical fields into the audio signal. When feeding the  
wires through the firewall or any metal barrier, protect them with  
plastic or rubber grommets to prevent short circuits. Leave the  
wires long at this point to adjust for a precise fit at a later time.  
3. Prepare the Power cable for at-

Mount the fuseholder within 18" of the battery using two (2) #8  
screws. Disassemble the fuseholder. You should have 2 black  
plastic end caps, 2 gold-plated fuse clips, a plastic spacer and the  
fuseholder body. Trim the amplifier power cable to reach the  
fuseholder and strip the wire 3/8". Slide one of the end caps over  
the wire (narrow end first) and insert the wire into one of the fuse  
clips. Tighten the set screw. Screw the black end cap to the  
fuseholder body to secure the cable. Use the section of cable that  
was trimmed earlier and connect it to the other end of the  
fuseholder. Install the plastic spacer in the fuseholder and attach  
the cable to the fuseholder body.  
NOTE: The B+ cable MUST be fused 18" or less from the vehicle's  
battery. Install the fuseholder under the hood and prepare the  
cable ends as stated above. Connections should be water tight.  
4. Strip 3/8" from the battery end of the power cable and crimp a large  
ring terminal to the cable. Use the ring terminal to connect to the  
battery positive terminal. Do not install the fuse at this time.  
5. Prepare a length of cable to be used for the GND connection. Strip  
5/8" of insulation from the end of the cable as described previously  
and connect to the appropriate terminal of the amplifier. Prepare  
the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface  
and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the other  
end of the wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the cable to the  
chassis using a non-anodized screw and a star washer.  
6. Prepare the REM turn-on wire for connection to the amplifier by  
stripping 1/4" of insulation from the wire end and crimping an  
insulated spade connector in place. Slide the connector over the  
REM terminal on the amplifier. Connect the other end of the REM  
wire to a switched 12 volt positive source. The switched signal is  
usually taken from the source unit'sauto antenna or the accessory  
lead. If the source unit does not have these outputs available, the  
recommended solution isto wire a mechanicalswitch in line with  
a 12 volt source to activate the amplifier.  
7. Securely mount the amplifier (with supplied screws) to the  
vehicle or amp rack. Be careful not to mount the amplifier on  
cardboard or plastic panels. Doing so may enable the screws to  
pull out from the panel due to road vibration or sudden vehicle  
stops.

8. Connect the source signal to the amplifier by plugging the RCA  
cables into the input jacks at the amplifier.  
9. Connectthe speakers. Strip the speakerwires5/8". Insertthe bared  
wire into the speaker terminal and tighten the set screw to secure  
into place. Be sure to maintain proper speaker polarity. DO NOT  
chassis ground any of the speaker leads as unstable operation  
may result.  
10. Perform a final check of the completed system wiring to ensure  
that all connections are accurate. Check all power and ground  
connections for frayed wires and loose connections which could  
cause problems.  
11. After the final inspection is complete, install the power fuse and  
enjoy listening. During the initial listening period, you may need  
to “fine tune” any phasing and level settings within your particular  
vehicle. To aid in this procedure, play a track with high musical  
content and cruise around your neighborhood. After fully evalu-  
ating the transient response of your system and making any final  
adjustments, all your neighbors within a 1 mile radius will assume  
thatyou have justsuccessfullycompleted anotherupgrade to your  
audio system for which they will probably spill thumbtacks on  
your driveway.

U SI N G T H E XCARD  
The crossover functions are controlled through the use of an XCard  
and can be set for high-pass, low-pass or full range operation. The  
XCard installed in your amplifier is set for Full Range. Each crossover  
card has two faces: one face operates Full Range, the other has arrows  
to indicate the edge for selecting HP (high-pass) or LP (low-pass)  
operation. Orient the card with the desired operating edge, indicated  
by the arrow, toward the socket terminals inside the amplifier. Firmly,  
but carefully, plug the card into the socket.

