The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it
at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come
through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting
your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving.
Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
! Set your volume control at a low setting.
! Slowly increase the sound until you can hear
it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
! Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
! Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
! Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
! Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.

WARNING
! Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and
between 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do
not use 1 W to 3 W speakers for this unit.
! The black cable is ground. When installing
this unit or power amp (sold separately),
make sure to connect the ground wire first.
Ensure that the ground wire is properly connected to metal parts of the car ’s body. The
ground wire of the power amp and the one of
this unit or any other device must be connected to the car separately with different
screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire, generation of smoke or malfunction.

! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-
tive grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.
! To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-
function, be sure to follow the directions
below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the bat-
tery before installation.
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe-
sive 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 battery
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 directly
to ground.
— Never band together negative cables of multi-
ple 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.

Handling guidelines
Discs and player
Use only discs that feature either of the following
two logos.
Use 12-cm discs. Do not use 8-cm discs or an
adapter for 8-cm discs.
Use only conventional, fully circular discs. Do not
use shaped discs.
Do not insert anything other than a CD into the
CD loading slot.
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may damage the player.
Unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs cannot be played
back.
Do not touch the recorded surface of the discs.
Store discs in their cases when not in use.
Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals
to the surface of the discs.
To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward from the center.
Condensation may temporarily impair the player ’s
performance. Let it rest for about one hour to adjust to a warmer temperature. Also, wipe any
damp discs off with a soft cloth.
Playback of discs may not be possible because of
disc characteristics, disc format, recorded application, playback environment, storage conditions,
and so on.
Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
USB storage device
Connections via USB hub are not supported.
Do not connect anything other than a USB storage device.
Firmly secure the USB storage device when driving. Do not let the USB storage device fall onto the
floor, where it may become jammed under the
brake or accelerator pedal.
Depending on the USB storage device, the following problems may occur.
! Operations may vary.
! The storage device may not be recognized.
! Files may not be played back properly.
! The device may generate noise in the radio.
iPod
Do not leave the iPod in places with high temperatures.
To ensure proper operation, connect the dock connector cable from the iPod directly to this unit.
Firmly secure the iPod when driving. Do not let the
iPod fall onto the floor, where it may become
jammed under the brake or accelerator pedal.
About iPod settings
! When an iPod is connected, this unit changes
the EQ (equalizer) setting of the iPod to off in
order to optimize the acoustics. When you disconnect the iPod, the EQ returns to the original
setting.
! You cannot set Repeat to off on the iPod when
using this unit. Repeat is automatically
changed to All when the iPod is connected to
this unit.
Incompatible text saved on the iPod will not be displayed by the unit.
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.
