CONNECTION CHECK LIST
Please check your head unit for the conditions
listed below:
Remote Turn-On Lead
a. The head unit does not have a remote turn-on
or power antenna lead.
b. The head unit’s power antenna lead is activated
only when the radio is on (turns off in the tape
or CD Mode).
c. The head unit’s power antenna lead is logic level
output (+) 5V, negative trigger (grounding
type), or cannot sustain (+) 12V when
connected to other equipment in addition to
the vehicle’s power antenna.
If any of the above conditions exist, the remote
turn-on lead of your S2-A36F/S2-A55V must be
connected to a switched power source (ignition)
in the vehicle. Be sure to use a 3A fuse as close
as possible to this ignition tap. Using this
connection method, the S2-A36F/S2-A55V will
turn on and stay on as long as the ignition
switch is on.
If this is objectionable, a SPST (Single Pole,
Single Throw) switch, in addition to the 3A fuse
mentioned above, may be installed in-line on
the S2-A36F/S2-A55V turn-on lead. This switch
will then be used to turn on (and off) the
S2-A36F/S2-A55V. Therefore, the switch should
be mounted so that is accessible by the driver.
Make sure the switch is turned off when the
vehicle is not running. Otherwise, the amplifier
will remain on and drain the battery.

SWITCH SETTINGS
• Before switching each Selector Switch, turn off the power and insert a small screwdriver, etc.,
perpendicularly to the Switch.
S2-A36F
S2-A55V
Input Level and Turn-on Type Switch
a) If input is via the head unit speaker
line using a speaker-RCA
conversion cable (sold separately),
set to “HI”.
TURN-ON TYPE “DC”:
Power is turned on by the “REMOTE
SENSING” function when DC offset
is detected.
b) If input is via the head unit speaker
line using a speaker-RCA
conversion cable (sold separately),
set to “HI”.
TURN-ON TYPE “REM”:
Power is turned on by the remote
turn-on lead.
c) If input is via the head unit pre-out
line using an RCA extension cable
(sold separately), set to “LO”.
TURN-ON TYPE “REM”:
Power is turned on by the remote
turn-on lead.
• The DC offset auto turn-on circuit was
designed to work with ONLY high level signals
(i.e., speaker level signals). These high level
signals usually come from the amplified
output of radios, head units, and amplifiers.
Because LO signal input (i.e., low level signals)
cannot turn on the amplifier, the REMOTE
trigger signal must be supplied and the REM
setting needs to be used for LO signal input.*
* For details on turning on the unit with the
ACC trigger signal, see the Remote Turn-On
Lead ( ) section (page 6).
Input Gain Adjustment Control
Set the S2-A36F/S2-A55V input gain to the
minimum position. Using a dynamic CD as a
source, increase the head unit volume until the
output distorts. Then, reduce the volume 1 step
(or until the output is no longer distorted). Now,
increase the amplifier gain until the sound from
the speakers becomes distorted. Reduce the
gain slightly so the sound is no longer distorted
to achieve the optimum gain setting.

Input Channel Selector Switch (CH-3/4)
(S2-A55V only)
a) This switch setting is for selecting
either 2-channel or 4-channel input
mode. When set to “1/2”, signal will
be copied from CH-1/2 and sent to
CH-3/4, eliminating the need for
Y-adapters.
b) Setting this switch to “3/4” will keep
both inputs, CH-1/2 and CH-3/4
independent.
A 4-channel source is required for
this mode.
Crossover Frequency Adjustment Knob (HP
FILTER) (S2-A55V only)
Use this control to adjust the crossover
frequency between 50 Hz to 400 Hz.
