Fan Cooling
Cooling system is automatically activated whenever amplifier is turned on. This forced air cooling system rapidly exhausts interior heat, reducing operating temperature and aiding performance.
Stereo/Mono Switch
Lets you select conventional stereo operation with a stereo input signal or bridged mono input mode.
Input Jacks
Let you connect a variety of audio input sources via the balanced (XLR/6.35mm phone jack combinations) or unbalanced (RCA) inputs.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Connecting the GND (GROUND) screw terminal Connecting a mixer or preamplifier may cause excessive noise or hum in the amplifier output. To prevent this, connect one end of a low-capacitance shield wire to the amplifier's ground screw (on the rear panel). Then connect the other end of this wire to the ground terminal on the mixer or preamplifier enclosure.
PREAMP OR MIXER
LOW CAPACITANCE SHIELD WIRE
GROUND SCREW
Input connections
These amplifiers accept a board range of input sources, including Compact Disc (CD,DVD) players; Cassette, Reel­to-Reel or other tape players; Radio Tuners; Equalizers; Signal Processors.
Stereo or Mono Inputs
Your Pyle Pro amplifier can be operated in Stereo, Mono or Bridged mode, depending on the input source. If the input signal is mono, slide the Stereo/Mono/Bridged selector switch to MONO and the signal will be routed through both channels. If you wish to run the amplifier in bridged output mode, slide the switch to Bridged.
Speaker connections
You can connect 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm speakers to Channel 1 and/or Channel 2 of the amplifier. If you connect two pairs of speakers, be sure to follow these guidelines:
• Speakers which are connected to the same channel are part of a pair, and must be of the same impedance.
• Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part of a pair, and can be of different impedances.
1. Prepare the speaker wire by removing about 1 inch of insulation from the end of the speaker wire you intend to connect to the amplifier. Then twist the exposed wire to secure all the wire strands.
NOTE: Use 16-gauge speaker wire for lengths up to25 feet; 14-gauge wire for lengths over 25 feet. It is recommended that you use the shortest length of wire possible.
Connecting a CD, DVD, tape player or tuner
In a normal installation, one would use the RCA JACKS for connecting a CD player, DVD player,tape player or tuner.
use RCA jacks
CD PLAYER, TAPE PLAYER OR TUNER
Connecting an equalizer or external signal processor
Connect the processor's OUT to the amplifier's IN connector.
EQ OR MIXER
2. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker's positive and negative terminals.
NOTE: Most speaker terminals are either color-coded or have a mark that indicates the terminal's polarity.
Usually positive terminals are red or have a plus symbol
(+), and negative terminals are black or have a minus
symbol (-).
3. Connect the speaker wires to the amplifier's left and right speaker terminals according to the terminal color polarity.

Bridged Mode Operation
This amplifier can operate in a mono bridged output mode, if your speakers can handle the following power output levels:
CH 1
USE CHANNEL 1 INPUT ONLY
CAUTION! Do not use balanced and unbalanced inputs simultaneously!!
Connecting to standard AC power
After making all other connections, set the POWER switch to OFF position. Then connect the power cord to a standard AC outlet.
Mounting the amplifier
This amplifier is designed to accept standard rack mounting installations. Two slots on each end of the front panel make it suitable for such an installation.
Tightly secure four mounting screws (not supplied) through these fours slots and into your standard electronics equipment rack.
Turning the amplifier on
1. Turn on the audio input source equipment which is connected to the amplifier INPUT jacks.
2. Set the amplifier’s Channel 1 and Channel 2 output level gain controls to the minimum level settings.
3. Push in the power switch to turn the amplifier on.
Using the power blue LED meters
The meter pointer position indicates the amplifier output power. For ease of reading in dark environments, the meter is illuminated.
PZR600: 1000 watts PZR1000: 2000 watts
As shown in the diagram below, connect the speaker's positive (+) to the amplifier's red speakers left (1/2) terminals and negative (-) to red speakers right (1/2) terminals.
The speaker right (+) on the amplifier is used as a negative (-) terminal for a bridged connection.
NOTE: The extra amplifier output of 6.35mm phone jacks can not be used for the bridged connection. It can only be used in normal (non-bridged) operation as a stereo speaker output.
MONO BRIDGED OPERATION
SWITCH IN “BRIDGED” POSITION
DO NOT USE BLACK TERMINALS
Using the Channel 1 and Channel 2 Output Level controls
Rotate output level gain clockwise to increase, or counter­clockwise to decrease the output power. To get the best performance with the least sound distortion, always adjust the output level gain so the meter's pointer does not continuously exceed the extreme right of the meter's scale.
CAUTION: It is possible to overdrive the amplifier by setting output level gain too high, which may cause damage or failure.
About the internal clip circuitry
Special clip circuitry incorporated into your Pyle Pro amplifier’s design protects the amplifier and speaker system from being damaged from overdriving power.
Under normal conditions, the amplifier’s clip indicator will flicker as the output power momentarily exceeds the level as set by the output level gain selector.
However, under excessive output conditions, the clip indicator lights remain on continuously, alerting you that the special clip circuitry has become active. When this occurs, you should simply reduce the output power level by rotating the Master Volume control counterclockwise.
MONO SIGNAL SOURCE
USE CHANNEL 1 INPUT ONLY
CAUTION! Do not use balanced and unbalanced inputs simultaneously!!

Caring for your Pyle Pro Amplifier
Your Pyle Pro Amplifier is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your amplifier so you can enjoy years of use:
• Keep the amplifier dry. If it gets wet, wipe immediately.
• Use the amplifier only in well-ventilated installations.
• Handle the amplifier gently and carefully - do not drop!
• Keep the amplifier away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe occasionally with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents or detergents!
Resetting the circuit breaker
This amplifier employs a circuit breaker for protection from power surges and short circuits. If the amplifier suddenly turns off or will not turn on, check the circuit breaker. If it is tripped, check and correct for a short or overload condition. Wait for the amplifier to cool, then press the circuit breaker RESET button on the back of the amplifier.
