iN T rO d uC T i ON
Congratulations on the purchase of the GME GD9600 series Marine Stereo system, arguably the finest marine audio product available today. Your GD9600 has been designed with both the music buff and boat owner in mind.
The GD9600 series has been developed by utilising a combination of the very latest in digital electronic technology and the design expertise gained by GME engineers over several decades of marine product development. With all circuitry conformally coated, exposed metalwork protected against the harsh marine environment and contained in a UV stabilised water resistant polycarbonate housing, the GD9600 will ensure many years of reliable service.
Ever attentive to customer needs, GME offers the GD9600 in two discrete configurations. For the smaller vessel where exposure to the elements is greater, the fully enclosed GD9640 is ideal, for larger cruisers or yachts where bulkhead installation is the preferred option, the GD9620 is the perfect solution.
The GD9600 has all the attributes expected in a superior stereo system, furthermore, the industry first inclusions of SD and USB inputs and iPod® compatibility, will ensure the GD9600 is destined to become the standard by which all marine stereo systems are measured.
Read this instruction booklet carefully, drop in your favourite music selection, sit back and enjoy the sounds that cannot fail to impress even the most critical audiophile.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND MODEL DESIGNATORS
The GD9600 series is available in the following formats:
GD9620W (White) and GD9620B (Black)
Designed for flush mounting into bulkheads or dashboards where the rear case of the product is not exposed to any water ingress or moisture. The GD9620 has a semi open rear case to permit heat dissipation generated by operating the system at high volumes for extended periods of time.
GD9640W (White) and GD9640B (Black)
Designed with a fully enclosed waterproof marine housing to enable installation on open boats or in areas where occasional water exposure is possible. The GD9640 utilises GME’s unique ‘Big Gun’ custom heat dissipater to avoid any overheating or component damage in situations of prolonged use at high volumes or in areas of high ambient temperatures.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Your GD9600 uses optical laser technology. Occasionally damp or humid conditions may cause condensation to appear on the lenses inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit might not operate correctly. Simply eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a while until the moisture evaporates.
LOCATION
The GD9600 is available in a range of mounting configurations to enable it to be installed in the most convenient position. GME recommends that the unit should be mounted in a position that is free from direct sunlight and excessive vibration.
Note. The GD9600 should not be mounted at angles greater than 30° above or below the horizontal.
FLUSH MOUNTING - GD9620
The GD9620 can be neatly flush mounted into a panel or bulkhead so that just the controls and the protective cover are visible.
Using the template provided, select a suitable location on a panel or bulkhead. Examine behind the panel to determine the best method of support. If the thickness of the panel is not sufficient to support the unit, it will be necessary to use the strap supplied (see following diagrams).

2. Temporarily position the GD9640 in the desired location and roughly mark the location of the bracket edges. Now, remove the unit from the bracket and reposition the bracket at the desired location to mark the mounting hole positions.
3. Screw or bolt the bracket into position. The mounting method will depend on the material to which the bracket is being attached.
4. Refit the GD9640 into the bracket and adjust to the desired angle before tightening the gimbal knobs.
5. Complete the antenna lead and electrical wiring as described later.
For overhead mounting, the GME logos on the side of each bracket can be rotated as shown right.
FLUSH MOUNTING - GD9640
Although the GD9640 is a bracket mounted unit, it can be flush mounted by following the disassembly instructions below.
1. Remove the 4 screws from each cable clamp panel at rear.
2. Remove the screw from the centre of the heat
dissipater and remove.
3. Remove the 4 screw caps and 4 screws from the front case and slide the unit out completely.

