0 Use This Equipment Safely
When Driving
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic conditions.
When Vehicle Washing
Do not expose the equipment, including the speakers and tapes, to water or excessive moisture. This could
cause electrical shorts, fire, or other damage.
When Parked
Parking in direct sunlight can produce very high temperatures inside your vehicle. Give the interior a chance
to cool down before switching the unit on.
Use the Proper Power Supply
This equipment is designed to operate off a 12 volt, negative ground battery system (the normal system in a
North American vehicle.)
Protect the Tape Mechanism
Keep magnets, screwdrivers, or other metallic objects away from the tape mechanism and tape head to pre-
vent poor performance or malfunctions.
Use Authorized Servicenters
Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust this precision equipment. Please refer to the Servicenter list includ-
ed with this product for service assistance.
Note:
This operating instruction manual is for both models CQ-2650EU and CQ-2500CEU. All illustrations thro-
ughout this manual represent model CQ-2650EU unless otherwise specified. The following table describes
the differences between two models.

Oldentify All Leads
The first step in installation is to identify all the vehi-
cle wires you'll use when hooking up your sound
system.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label
it using masking tape and a permanent marker. This
will help avoid confusion when making connections
later.
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the
stereo unit until you have made all connections. If
there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking
wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape
until you are ready to use them. Identify the leads in
the following order.
Power Lead
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one :
Cut the connector plug off (leaving the leads as long
as possible) so that you can work with individual
lu
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet that
causes the test bulb to light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb
also turns off and on, that outlet is the vehicle
power lead.
If your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit :
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio
(RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).
Battery Lead
If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need
to locate the vehicle's battery lead. Otherwise you
may ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead
provides continuous power to maintain a clock,
memory storage, or other function.)
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the igniticn and headlights off, identify the ve-
hicle battery lead by grounding one lead of the test
bulb to the chassis and checking the remaining ex-
posed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
It your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit :
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery, usually marked BAT.
Speakers
Identify the vehicle speaker leads. There will be two
leads for each speaker, usually color coded.
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the
speaker they connect with is to test the leads using
a 1.5 volt AA battery as follows.
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and
stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will
hear a scraping sound in a speaker if you are hold-
ing a speaker lead.
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until
you have located all the speaker leads. When you
label them, include the speaker location for each.
Antenna |
The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal
plug at the end.
O Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the ve-
hicle, you're ready to begin connecting them to the
stereo unit wires. The connection diagram on Page
20 shows the proper connections and color coding
of the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit be-
fore making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make tempo-
rary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape
to cover all exposed wires.
IMPORTANT : Connect the red power lead last,
after you have made and insulated all other connec-
tions,
Ground -
Connect the black ground lead of the power con-
nector to the metal vehicie chassis.
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram
below for the proper hookups. Follow the diagram
carefully to avoid damaging the speakers and the
stereo unit.
The speaker used must be able to handle more
than 35 watts (CQ-2500CEU needs 22 watts) of
audio power. Speakers with low input ratings can
be damaged.
Speaker impedance should measure 4 - 8 ohms,
which is typically marked on most speakers. Lower
or higher impedance speakers will affect output and
can cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.
CAUTION : Never ground the speaker cords. For
example, do not use a chassis ground system or a
three-wire speaker common system. Each speaker
must be connected separately using parallel insulat-
ed wires. If in doubt about how your vehicle's
speakers are wired, please consult with your near-
est professional installer. a

Installation Guide continued
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead
into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as amplifier,
according to the-instructions furnished with the
equipment. Keep about 12 inches (30 cm) of dis-
tance between the speaker cords/amplifier unit and
the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the op-
erating and installation instructions for any equip-
ment you will connect to this unit.
Power °
Connect the red power lead to the correct vehicle
radio wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
biock.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and pro-
ceed to the final installation.
J Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connec-
tion is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires
and fasten them with tape so they won't fall down
later. Now insert the stereo unit into the mounting
collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you're ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.
J Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are property connect-
ed and insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held
in the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for prop-
er operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest autho-
rized professional installer for assistance.

Troubleshooting
J Maintenance
Your product is designed and manufactured to
ensure a minimum of maintenance. Use a soft
cloth for routine exterior cleaning. Never use
benzine, thinner, or other solvent.
A When Something Doesn't Work
Check the charts on page 22, 23 for possible
causes and solutions to any problem you might
be experiencing. Some simple checks or minor
adjustments may eliminate the problem.
(1 Product Servicing
If the suggestions in the charts don't solve the
problem, we recommend that you take it to your
nearest authorized PASC Servicenter. The unit
should be serviced only by a qualified technician.
O Replacing the Fuse
Use fuses of the same specified rating (1 or 10
amps). Using different substitutes or fuses with
higher ratings, or connecting the unit directly
without a fuse, could cause fire or damage to the
stereo unit.
If the replacement fuse fails, contact your nearest
PASC Servicenter for service.
