Digital Radio (DAB) Digital Radio (DAB) (Only for DDX4018DAB)

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text and data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.” The “Primary component” (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied by a “secondary component” which can contain extra programs or other information.

Information

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio communication technology for mobile devices such as mobile phones, portable PCs and other devices. Bluetooth devices can be connected without cables and communicate with each other.

Note

• While driving, do not perform complicated operations such as dialing numbers, using the phone book, etc. When you perform these operations, stop your car in a safe place.

• Some Bluetooth devices may not connect to this unit depending on the Bluetooth version of the device.

• This unit may not work for some Bluetooth devices.

• Connecting conditions may vary depending on your environment.

• For some Bluetooth devices, the device is disconnected when the unit is turned off.

• If your mobile phone supports PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile), you can display the following items on the touch panel when the mobile phone is connected.

– Phone book – Dialed calls, received calls, and missed calls (up to

10 entries in total)

Preparation

Connect and install the microphone beforehand. For details, see page 45.

Connection

When you connect a Bluetooth device to the unit for the first time: 1 Register the device by pairing the unit and the

device.

2 Connect the device to the unit. (Page27)

Registering a new Bluetooth device

Pairing allows Bluetooth devices to communicate with each other.

• The pairing method differs depending on the Bluetooth version of the device.

– For devices with Bluetooth 2.1:

You can pair the device and the unit using SSP

(Secure Simple Pairing) which only requires confirmation.

– For devices with Bluetooth 2.0:

You need to enter a PIN code both on the device

and unit for pairing.

• Once the connection is established, it is registered in the unit even if you reset the unit. Up to five devices can be registered in total.

• Two devices for Bluetooth phone and one for Bluetooth audio can be connected at a time. However, when “BT Audio” is selected as the source, you can connect up to five Bluetooth audio devices and switch between these five devices.

• To use the Bluetooth function, you need to turn on the Bluetooth function of the device.

Remote ControllerRemote Controller

• The position of the remote control mode switch is indicated in the title of each mode, e.g., “AUD mode”.

• When controlling a player that is not integrated in the unit, select “AUD” mode.

CAUTION

• Put the Remote Controller in a place where it will not move during braking or other operations. A dangerous situation could result if the Remote Controller falls down and gets wedged under the pedals while driving.

• Do not leave the battery near fire or under direct sunlight. A fire, explosion or excessive heat generation may result.

• Do not recharge, short, break up or heat the battery, or place it in an open fire. Such actions may cause the battery to leak fluid. If spilled fluid comes in contact with your eyes or clothing, immediately rinse with water and consult a physician.

• Place the battery out of reach of children. In the unlikely event that a child swallows the battery, immediately consult a physician.

Installation and ConnectionInstallation and Connection

WARNINGS

• DO NOT connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire.

• DO NOT cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow). The power supply must be connected to the wires via the fuse.

• Always connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the power source running through the fuse box.

CAUTIONS

• Install this unit in the console of your car.

• Do not touch the metal parts of this unit during and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal parts such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.

• When parking at a low ceiling area, turn off the unit to store the antenna. As when the unit is installed in the car with the function of auto antenna; the radio antenna extends automatically when you turn on the unit with the antenna control wire (ANT. CONT) connected. (Page45)

Before installation

Precautions on installation and connection

• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For best safety, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.

• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.

• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.

• Do not install the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

• Do not press hard on the panel surface when installing the unit to the car. Otherwise scratches, damage, or failure may result.

• If the power is not turned on (“Miswiring DC Offset Error”, “Warning DC Offset Error” is displayed), the speaker wire may have a short circuit or have touched the chassis of the car and the protection function may have been activated. In this case, the speaker wire should be checked.

• Keep all cables away from heat dissipating metal parts.

• If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, such as with battery wires, the battery may be drained.

• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.

• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps and do not let the cable out at the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.

• Secure the wires with cable clamps and wrap vinyl tape around the wires that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wires and to prevent short circuit.

• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the them to any metal part in the car.

• When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect both connectors either to the front output terminals or to the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the ª connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the · connector to a rear output terminal.
