Important

! When installing this unit in a vehicle without

an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, failure to connect the red cable to the terminal that detects operation of the ignition key may result in battery drain.

POWER AMP

— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or ad-

hesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wiring.

— Place all cables away from moving parts,

such as the gear shift and seat rails.

— Place all cables away from hot places,

such as near the heater outlet.

— Do not connect the yellow cable to the bat-

tery by passing it through the hole to the engine compartment.

— Cover any disconnected cable connectors

with insulating tape.

— Do not shorten any cables. — Never cut the insulation of the power cable

of this unit in order to share the power with other devices. The current capacity of the cable is limited.

— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed. — Never wire the negative speaker cable di-

rectly to ground.

— Never band together negative cables of

multiple speakers.

! When this unit is on, control signals are sent

through the blue/white cable. Connect this cable to the system remote control of an external power amp or the vehicle’s auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect it to the antenna booster power supply terminal.

! Never connect the blue/white cable to the

power terminal of an external power amp. Also, never connect it to the power terminal of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in battery drain or a malfunction.

DualDiscs

DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for video on the other. Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be possible to play the CD side with this unit. Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can lead to playback problems on this unit. In some cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit. Please refer to the information from the disc manufacturer for more detailed information about DualDiscs.
