SRS airbag may not operate correctly or the portable audio device may be catapulted outward by the deploying airbag, which may result in serious injury or death. *Refer to the owner's manual for your car regarding the deploying position of the SRS airbag.
¡ Please or temporarily fix the portable audio device and mini-plug cable where they will not interfere the
driver when driving. Otherwise, they may interfere driving or cause auto accident.
Connecting with the portable audio player
The AUX input terminal is equipped on the front panel. This jack is used to connect a portable audio device using a standard mini-plug cable. By connecting a commercially available portable audio device, this unit can play the music recorded on the device.
The AUX Input Example:
Main Unit CQ-5100U
Front AUX IN (3.5 mm ø stereo)
3.5 mm ø stereo mini-plug cable (Option)
Caution
• Set the volume level to low enough before the AUX connection is completed. Failure to observe this may cause loud noise and, consequently, damage your speakers and your hearing.
• Do not connect this AUX directly with a speaker/ headphone output. Failure to observe this may distort sound and break the internal amplifier.
Silicon audio player, HDD audio player etc. (Option)
Stereo line out (3.5 mm ø)
Notes:
• When the high impedance output enuipment such as old type audio equipment with an output transformer is connected, sound may be distorted or become extremely low levels.
• The connected audio equipment should be kept away from the speakers.
• Be sure that your hand does not catch and yank the mini-plug cable.
