6) Cautions on Wiring
1. Be sure to turn the power off when wiring.
2. Be particularly careful where you route the wires.
Keep them well away from the engine, exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires.
3. If fuse is blown, check that the wiring is correct.
If it is, replace the fuse with a new one with the same amperage rating as the original one.
4. To replace the fuse, open the lock on the source unit side, remove the old fuse and insert the
new one. (Figure 6)
* There are various types of fuse cases. Do not let the battery side terminal touch other metal
parts.

9) Connecting to External Ampliers
• Connecting to External Ampliers
External ampliers can be connected to the 4 channel RCA output connections.
Ensure that the connectors are not grounded or shorted to prevent damage to the unit.
• If M608 is connected as a MULTI-ZONE system with Zone 3 and Zone 4 RCAs con-
nected to ampliers, do not switch M608 to STANDARD mode.
Doing so will cause the Zone 3 amplier to reproduce only low frequencies and the
Zone 4 amplier to reproduce full range frequencies at maximum volume.
This may result in potential speaker and/or hearing damage.
• If M608 is connected as a TOWER conguration with Fixed/Zone4 RCAs connected
to an amplier, do not switch M608 to STANDARD mode. Doing so will cause Fixed/
Zone4 amplier to reproduct a full range of frequencies at maximum volume. This may
result in potential speaker and/or hearing damage.
