I recently installed 2 of these in my boat and am getting alot of distortion when turning up the radio close to the halfway point. The radio is newly purchased and is a BOSS as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I... What could be the problem?

There are a lot of things which could cause speaker distortion. I don't get that from mine, but my receiver isn't likely to exceed the specs of the speakers. Have a look at this http://www.thegeminigeek.com/how-to-get-rid-of-speaker-distortion/.

There are few things that can cause distortion. In my experience this amp is not one of those things. Mic gain can easily cause too much distortion, especially if you us a amped mic. If you are using the 980 in ssb mode, it could be the coarse and fine clarifier need to be adjusted. I start with the coarse set dead center, there is an slight indent to let you know, The fine clarifier I usually keep a couple degerees clockwise from dead center.

I have this exact set up sounds good and I have it hooked to a factory radio. Try sealed box first though I think it sounds better.

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver, Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while. Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty. Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

Yes this is a problem I am having with my new system as well, same make and model. I ordered a replacement the other day. Seems to be a problem with the receiver, I wrote about it in my review.

I have not tested for distortion. I would call Champion about the unit for technical questions about the unit you have purchased, or are considering.

Mine did the same thing. I sent it back to be exchanged. I thought that the radio was defective.

Send it back, and get a different replacement radio. I'm using a different radio since then, . Will not own another one at this point. My first one lasted 7-8 years of daily use. The 2nd was a piece of junk in comparison, lasting not even a year w/ ocaisional usage. I see the quality has gotten worse.

Not sure. When our Radio arrived it was probably defective because its speakers/audio was garbled no matter what venue we had it on radio, turntable or cassette so we shipped it back & didn't order another one until we had a chance to research other options.

I've noticed this happening to mine as well. With mine getting older and because I use it so often, there are many times where the CD player won't work properly. The same thing happened to my old CD player. I don't think there's anything you can do to fix it or the radio other than let it rest. Might need to get a new one.

Hi Caroline,This product was horrible. I have since discarded it. Maybe I just got a bad one but it wasn't worth the effort to try another one. I tryed it with a couple of radios with the same result. It would play for a minute or two then make a loud noise and cut out and did this over and over.Don

If you don't have that feature on your radio then just tape off the end so it doesn't short out on anything. Double check your wiring to make sure you didn't hook something else up to it, it seems odd that your radio head wouldn't have an option for it.

The device that is connected to the input line should be at almost maximum. There is a volume control on the unit but I leave that at max also. Where you would want to adjust the output volume is on your Radio receiver. It is possible to over drive the the unit. I would adjust your device that is connected to the the unit first, if there is distortion lower the volume on that device.

Sounds like it's defective. I never really calibrated mine, but it seems to work fine. Sorry! Send it back

You might be getting some interference with a TV, amplifier/receiver or radio nearby. If not, try resyncing it using instructions on page 4 of your users manual. If those fail, I'd send it back.

If it don't last about 4 hrs then send it back to Pioneer . They should be able to exchange it. I have a one and it is only good for about 3 to 4 hrs. if this is not the case send it back. These are pricey radios they should work properly
