turn off

the amplifier.

4. Disconnect the amplifier’s

power cord.

5. Remove the existing

PIP

disconnecting the

PIP

from a PIP2

6. Carefully ground yourself to the

chassis of the amplifier

amplifier while inserting the
module into the amplifier.

7. Install the IQ-PIP-USP2/CN into

the amplifier:

Turn the IQ-PIP-

USP2/CN over so that you can
clearly see the two ribbon-cable
connectors located on the
underside of the circuit board (see
Figure 3.2). Connect the two input
ribbon cables of the amplifier. The
20-pin cable (A) should be
connected first, then the 18-pin
cable (B) should be connected.