USING TH E PH ASE SW ITCH  
Vehicle interiors can cause acoustical irregularities with the system's  
bass response. The Punch amplifier has a 0°/–180° phase switch that  
allows both Channel C outputs to be inverted simultaneously. Since  
woofers will typically be connected to Channel C, the system's bass  
response can be improved by experimenting with the phase switch.

USING THE SIGNAL SWITCHING NETWORK  
The Signal Switching Network allows the RCA input signals to be  
distributed to the outputs in many different configurations. The  
orientation of both switches configure the distribution pattern. The  
switches can be oriented in the following configurations:

About the Dynamic Power Measurements  
The Audio Graph PowerCube is a test instrument used to measure the  
outputofan amplifierin accordance with IHF-202 industrystandards. The  
IHF-202 standard is a dynamic power measurement and was developed  
as a means of measuring power in a manner that best represents the Real  
World operation of an amplifier. Many manufacturers, including Rockford  
Fosgate, at times will measure amplifier power into a fixed resistor (4 ohm,  
2 ohm). While this method is useful in some types of evaluation and  
testing, itisnotrepresentative ofan amplifierthatisconnected to a speaker  
and playing music.  
Music  
Music isdynamic;the sound wavesare complexand constantlychanging.  
In order to simulate this, the IHF-202 standard calls for the input signal to  
the amplifier to be a 1kHz bursted tone. This signal is input (on for 20  
milliseconds) and reduced 20dB for 480 milliseconds. The signal is  
gradually increased in level until the amplifier's output exceeds 1% Total  
Harmonic Distortion (THD). At1% distortion becomesaudible, therefore,  
any power produced above that level is considered unusable. Many  
manufacturers represent their amplifiers' output power in excess of 10%  
distortion. They use many names for this measurement, such as Total  
Maximum Power or Maximum Output Power. This is not indicative of the  
actual usable output power.  
Listening to Loudspeakers - Not Resistors  
A loudspeaker is not a resistor. A resistor's value (resistance measured in  
ohms) is fixed. A loudspeaker's impedance is dynamic. It is constantly  
changing in value, dependent upon the frequency of the input signal.  
Therefore, measuring power with the amplifier loaded into a 4 ohm  
resistor is not the same as measuring power with the amplifier connected  
to a 4 ohm speaker. Most people do not listen to music through a resistor.  
A4 ohm speakermayexperience a drop in impedance 4-6 times lower than  
its nominal (printed) impedance. A speaker will also create phase shifts in  
the signal that is passed through it. These phase shifts happen because a  
speaker is an inductor (voice coil) and a capacitor (compliance of the  
surround/spider), as well as a resistor (voice coil wire).  
To simulate a speaker the Audio Graph PowerCube measures output  
power into 20 different loads. It tests at 8 ohms, 4 ohms, 2 ohms and 1  
ohm. Each of these impedances is also tested at –60°, –30°, 0°, +30° and  
+60° phase angles. These different impedances and phase angles repre-  
sent the shifts in impedance and phase that can occur in a typical  
loudspeaker.

Information Cubed  
The data acquired in the testing procedure is then graphed in the form  
of a 3-dimensional cube, hence the name PowerCube.  
The Phase Angle is expressed on the horizontal axis, the Output  
Voltage is presented on the vertical axis and the Impedance is  
displayed on the Z axis. Output Power, in watts, is listed on the left  
hand side for each impedance at each phase angle.

Example of a Punch 200.2 PowerCube  
What is an Amplifier?  
An amplifier by definition is a voltage generating device, recreating  
the signal which is input to it identically but with increased volume.  
It will be connected to a reactive load (the speaker). The impedance  
of this load and phase of the signal passing through the load will vary,  
dependent upon the frequency of the input signal (music).  
Therefore, a perfect amplifier will be able to maintain the same output  
voltage regardless of load characteristics and will not alter the signal  
it is reproducing. A perfect amplifier when measured by the Audio  
Graph PowerCube would present data that forms a perfect cube.  
Unfortunately, amplifiers are not perfect. The laws of physics gener-  
ally prevent it. A great amplifier is about the best one can hope to  
attain.  
As you can see by the PowerCube and as you will experience by  
listening, your Punch amplifier is a GREAT AMPLIFIER!

