Installation
This unit is designed to operate on 12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground
electrical systems. If your vehicle does not have this system, a
voltage inverter is required, which can be purchased at JVC car
audio dealers.
Warnings
• To prevent short circuits:
– Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.
– Cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating.
• Connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W (impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). Otherwise,
change the <AMP GAIN> setting. (See “Menu operations: <AMP GAIN>” on page 3.)
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
