2.3 Audio Sarrerako Konexioak

The JX360/2 supports both high-level (speaker level) and low-level (RCA) inputs.

• Maila baxuko sarrerak (RCA): Konektatu RCA kableak zure unitate nagusiaren aurre-konexiotikamp irteerak amplifier's "Low-Level Inputs."
• Goi-mailako sarrerak: Zure unitate nagusiak RCA irteerarik ez badu, konektatu bozgorailuen kableak zuzenean amplifier's "Hi-Level Inputs" using the provided connector.

2.4 Bozgorailuen irteerako konexioak

Konektatu zure bozgorailuak amplifier's speaker output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for each speaker.

• For 2-channel stereo operation, connect one speaker to the Left (+) and Left (-) terminals, and another speaker to the Right (+) and Right (-) terminals.
• For bridged mono operation (e.g., for a subwoofer), connect the speaker to the "Bridged" terminals as indicated on the amplifier. The JX360/2 can deliver 360W into a 4-ohm load when bridged.

3. Funtzionamendua Ampbiziagoa

3.1 Hasierako piztea

After all connections are made, turn on your head unit. The amplifier should power on automatically via the remote turn-on wire. Observe the power indicator light on the ampbiziagoa.

3.2 Adjusting Input Sensitivity (Gain)

The "Input Sens." control matches the ampLikidatzailearen sarrera-sentsibilitatea irteerako bolumenarekikotage of your head unit. Start with the control at its minimum setting. Play a dynamic piece of music through your system. Slowly increase the "Input Sens." control until you hear distortion, then back it off slightly. This ensures maximum clean output from the ampbiziagoa.

3.3 Iragazkiaren ezarpenak

The JX360/2 features a 12 dB/octave variable filter, adjustable from 50 Hz to 500 Hz. This allows you to optimize the frequency response for your speakers.

• HP (High-Pass): Use this setting to block low frequencies from reaching your full-range speakers, preventing distortion and improving clarity.
• LP (Low-Pass): Use this setting when driving a subwoofer, allowing only low frequencies to pass through.
• Osoa: Disables the filter, allowing the full frequency range to pass.

Adjust the "Filter Freq." knob to select the desired crossover point.

3.4 Pass-Through Preamp Irteerak

The amplifier includes pass-through preamp outputs, allowing you to send the audio signal to another amplifier in your system without requiring additional RCA outputs from your head unit.

4. Mantentzea

The JL AUDIO JX360/2 ampLikidorea funtzionamendu fidagarrirako diseinatuta dago, mantentze minimoarekin. Jarraitu jarraibide hauek iraupena bermatzeko:

• Garbiketa: Aldian-aldian garbitu ampGarbitu garbigailuaren kanpoaldea oihal leun eta lehor batekin. Ez erabili produktu kimiko gogorrik edo garbitzaile urratzailerik.
• Aireztapena: Ziurtatu hori amplifier's heatsink fins are not obstructed. Adequate airflow is essential for proper cooling.
• Konexioak: Occasionally check all power, ground, and speaker connections to ensure they remain secure. Loose connections can lead to performance issues or damage.

5. Arazoak

Zurearekin arazoak badituzu ampbizigarri gisa, jo ezazu honako arazo eta irtenbide ohiko hauetara:

5.1 No Power / Amplifier Does Not Turn On

• Check the main fuse or circuit breaker on the +12VDC power line.
• Verify the ground connection is secure and making good contact with the chassis.
• Ensure the remote turn-on wire is connected and receiving +12V from the head unit when it is on.
• Check all power and ground connections at the ampbornagailuak.

5.2 Audio Irteerarik Ez

• Berretsi amplifier is powered on (power indicator light is illuminated).
• Check all RCA or high-level input connections from the head unit to the ampbiziagoa.
• Verify speaker wire connections at both the amplifier and the speakers. Ensure correct polarity.
• Check the head unit's volume and source selection.
• Ensure the "Input Sens." control is not set to minimum.