amplifcateur. Ne paslessuivre pourrait causer desblessuresou endommager  
le véhicule.  
INTRODUCTION  
Le Punch 360.6, est un amplificateur à 6 canaux de 360 watts avec des  
caractéristiques reprises aux amplificateurs 2 canaux. Quatre cartes de  
filtrage sont intégrées dans l'ampli ainsi qu'un réseau de commutation  
du signal. Ces caractéristiques simplifient le traitement du signal et  
permettent une configuration personnalisée de la distribution du signal  
à chaque paire de canaux. Afin d'améliorer le réglage de votre système  
nous avons également intégré un commutateur de phase et un circuit  
d'égalisation des basses. Le développment du Punch 360.6 montre à  
quel point un système 3 voies de qualité peut être facilement installé tout  
en utilisant un minimum de composants.  
MONTAGE  
Montage dans le coffre  
Monter l'amplificateur verticalement avec les rainures de haut en bas ce  
qui lui permet de refroidir plus facilement.  
Montage dans l'habitacle  
Monter l'amplificateur dans l'habitacle ne pose aucun problème, du  
moment qu'il y ait assez d'air pour le refroidir. Si vous montez l'ampli  
en dessous du siège, prévoyez 3 cm d'air autour du radiateur.  
Installation  
Pour votre sécurité, déconnectez la borne négative de la batterie du  
véhicule avant de commencer l'installation.  
Terminal B+  
Il est impératif qu'il y ait un fusible sur le câble pour la connexion à la  
masse. Préparez le châssisen grattantla peinture de la surface métallique  
et nettoyez la saleté et l'huile. Attachez le câble au châssis avec une vis.  
Terminal GND  
Préparez une longueur de câble pour la connexion à la masse. Préparez  
le châssis en grattant la peinture de la surface métallique et nettoyez la  
saleté et l'huile. Attachez le câble au châssis avec une vis.  
Terminal REM  
Connectez le fil REM à une commande 12 volts positive de la source. La  
commande 12 volts est habituellement prise sur la sortie antenne  
électrique de la source ou la commande accessoire. Si la source ne  
dispose pas de ces sorties, nous vous recommandons d'installer un  
interrupteur qui fournira un positif 12 volts au REM de l'amplificateur.

EINLEITUNG  
Die Punch 360.6 ist ein 360 Watt, 6-Kanal Verstärker mit integrierten  
Besonderheiten, um ein “ein Verstärker” System zu kreieren. Eingebaut  
sind vier interne Frequenzkarten und ein schaltbares Signal Netzwerk.  
Diese Besonderheiten vereinfachen die Signalbearbeitung und  
ermöglichen es, jedem Kanaldie “richtigenFrequenzen zuzuteilen. Ein  
Phasenumschalter und eine Bass-Equilizer Schaltung sind ebenfalls  
eingebaut, um Ihr System optimal anzupassen. Die Anstrengungen der  
Ingenieure lagen darin, ein vollwertiges 3-Wege System mit möglichst  
wenig Komponenten zu realisieren.  
EINBAUORT  
Im Fahrzeugkofferraum  
Der vertikale Einbau der Endstufen, das bedeutet, daβ die Kühlrippen  
von oben nach unten verlaufen, gibt dem Verstärker die beste Kühlung.  
Auf der Beifahrerseite  
Sollte der Verstärker auf der Beifahrerseite montiert werden, so ist es sehr  
wichtig, für eine ausreichende Kühlung zu sorgen. Sollte der Verstärker  
z.B. unter dem Beifahrersitz montiert werden, sollte dem Kühlkörper  
mindestens ein Luftspalt von 3 cm bleiben, um so für eine ausreichende  
Kühlung zu sorgen.  
Einbau  
Zur Sicherheit klemmen Sie den Negativ-Pol der Batterie während des  
gesamten Einbaues ab.  
B+ Anschluss  
Die Plus-LeitungMUβca.40 cm nach dem Plus-PolderBatterie abgesichert  
sein.PreparierenSidieKabellängenundmontierenSiedenSicherungshalter  
im Motorraum. ALLE Verbindungen müssen wasserdicht sein.  
GND Anschluss  
Preparieren Sie Ihr Kabel für die Negativ Leitung (Erdung). Preparieren  
Sie die Anschluβstelle desErdungskabels, indem Sie dasMetallgründlich  
reinigen und vom Lack befreien. Befestigen Sie nun die Erdung an dieser  
Stelle mit einer Schraube.  
REM Anschluss  
Verbinden Sie das Ein-und Ausschaltungskontroll-Kabel mit Ihrem  
Radio (12 Volt positiv). Normalerweise verwenden Sie hierfür die Ant.-  
Remote Ihres Radios oder ein eigens dafür vorgesehenes Kabel (Amp-  
Remote). Sollte Ihr Radio diesen Anschluβ nicht besitzen, so verwenden  
Sie eine 12 Volt Spannung, die Sie durch einen Schalter ein- und  
ausschalten können.

