Select an option:
•
Connect the yellow wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and route
the red signal wire  to the ignition or another manual switch Ã.
• Connect the red wire to the yellow wire, and connect them to the
positive (+) battery terminal.
NOTE: You must install a fuse on all power wires near the connection to
the power source.
Enabling Standby Mode
You can set the stereo to enter a low-power standby mode when you hold
so the stereo takes less than the typical 30 seconds to turn on again.
NOTE: When the stereo is set to use the low-power standby mode, it
continues to draw current from the battery. The maximum current draw in
standby mode is listed in the specifications section.
Select > Settings > Standby Mode.
The stereo now enters standby mode when you hold .
Speaker Zones
You can group speakers in one area into speaker zones. This enables you to
control the audio level of the zones individually. For example, you could make
the audio quieter in the cabin and louder on deck.
Zones 1 and 2 are powered by the on-board amplifier. To use the RCA line
outputs and the RCA subwoofer outputs, you must connect external amplifiers.
You can set the balance, volume limit, subwoofer level, and name for each
zone.
Subwoofer Connection Considerations
This stereo supports output to a powered subwoofer for each zone.
The subwoofer outputs are mono line-level signals tied to the corresponding
zone volume.
A splitter is provided to connect this mono output to the stereo input of a
subwoofer amplifier. Additional splitters (not included) are needed for
additional subwoofer connections.
Speaker Amplifier Connection Considerations
This stereo supports output to an external amplifier for each zone.
The zone outputs are stereo line-level signals tied to the zone volume. A
standard RCA cable (not included) is required to connect each zone output to
an external amplifier.
The blue wire from the wiring harness must be connected to each amplifier to
provide a signal to turn on the amplifier with the stereo. If it is necessary to
split or extend this blue signal wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm2) wire.
Common Connections to the Stereo
You can connect a variety of additional media inputs and outputs to the stereo,
depending on the stereo model and the devices to which you are connecting.
The connectors are color coded to assist you in making the correct
connections. For example, if your TV has RCA line out ports, you can connect
an RCA cable to the AUX IN 1 or AUX IN 2
connector on the stereo. This table
lists some possible ways to connect devices to the stereo.
NOTE: Not all connectors are available on all stereo models.

Ethernet and Wireless Support
You can connect a wireless Ethernet router to the entertainment system to
control the audio with
Wi‑Fi®. You can download free apps from the Apple App
StoreSM for Apple devices. Android™ apps are available through Google Play™.

Audio Return Channel
The Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables you to play the audio from a
television with HDMI technology over the stereo system speakers.
ARC eliminates the need to connect a separate audio cable from the television
to the stereo. Typically, in televisions without ARC, to play the audio from the
television over the stereo system speakers, you would need a separate cable.
With ARC, the HDMI cable sends the television audio to the stereo.
HDMI version 1.4 with ethernet cables support ARC. When planning your
stereo installation, check whether your devices support ARC. Most devices
that support ARC have an ARC label on the HDMI connector that supports
ARC.
