Each frequency band is individually adjustable to meet individual listening preferences. [. . . ] For easy system set-up, mount the equalizer so the front panel controls will be easily accessible from the driver's seat after installation. Check clearances on both sides of a planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any screws. When routing RCA cables, keep them away from power cables and output speaker wires. If the unit should become wet, turn off all power and ask your authorized Clarion dealer to clean or service the unit. WIRING PRECAUTIONS Read all wiring precautions. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your authorized Clarion dealer. This unit operates on an automotive 12V negative ground power source and requires additional mobile audio components for proper operation. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power connections. A good chassis ground connection is critical to the performance of your Clarion equalizer. Use the shortest ground wire possible and securely connect to the car chassis along with the source unit ground to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an "antenna" for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary to make a direct connection with the source unit and amplifiers. If you are using a source unit, without a remote turn-on lead, the EQS560 can be turned on with a switched accessory lead. You can find this accessory power source in the factory harness at the back of the radio. It is the lead that turns on and off with the key. 5 SYSTEM SET-UP Setting System Volume After completing the system wiring, follow the steps below to properly adjust the EQS560. Turn the master volume control on the EQS560 and the amplifier gain controls to their minimum setting. Turn the source unit on and increase the volume until distortion is heard, then reduce volume just below this point. * Once the source unit volume has been set, it will no longer be used. Always use the volume control on the EQS560 as the master (main) volume control. It has better electronics, higher S/N ratio and is more linear than any source unit volume available. *This is the maximum usable musical signal forthis source unit. [. . . ] With the auxiliary source in play mode, switch to the auxiliary source. 6 4. Adjust the auxiliary input gain controls, located on the top panel of the EQS560, so that the volume of the auxiliary source matches the volume of the main source. Turn EQ controls to the center position and listen for distortion again. [. . . ]
