Welcome!

What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's
manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this owner's
manual clear and easy to follow . If you take a few minutes to
look through it, you'll learn how to use all of the features on
your new Jensen marine stereo for maximum enjoyment.

For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed
correctly . The enclosed installation 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.
