Pioneer PRS-D1100M - Manual (Page 2)

Connecting the Power Terminal
• Always use the special red battery and ground
wire ([RD-223] and [RD-222]), which are sold
separately. Connect the battery wire directly to the
car battery positive terminal (+) and the ground
wire to the car body. There is the risk of a fuse
burning out if only one of these is connected.
1. Pass the battery wire from the
engine compartment to the interior
of the vehicle.
• After making all other connections to the
amplifier, connect the battery wire terminal of
the amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of
the battery.

2. Twist the battery wire, ground wire
and system remote control wire.
3. Attach lugs to wire ends. Lugs not
supplied.
• Use pliers, etc., to crimp lugs to wires.
4. Connect the wires to the terminal.
• Fix the wires securely with the terminal
screws.
WARNING
Failure to securely fasten the battery wire to the ter-
minal using the terminal screws could cause the ter-
minal area to overheat and could result in damage
and injury including minor burns.

Connecting the Unit <ENGLISH>
CAUTION
• Disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery
to avoid the risk of short-circuit and damage to
the unit.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around it where they lie against metal parts.
• Do not route wires where they will get hot, for
example where the heater will blow over them. If
the insulation heats up, it may become damaged,
resulting in a short-circuit through the vehicle
body.
• Make sure that wires will not interfere with mov-
ing parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift,
handbrake or seat sliding mechanism.
• Do not shorten any wires. Otherwise the protec-
tion circuit may fail to work when it should.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting
the insulation of the power supply wire to tap
from the wire. The current capacity of the wire
will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• Never replace the fuse with one of greater value
or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improp-
er fuse could result in overheating and smoke and
could cause damage to the product and injury
including burns.
Connecting the Speaker Output
Terminals
1. Expose the end of the speaker wires
using nippers or a cutter by about
10 mm and twist.
2. Attach lugs to speaker wire ends.
Lugs not supplied.
• Use pliers, etc., to crimp lugs to wires.
3. Connect the speaker wires to the
speaker output terminals.
• Fix the speaker wires securely with the termi-
nal screws.
Using the Speaker Input
Connect the car stereo speaker output
wires to the amplifier using the supplied
speaker input wire with RCA pin cord.
• Slide the input switch to the right.
7 Connections when using the speaker
input
• As a result of connecting the car stereo speaker
output wire to the amplifier, the power of the
amplifier is turned on automatically when the car
stereo is turned on. It is not necessary to connect
the system remote control wire in this case.
• In the case the amplifier and head unit are con-
nected using a speaker input wire with RCA pin
cord, the amplifier power is only turned on when
one amplifier is being used. If two or more ampli-
fiers are synchronously connected in combination,
connect the head unit and all of the amplifiers
with the system remote control wire.
Note:
• Connect the system remote control wire when the
power of the amplifier is not to be turned on when
the car stereo is turned on.

CAUTION:
To prevent damage and/or injury
• Do not ground the speaker wire directly or con-
nect a negative (–) lead wire for several speakers.
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-
ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery
voltage.
• If the car stereo is kept on for a long time while
the engine is at rest or idling, the battery may go
dead. Turn the car stereo off when the engine is at
rest or idling.
• If the system remote control wire of the amplifier
is connected to the power terminal through the
ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will
always be on when the ignition is on— regardless
of whether the car stereo is on or off. Because of
this, the battery could go dead if the engine is at
rest or idling.
• DO NOT connect a subwoofer with a lower
impedance than specified in the “Connecting the
Unit” section. Amplifier damage, smoke, and
overheating could result from a non-specified con-
nection. The amplifier surface could also become
hot to the touch and minor burns could result.
• Connect either of three subwoofers to the amplifi-
er; 1: a subwoofer with a 420 W or larger nominal
input and an impedance 4
Ω, 2: a subwoofer with
a 600 W or larger nominal input and an imped-
ance 2
Ω or 3: a subwoofer with a 600 W or larg-
er nominal input and an impedance 1
Ω. If the
nominal input and impedance are out of the above
ranges, the subwoofer may catch fire, emit smoke
or become damaged.
• Install and route the separately sold battery wire
as far away as possible from the speaker wires.
Install and route the separately sold battery wire,
ground wire, speaker wires and the amplifier as
far away as possible from the antenna, antenna
cable and tuner.
• Cords for this product and those for other prod-
ucts may be different colors even if they have the
same function. When connecting this product to
another product, refer to the supplied manuals of
both products and connect cords that have the
same function.

Connection Diagram
• This diagram shows connections using external output. Slide the input switch to the left.
• In the case of connecting the external output from a car stereo to an RCA input, use the jack used for full-
range output. This is because the LPF of the amplifier cannot be turned OFF. If this jack cannot be used,
connect the subwoofer output jack to the RCA input.
• When you connect with speaker output, connections defers from the diagram. For details, see the “Using
the Speaker Input” section. In either case, you need to set the input switch. For details, see the “Setting the
Unit” section.
• Always use the special red battery and ground wire ([RD-223] and [RD-222]), which are sold separately.
Connect the battery wire directly to the car battery positive terminal (+) and the ground wire to the car
body. There is the risk of a fuse burning out if only one of these is connected.
