DocumentDocumentNO:000003 ENA-2T1 Instruction Manual Thank you for purchasing the Beat-Sonic Encore AlphaPlug & Play Car Audio Amplifier. Designed and made in Japan, this product represents our commitment to quality and excellence. Please read this manual carefully prior to installing this product to ensure correct operation. Features - Designed for Toyota 10-pin / 6-pin radio connectors - Class AB high efficiency car audio amplifier - Easy to install plug & play installation - Retains factory head unit, speakers and connectors - Manufactured using premium hi-fi audio grade components - Made in Japan Important - This product is installed using the factory harness connectors, however there are multiple factory harness connectors of the same size and shape. Do not plug into the wrong connector or serious damage may result. Contact Beat-Sonic if unsure. - Check the Beat-Sonic website for the latest vehicle compatibility information before installing. - Some vehicles may require extensive disassembly to install this product. Installation should be performed by an experienced motor vehicle technician or auto electrical professional. Precautions - This amplifier is suitable for negative ground 12V DC operation only. - Wrap cables in protective electrical tape when routing near metal brackets and sharp edges. - Do not install main unit or harness near moving mechanisms such as the steering column,seat rails, pedals etc. - Do not install this product where it may get wet or in areas where it is likely to get dusty or dirty. - Do not open, disassemble or modify this product. - Ensure the car battery is in good condition. A weak battery will cause a significant drop in power output and sound quality. Protection Circuit This amplifier is provided with a protection circuit that operates in the following conditions: - When the speaker output terminals are short circuited - When the battery is connected in reverse polarity - When the amplifier is overheated If this occurs, turn off the ignition and determine the cause of the malfunction. In case of overheating, wait until the amplifier has cooled off before using.

The method of disassembly varies for each vehicle. If unsure, please contact Beat-Sonic for advice for vehicle specific instructions. Diagram for illustration purposes. Actual radio and panels will vary according to model and grade. 4.2 Locate the 10-pin connector and the 6-pin connector on the back of the factory head unit. Disconnect the 10-pin connector and 6-pin connector from the back of the factory head unit and connect the wire harness connectors inline with the factory connectors in a daisy chain configuration (see section 3). 10-pin connector 6-pin connector Photos are for illustration purposes. Actual radio, number of connectors and connector positions will vary according to model and grade. 4.3 Attach the chassis ground terminal to the mounting bracket for the factory head unit. Loosen one of the fasteners using the correct size socket or spanner then slide the chassis ground terminal underneath before retightening the fastener. Chassis Ground Factory head unit 4 Installation (continued) 4.4 Decide a suitable location to mount the amplifier. The mounting location will vary depending on the vehicle. Suggested mounting locations include behind the factory head unit, inside the glove compartment or behind the glove compartment. i) If installing behind the factory head unit, behind the glove compartment or other location inside the dash, use the use the supplied foam padding strips by cutting to size to insulate against possible rattles from metal to metal contact. ii) If installing inside the glove compartment, use the provided double sided tape strips to secure the amplifier in place. An opening may need to be cut into the top/side of the glove compartment to allow the cables to pass through. Before installing, confirm the glove compartment can be freely opened and closed with the amplifier in place, and the cables do not obstruct moving parts. 4.5 Route the wire harness to the location of the amplifier and connect both the 16-pin grey connector and 8-pin white connector to the amplifier. 4.6 Confirm all connectors are fully inserted before reinstalling the head unit back into it's original position. Reconnect all other electrical connectors including AC / heater controls, behind trim panels. Test the system by turning on the radio and confim sound is output from all speakers. Play music through the sound system and adjust the gain if necessary (see section 5 below). IMPORTANT Return all electrical connectors behind the radio, AC / heater controls, behind trim panels etc., to their original locations before powering on the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in check engine light or error codes that requires a reset procedure. 4.7 Return panels and trim to the original locations taking care to ensure all connectors are reconnected to complete the installation. 6 Appendix A Optional Connection - RCA Inputs This amplifier is provided with 4 channel line level (RCA) inputs. These inputs can be used to connect an additional audio source device that can be played either simultaneously or separately to the high level inputs from the factory head unit. As an example, the headphone output (3.5mm) from a smartphone can be connected to the RCA inputs on the amplifier by using a 3.5mm to RCA cable together with 2 x RCA splitter cables. * 3.5mm to RCA cable and RCA splitter cables are sold separately and are not included. Amplifier RCA splitter cable x 2 3.5mm to RCA cable RCA connections are for input only and cannot be used as outputs. 5 Gain Adjustment Gain adjustment allows optimization of the factory head unit volume range in relation to the amount of power output by the amplifier. In most installations, the gain on the amplifier can be left at the factory set 50% gain (approx. 12 o'clock) position. In some cases however, adjustment may be necessary to prevent overdriving the speakers at relatively low volumes. It is important to remember that a lower gain setting does not mean less available power - it just means that the head unit volume needs to be increased to deliver the same output volume. How to Adjust the Gain 5.1 Adjust factory head unit bass, treble, balance and any other equalizer settings to the mid point positions. 5.2 Play music with impactful bass, treble and vocals. Slowly increase the volume on the factory radio to a medium-high level while carefully listening for any distortion. Use your finger nail or small flat head screwdriver to adjust the gain on the front and rear channels for maximum volume without distortion or overdriving the speakers.

The battery voltage is too low. Check battery voltage (11V ~ 15V). No sound in ACC mode Vehicle uses digital accessories Place vehicle into IGN mode to turn on the amplifier. (ACC) mode. Check with Beat-Sonic you have the correct product number for your vehicle. Steering wheel controls dont work. Intermittent errors. The sound is too quiet Connector is not fully inserted into the back of the radio. Head unit volume is too low or fader is biased to front or rear. The gain setting is not adjusted correctly. Check wire harness connectors are fully inserted. Firmly push in the connector until you hear the "click". Adjust volume on radio. Check fader settings are set to neutral. Adjust gain settings as explained in section 5 of this manual. The sound is distorted Adjusting rear gain has no effect on music volume The amplifier gets abnormally hot Head unit volume is too high or fader is biased to front or rear. The gain setting is not adjusted correctly . Vehicle uses factory 2ch input amplifier. Speaker impedance is too low. Inadequate ventilation. Adjust volume on radio. Check fader settings are set to neutral. Adjust gain settings as explained in section 5 of this manual. Keep rear gain at 12 o'clock (default) position. The amplifier will provide maximum power using the front 2 channels. Use speakers with suitable impedance 4 ~ 8. Make sure amplifier is installed in a well ventilated location. Caution! The gain control will turn easily until the maximum or minimum stop position is reached. Do not forcibly turn the gain beyond the max / min stop position otherwise damage can occur. 11 12 1 10 2 9 3 8 4 765 Factory set gain position (approx. 12 o'clock) 11 12 1 10 2 9 3 8 4 765 min Minimum gain position (approx. 7 o'clock) 11 12 1 10 2 9 3 8 4 765 max Maximum gain position (approx. 5 o'clock) Head Office Beat-Sonic JAPAN 472-5 Koushin, Fujieda, Nisshin, Aichi, 470-0112, JAPAN TEL: +81-561-75-1655 FAX: +81-561-74-5595 www.beatsonicglobal.com email: inquiries@beatsonicglobal.com USA and Canada Beat-Sonic USA Inc. 14778 Beach Blvd. La Mirada, CA 90638 TEL: 1-714-994-1085 FAX: 1-714-249-4741 www.beatsonicusa.com email: info@beatsonicusa.com The rights to the trademarks, logos, trade names etc. herein belong to the respective owners.
