Output and power connector
- FM Antenna: Input to connect the FM antenna. For loudspeaker associations, the impedance to be considered is the resultant impedance.
- Connector for speakers: To connect the speakers. See the connection diagram on page 18. For connections in STEREO mode, the minimum impedance is 2 ohms in each channel; in BRIDGE mode, it is 4 ohms.
- Power Connector: The (+) wires of the connector must be connected to the positive pole of the battery through a cable with a minimum gauge of 4mm². The wires (-) of the connector must be properly connected to the negative pole of the battery using a cable with the same gauge as the positive cable. See the connection diagram on page 17.
- Low-power mode protection fuse: It has 2 protection fuses, the external 15A (low-power mode) and the internal 20A (high-power mode).
- Crossover Front and Rear
- SELECTOR IN POSITION – FULL: Amplifies the entire audio range, responding from 10Hz to 20KHz. We normally use this function when we have an external crossover in the system.
- SELECTOR IN POSITION – HPF – (HIGH PASS): It amplifies signals from 90Hz; this type of function is used for reproduction in medium bass and medium speakers. A great example is the two-way kits and 6×9 speakers.
- SELECTOR IN POSITION – LPF – (LOW PASS): It amplifies only the sub bass and bass, as the response is limited to 90Hz (-12dB/8th), ideal cutoff for subwoofers.
- LINE OUT: The LINE OUT output allows you to send the audio signal (not amplified) to other equipment, such as an amplifier or active subwoofer.
Panel installation
- Position the removal keys as shown in the image below to remove the plastic strap from the product. ATTENTION: The front of the Amplayer is not removable.
- Install the plastic strap in the space intended for installing the radio on the vehicle’s dashboard.
- Amplayer may not be compatible with other plastic or metal straps. Use the strap provided for correct locking on the panel.
- Having completed the steps above, it is now time to install Amplayer on your vehicle. See on the next page, the correct way for installation.
Amplayer cleaning
- Cleaning the AMPLAYER panel can be done with a soft cloth, to avoid scratches, stains or damage to it.
- NEVER use chemical, abrasive, or cleaning products.
Installation
Recommended wire gauge & fuse
- Positive/negative power supply cable – 4mm²
- ACC cable – 0.75mm²
- Cable P. Antenna / Remote – 0.75mm²
- Fuse or circuit breaker protection – 20A
- Calculated considering a maximum length of 4m. For distances greater than this, you will need to increase the cable gauge.
Example of stereo connection 2 Ohms per channel
Bridge connection example 4 Ohms per channel
Bluetooth
- When selecting the Bluetooth function (identified with “bt” on the display), the Player waits for a Bluetooth connection. Search through your cell phone and make the pairing.
- To connect to a new device, disconnect the current one and re-pair Bluetooth.
- Bluetooth specification: class II with an average range of up to 10m.
Registering another range distance control
It is possible to use up to 3 controllers simultaneously. To sync a new remote, follow the instructions:
- Make sure the AMPLAYER is turned off; however, the ACC must be energized.
- Press and hold the 3/SYNC key for 10 seconds.
- The panel LEDs will start flashing.
- On the long-distance control, press the and
synchronization keys simultaneously until the LEDs turn off (check if the long-distance control is compatible). - The AMPLAYER only works with TARAMPS long-distance control operating at a frequency of 433.5MHz, FSK modulation with its own encryption.
