Cautions

• This unit is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V

DC operation only.

• Do not get the leads under a screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g. seat railing).

• Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits.

• Connect the power supply lead  to the unit and speakers before connecting it to the auxiliary power connector.

• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.

• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.

Notes on the power supply lead (yellow)

• When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the connected car circuit’s rating must be higher than the sum of each component’s fuse.

• When no car circuits are rated high enough, connect the unit directly to the battery.

Parts list

• The numbers in the list are keyed to those in the instructions.

• The bracket  and the protection collar  are attached to the unit before shipping. Before mounting the unit, use the release keys  to remove the bracket

 and the protection collar  from the unit. For details, see “Removing the protection collar and the bracket ( )” on the reverse side of the sheet.

• Keep the release keys  for future use as they are also necessary if you remove the unit from your car.

Caution

Handle the bracket  carefully to avoid injuring your fingers.



Catch

Note

Before installing, make sure that the catches on both sides of the bracket  are bent inwards 2 mm. If the catches are straight or bent outwards, the unit will not be installed securely and may spring out.

Connection example

Notes ( -A)

• Be sure to connect the ground (earth) lead before connecting the amplifier.

Warning

If you have a power antenna (aerial) without a relay box, connecting this unit with the supplied power supply lead

 may damage the antenna (aerial).

Notes on the control and power supply leads

• The power antenna (aerial) control lead (blue) supplies +12 V

DC when you turn on the tuner, or when you activate the AF

(Alternative Frequency) or TA (Traffic Announcement) function.

• When your car has built-in FM/MW/LW antenna (aerial) in the rear/side glass, connect the power antenna (aerial) control lead (blue) or the accessory power supply lead (red) to the power terminal of the existing antenna (aerial) booster. For details, consult your dealer.

• A power antenna (aerial) without a relay box cannot be used with this unit.

Memory hold connection

When the yellow power input lead is connected, power will always be supplied to the memory circuit even when the ignition switch is turned off.

Notes on speaker connection

• Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.

• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and with adequate power handling capacities to avoid its damage.

• Do not connect the speaker terminals to the car chassis, or connect the terminals of the right speakers with those of the left speaker.

• Do not connect the ground (earth) lead of this unit to the negative (–) terminal of the speaker.

• Do not attempt to connect the speakers in parallel.

• Connect only passive speakers. Connecting active speakers

(with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals may damage the unit.

• To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speaker leads installed in your car if the unit shares a common negative (–) lead for the right and left speakers.

• Do not connect the unit’s speaker leads to each other.

Notes on connection

• If speaker and amplifier are not connected correctly, “FAILURE” appears in the display. In this case, make sure the speaker and amplifier are connected correctly.

• If you are to use the monitor for the rear seats, connect the parking brake switch cord to the ground (earth).

See “Power connection diagram” on the reverse side for details.
