□ Use This Equipment Safely
When Driving
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic conditions.
When Car Washing
Do not expose the equipment, including the speakers and tapes, to water or excessive moisture. This could
cause electrical shorts, fire, or other damage.
When Parked
Parking in direct sunlight can produce very high temperatures inside your vehicle. Give the interior a chance
to cool down before switching the unit on.
Use the Proper Power Supply
This equipment is designed to operate off a 12 volt, negative ground battery system (the normal system in a
North American car.)
Protect the Tape Mechanism
Keep magnets, screwdrivers, or other metallic objects away from the tape mechanism and tape head to pre
vent poor performance or malfunctions.
Use Authorized Servicenters
Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust this precision equipment. Please refer to the Servicenter list includ
ed with this product for service assistance.
Find the model number and serial number on either the back or bottom of the unit. Please record them in the

You’ll need a screwdriver, a 1.5 volt AA battery, and
the following;
as possible) so that you can work with individual
leads.

□ Identify All Leads
The first step in installation is to identify all the vehi
cle wires you’ll use when hooking up your sound
system.
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label
it using masking tape and a permanent marker. This
will help avoid confusion when making connections
later.
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the
stereo unit until you have made all connections. If
there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking
wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape
until you are ready to use them. Identify the leads in
the following order.
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet that
causes the test bulb to light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb
also turns off and on, that outlet is the vehicle
power lead.
If your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio
(RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN).
Battery Lead
If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need
to locate the car's battery lead. Otherwise you may
ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead pro
vides continuous power to maintain a clock, memo
ry storage, or other function.)
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one;
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car
battery lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb
to the chassis and checking the remaining exposed
wires from the cut radio connector plug.
If your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit;
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery, usually marked BAT.
Power Lead
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one :

CÛ-E15EUC
Speakers
Identify the car speaker leads. There will be two
leads for each speaker, usually color coded.
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the
speaker they connect with is to test the leads using
a 1.5 volt AA battery as follows.
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and
stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will
hear a scraping sound in a speaker if you are hold
ing a speaker lead.
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until
you have located all the speaker leads. When you
label them, include the speaker location for each.
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram
below for the proper hookups. Follow the diagram
carefully to avoid damaging the speakers and the
stereo unit.
The speaker used must be able to handle more
than 25 watts of audio power. If using an optional
audio power, the speakers should be able to handle
the maximum amplifier output power. Speakers
with low input ratings can be damaged.
Antenna Motor
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic power
antenna, identify the vehicle motor antenna lead by
connecting one bulb tester lead to the vehicle bat
tery lead and touching the remaining exposed wires
from the cut radio connector plug one at a time. You
will hear the antenna motor activate when you touch
the correct wire.
Antenna
The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal
plug at the end.
□ Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the ve
hicle, you're ready to begin connecting them to the
stereo unit wires. The connection diagram on Page
26 shows the proper connections and color coding
of the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit be
fore making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make tempo
rary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape
to cover all exposed wires.
Speaker impedance should measure 4 - 8 ohms,
which is typically marked on most speakers, Lower
or higher impedance speakers will affect output and
can cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.
CAUTION ; Never ground the speaker cords. For
example, do not use a chassis ground system or a
three-wire speaker common system. Each speaker
must be connected separately using parallel insulat
ed wires. If in doubt about how your car's speakers
are wired, please consult with your nearest profes
sional installer.

Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
continued
□ Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connec
tion is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires
and fasten them with tape so they won't fall down
later. Now insert the stereo unit into the mounting
collar.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead
into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as amplifier,
according to the instructions furnished with the
equipment. Keep about 12 inches (30 cm) of dis
tance between the speaker cords/amplifier unit and
the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the op
erating and installation instructions for any equip
ment you will connect to this unit.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct vehicle
radio wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
block.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and pro
ceed to the final installation.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you’re ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.
□ Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connect
ed and insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held
in the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for prop
er operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest autho
rized professional installer for assistance.
