Installation
You may need a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the existing
PIP module or
panel from your amplifier.
CAUTION: Before connecting this or
any
PIP to your amplifier, it is important
to turn the amplifier’s level controls
down, turn it off and remove the AC
power. Don’t touch the circuitry. Even
though the amplifier is off, there could
still be enough energy remaining to
cause electric shock.
1. Turn down the level controls (full
counterclockwise), turn off the am-
plifier and unplug it from the AC
power source.
2. Remove the existing PIP module or
panel (two screws). For PIP2 am-
plifiers, this may involve discon-
necting the
PIP from a PIP2 input
adapter (see Figures 3.5 and 3.6).
If a
PIP2 input adapter is already
present do not remove the ribbon
cables from the adapter. Otherwise
you will have to reconnect them in
the next step.
3. Standard PIP Amplifiers: Align the
edges of the
P.I.P.–BP1 in the P.I.P.
card rails and firmly push the unit in
until it is seated against the mount-
ing bracket (see Figure 3.4).
PIP2 Amplifiers: (Requires a PIP2
input adaptor, included.) Connect
the
PIP2 input adapter to the two
P.I.P.

input cables of the amplifier (see
Figure 3.5). Notice that the
PIP2 in-
put adapter should be positioned
with the
PIP edge connector on top
and facing away from the amplifier.
The 20-pin cable (A) is connected
first, then the 18-pin cable (B) is
connected. Both ribbon cables
should extend below the
PIP2 input
adapter.
Next, insert the edge connector of
the
P.I.P.–BP1 into the PIP2 input
adapter (see Figure 3.6) and insert
the assembly into the
PIP opening
in the back of the amplifier.
4. Tighten the two PIP mounting
screws.
5. Connect input and output wiring as
described in the preceding section
(Input/Output Wiring).
6. Plug in the amplifier and turn it on.
Adjust its level controls to a desired
setting. (In Dual mode, the level con-
trols can now be used to balance the
low and high frequencies.)
Do not tamper with the circuitry. Circuit
changes made by unauthorized per-
sonnel, or unauthorized circuit modifi-
cations are not allowed.