ELECTRICAL WIRING
DC Connections
Caution:
The GD9600 is designed for vessels with a 12 Volt
negative ground electrical system only!
Referring to the wiring diagram below:
1. Connect the Yellow wire directly to the positive terminal
of the vessel’s battery, or to a point that has +12 Volts available at all times. This lead maintains the memories within the GD9600 and is the main power source for the unit.
2. Connect the RED wire to the vessels +12 V supply via
an appropriate isolating switch or circuit breaker. This lead enables the radio to be switched ON and OFF. Alternatively, this wire can be connected directly to the battery’s positive terminal and the GD9600 switched ON and OFF using it’s own controls.
YELLOW
RED
Important: Your GD9600 is able to maintain it’s memories when it is switched off using the PWR button by drawing power directly from your battery via the YELLOW ‘MEMORY 12 V+’ lead. Although the memory backup current is very small (about 20 mA) it may eventually discharge your battery if left connected indefinitely. The time taken to completely discharge your battery could vary depending on its Amp-hour rating and battery condition.
If you do not run your boat’s motor regularly or your battery is not kept charged between outings (e.g. Solar or wind charger), we recommend you disconnect the YELLOW lead each time you secure or trail your boat. This is easily done by connecting the YELLOW ‘MEMORY 12 V+’ lead via a Master switch, which can be switched off after each outing. This will mean you will lose all your preset station memories and clock settings.
The blue wire on the wiring loom supplies 12 Volts when the GD9600 is switched on and can be used to turn on an external device, like the GME GA9800 marine amplifier, or enable the back light on the GME RCU9200 wired remote

requires 2 separate wires for each speaker.
A range of GME speakers are available from your local GME retailer.
Speaker Connections
When connecting the speakers, observe the correct polarity as shown in the diagram below. Incorrect polarity will result in a reduction of bass response and stereo effect. The use of speakers with an impendance of less than 4 Ohms is not recommended, as they will cause excessive loading of the GD9600’s output circuit and may result with the radio overheating.

USB
The USB Input accepts USB flash memory drives loaded with MP3 files. Max USB memory size that can be used is 16GB. When using the USB input we recommend using the USB adapter AD003 supplied as a standard accessory with your GD9600. This allows the transparent front cover to be fully closed to avoid any possibility of water ingress.
When the USB input is in use, ‘USB’ is added to the options on the MOD button.
Note: The USB input is not designed to be connected to the USB port of a external MP3 player. External MP3 players should be connected to the AUX input via an audio interface cable.
SD Card
The SD card slot accepts SD and SDHC memory cards up to 16 GB.
When the SD card slot is in use, ‘CARD’ is added to the options on the MOD button.
Aux Input
The GD9600 has a 2.5 mm stereo jack low level (1 Volt peak to peak) audio input socket on the front panel. Owners may use this input for external audio sources that they wish to play through the vessel’s stereo system.
GME offers a custom interface cable for a personel MP3 player connection; Part # LE68. When using this cable, it is necessary to use the portable device functions to control play.
CONNECTING AN iPod*
The GD9600 can be connected directly to an iPod via the optional LE023 iPod interface lead. The interface lead connects to the iPod fly lead at the rear of the GD9600 and provides a direct connection to the interface socket on the iPod. The cable is compatible with the current iPod Nano, Classic, Touch and iPhone models.
When an iPod is connected the GD9600 displays IPOD. Album and song selections can be made from the GD9600 or directly from the iPod itself. Any selections will be displayed on the iPod screen.
To make individual selections from the GD9600 controls press the AMS button. ‘Menu’ is displayed on the GD9600. During this time, press the AMS button to step back through the iPod screen menus, rotate the Volume control to highlight items on the iPod screen and press BND to make a selection. To exit the GD9600’s iPod ‘Menu’ function press SEL or wait a few seconds and the menu will time-out. Normal AMS, Volume and BND functions will resume.
To select another song press
or to step forward or
back through the song list.
The iPod battery will be charged while it is connected to the GD9600.
REAR OUTPUTS AND INPUTS
The GD9600 has Audio outputs plus Video inputs and outputs. These inputs and outputs are clearly labelled and colour coded, they are also identified in the wiring diagram shown on page 8 of this manual.
