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
module, it is important to turn
your 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 TM am-
plifiers, this may involve discon-
necting the PIP from a PIP2 input
adapter (see Figures 3.14 and
3.15). If a PIP2 input adapter is al-
ready present, do not remove the
ribbon cables from the adapter.
Otherwise you will have to recon-
nect them in the next step.
3. Standard P.I.P. Amplifiers: Align the
edges of the P.I.P.–AMCb in the PIP
card rails and firmly push the unit in
until it is seated against the mount-
ing bracket (see Figure 3.13).

Standard PIP Amplifier
PIP2 Amplifiers: (Requires a PIP2
input adapter. Crown part number
Q43528-1.) Connect the PIP2 input
adapter to the two input cables of
the amplifier (see Figure 3.14). No-
tice that the PIP2 input 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.–AMCb into the PIP2 input
adapter (see Figure 3.15) and insert
the assembly into the PIP opening
in the back of the amplifier.
