Welcome!
What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's
manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this book
clear and easy to follow.
For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed
correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new
stereo like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these
instructions before you begin the installation. Most
installations are straightforward and can be handled by a
do-it-yourselfer with the right tools, patience, and the ability
to follow instructions. But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for
everyone. If you still don't feel confident after reading this
book, consider turning the installation job over to someone
better suited to it.
Warranty Service
If your Jensen stereo should ever require service, you will
need to have the original dated receipt. If you ever need to
return the unit for any reason, always include the receipt
with the product.

Installation
Before You Begin Installation
Before you begin, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have
everything you need before you take your dashboard apart.
CR560X
Tools and Supplies Needed
Basic Installation:
• Flat and Phillips screwdrivers
• Wire cutter
• Wire stripper
• Tools to remove existing radio (screw-
driver, socket wrench set or other tools)
• Radio removal tool
• Electrical tape
Advanced Installation:
• Soldering iron
• Crimping tool
• Volt meter or 12 volt test light
• Solder
• Crimp connectors
• 14-18 gauge wire for power connections
• Speaker wire
Speaker Requirements
Only connect the CR560X to speakers rated in
the load impedance range of 4 to 8 ohms.
Speakers with a load impedance less than 4
ohms could damage the CR560X.
Adapters for Easier Installation
Electrical and dashboard adapters make
installation easier. Purchase adapters from
your local Jensen retailer, electronics store or
car stereo specialty store.
Wiring Harness Adapter
For a basic installation, you can purchase a
wiring harness adapter for your car's existing
radio connectors. This makes installation easy.
Dashboard Adapters
The opening in your dashboard may not match
the size of your Jensen radio. Purchase an
adapter kit for your car.
Antenna Adapter (GM cars)
1990 and newer GM cars have a small
antenna connector. You will need an adapter
when installing this radio in a newer GM car.

Professional Tip
Connections
Good wire connections are very important for
best sound and long-term reliability. Here are
two methods:
Splice
1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Wrap wires together
3. Fold wires over
4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.
Splice
Strip Wire

Solder
Solder is the best way to connect wires, but it
takes skill and practice. Splice the wires (as
shown above). Before taping, heat the wires
(not the solder). When the wires are hot
enough, touch the solder to the splice. The
solder will flow over the wires. Stretch
electrical tape tightly over splice.
Important:
Be very careful when soldering wires in your
car. Cover nearby carpeting and seats to
prevent damage from hot solder.

Professional Tip
Crimp Connections
Purchase crimp connectors and crimping
tool. Connectors are color coded. This
Jensen radio uses RED connectors (18-20
gauge wire).
1. Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from
both wires.
2. Insert into connector.
3. Crimp tightly.
You can make permanent splices (using
butt connectors) or select connectors that
can be removed and reinstalled.

Professional Tip
Upgrading Your System
International Jensen makes a wide range of
car stereo products that will make your car
system sound better, great or INCREDIBLE!
Better Sound
Install a Jensen tape deck or CD player like
you’re doing now. High power units can
make your existing speakers sound better
and play louder.
Great Sound
Replace your existing speakers with Jensen
speakers. Many of our speakers will fit into
your car without cutting or drilling. You can
also add an amplified graphic equalizer to
tailor the sound to your liking.
INCREDIBLE Sound
Jensen offers a full line of amplifiers, highpower speakers and subwoofers that can
turn your car into audio dynamite. You can
go loud, louder and loudest by selecting
Jensen components from your retailer.

Wiring with a Wiring Adapter
This is the easiest wiring method, because it replaces your existing radio. You will have to buy a wire
harness adapter from your dealer, a car stereo installation shop or electronics store. If you use a wiring
adapter, you can connect all wires to the radio before you even start to take your old radio out.
Connect Wires
Splice, crimp or solder the wires from the
Jensen connector to the wiring adapter. Match
the wires according to the chart (below) and
the wiring adapter instructions.
Splices
You can make all
these connections
without even being
in the car.

Fuses
When replacing a fuse, make sure new fuse
is correct type and amperage. Using an
incorrect fuse could damage radio. The
CR560X uses two fuses with in-line
fuse holders as part of rear wiring harness:
• 5 amp fast blow AGC (yellow wire).
• .5 amp fast blow AGC (red wire).

Professional Tip
Securing Wires
Be proud of your installation! Use wire ties to
bundle wires together when possible. (But
never bundle speaker wires and power wires
together!)
Secure loose wires to the car to make sure
they don’t rub or rattle.
