RESET BUTTON
A RESET button is located on the front of the chassis. The re-set circuitry is provided
to protect the microprocessor circuitry and should only be activated under the
following circumstance: If there is a malfunction of the switches on the unit or
the CD player, pressing the RESET button may clear the system and return to
normal
MOD BUTTON
Pressing this button to cyclically change function Radio-CD-Aux-Radio
START BUTTON (M1)
Pressing this button during CD play will set the unit to play from beginning of track 1.
SCAN BUTTON (M2)
To "Intro" each song on the disc for 10 seconds, press the " INTRO" button. INT will

Voltage
The voltage of a fully charged battery ( engine not running ) is
approximately 12.5 VDC. Once a load (items being powered represent the
"load" ) is applied , the voltage will drop. How much the voltage is reduced will
depend on the following:
1. Current draw (amount of amperage) The higher the draw the
greater the voltage will drop.
2. The size and length of the conductor (wire) supplying power.
Converters
Many boats incorporate convertors as a source for 12VDC when
connected to shore power (110-120 VAC).Some converters put out a very
clean DC supply where others may have a considerable amount of AC
ripple noise under maximum load.
The AC ripple noise is filtered by the boat battery when connected
into the circuit , but when the battery is disconnected the amount of
AC ripple noise can create major problems for audio products. Noise
may result and the line fuse may fail
Ignition systems
Unwanted noise generated from ignition systems used to be a big
problem. However, with more sophisticated filtering circuits designed into
audio/video products, these problems are not as wide spread
Changes in wire harnessing also has contributed to the decline of
application problems. Use the same ground point for all related products. This
will greatly reduce the potential for unwanted noise.
Your MS160 radio is designed to control an optional 10 Disc CD changer ( Model ACC56M ) . If you are interested in
purchasing this CD changer, please visit your local marine
dealer . Professional installation of the CD changer is
recommended.

APPLICATION NOTES
AM/FM RECEPTION
Some boats have more than one
AM/FM radio.The best way to insure
good reception is to supply a
separate antenna for each radio.
Other options available to supply
adequate AM/FM reception to these
radios are listed below, along
some general information in
to radio reception.
"Y"ADAPTORS
The "Y" adaptors used to connect
one antenna to two radios will
compromise both AM and FM
reception.
AMPLIFIED AM/FM ANTENNA
A popular second antenna that
can be used is our AB-100 amplified
AM/FM antenna . It is small and
has a retractable mast that can be
mounted vertically or horizontally.
This antenna provides
reception , but the AM reception will
be compromised to some degree
because of the length
MAST LENGTH
AM/FM antennas compromise
AM reception by design . The
optimum mast length for FM is
approximately 30 inches which is
the standard for most automotive
antennas. The optimum mast length
for AM reception is over 100 inches
which is not practical for mobile
applications.
Special circuitry in electronic
tuned radios or AM trimmers in
mechanically tuned radios, make
up for some of this difference in
optimum mast length for AM
reception.
regards
good FM
of the mast.
with
ANTENNA CABLE
Increasing the antenna lead
cable ( adding extensions ) will
reduce sensitivity of AM with
electronic tuned radios.
GROUND PLANES
Ground planes are also
important when considering
antenna performance. Most
automotive antennas are
designed to be mounted on the
metal body of the vehicle.
The metal body reflects the
signal interference generated by
the vehicle's electrical system
while it also provides the ground for
the antenna lead shield. All this is
necessary in order to maintain a
good signal, especially AM.
FM RECEPTION
FM reception can be received
with a very limited antenna and
strong local FM stations can be
received without an antenna ,
depending on the circumstances.
CONCLUSION:
AM/FM reception is subject to
the choice of an antenna and it's
application. There can also be a
variety of methods used to supply
signal to both primary and
secondary radios , but AM
performance is the ultimate "test"
