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.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
If you are connecting your GD9600 for the first time or have just reconnected your boat battery and you are experiencing problems with the unit’s operation, we suggest you try resetting the unit. The reset button is located under the volume face panel. Gently press the reset button with a paper clip or similar object.
Reset Button
The preset station memories and clock time are retained only while the yellow ‘Memory 12 V+’ lead is connected (see Electrical Wiring section). If the battery is disconnected or switched off at the master switch, or the unit is removed from the vessel, the station memories will be lost and the clock will need to be reset.

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).

* Use the rubber mounting gasket supplied. Place the gasket
between the plastic housing and the mounting surface. This will improve the contact between the mounting surface and stereo housing.
BRACKET MOUNTING - GD9640
1. Attach the GD9640 to the mounting bracket using the two gimbal knobs.
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.
Your GD9640 can now be flush mounted. Replacement screw caps have been provided to cover the exposed screw heads.