ATTENZIONE: SI PREGA DI LEGGERE LE SEGUENTI ISTRUZIONI PER  
L'INSTALLAZIONEDIQUESTO PRODOTTO. ILNON SEGUIRLEPOTREBBE  
RISULTARESERIAMENTEDANNOSO PERLAPERSONAO PERILVEICOLO.  
INTRODUZIONE  
Il Punch 360.6 é un amplificatore da 360 watt totali e 6 canali progettato  
per essere installato come un singolo apparato. Al suo interno trovano  
posto caratteristiche che consentono questa elevatissima versatilitá,  
come le 4 XCard e la rete di selezione degli ingressi. tutte queste  
caratteristiche semplificano il processo del segnale audio e permettono  
all'utilizzatore di smistare il segnale a ciascuna coppia di canali. É  
presente anche uno switch di inversione fase e un circuito di  
equalizzazione in gamma bassa per agevolare le operazioni di taratura  
del sistema. Lo sforzo ingegneristico applicato al 360.5 dimostra come  
un sistema a 3 vie possa essere installato con facilitá mantenendo ridotto  
il numero di componenti.  
DOVE POSIZIONARLO  
Nel Bagagliaio  
Montando l'amplificatore su una superficie in verticale con le alette  
direzionate dall'alto verso ilbasso vigarantirá un migliorraffreddamento  
dell'amplificatore.  
Nell'abitacolo  
Montandop l'amplificatore nell'abitacolo si avrá un funzionamento  
regolare se si garantisce un flusso d'aria sufficiente. Per l'installazione  
sotto un sedile, é necessario avere uno spazio di almeno 3 cm attorno  
a tutto l'amplificatore.  
Installazione  
Per sicurezza, scollegare il polo negativo della batteria dell'auto prima  
di iniziare l'installazione.  
Terminale B+ (cavo positivo)  
Il cavo positivo deve essere protetto da un fusibile a non piú di 45 cm  
dalla batteria. Terminare il cavo e installare il fusibile nel vano motore.  
Tutte le connessioni devono essere a prova d'acqua.  
Terminale GND (cavo negativo)  
Decidere la lunghezza del cavo e terminarlo. Preparare la massa  
grattando la vernice dal telaio dell'auto ed eliminando tracce di olio o  
sporco. Fissare il cavo di massa al telaio con una vite.  
Terminale REM (Consenso di accensione)  
Collegare il cavo REM ad un positivo presente solo ad autoradio accesa  
(normalmente il cavo pilota dell'antenna elettrica o il cavo accessori  
dell'autoradio). Se la sorgente non dovesse essere equipaggiata con  
queste uscite, la soluzione raccomandabile é di inserire un interruttore  
su un cavo positivo e connettersi all'amplificatore.

IMPIEGARE LA RETE DI SELEZIONE DEGLI INGRESSI  
La rete di selezione degli ingressi permette al segnale RCA di essere  
diretto alle uscite in molti modi distinti. La posizione di entrambi i  
selettori stabilisce la configurazione adottata. I selettori possono  
essere configurati nei modi seguenti:
