Connections
In the following, "NW" represents network
mode and "STD" represents standard
mode. According to the connections you
have established, change the speaker
mode to standard mode (STD) or network
mode (NW) (page 5).
• When speaker output is used by 4
channels, use speakers over 50 W
(maximum input power) and between 4
Ω to 8 Ω (impedance value). Do not use 1
Ω to 3 Ω speakers for this unit.
• When rear speaker output is used by 2 Ω
of subwoofer, use speakers over 70 W
(maximum input power).
* Please refer to connections for a
connection method.
• 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 di fferent screws. If
the screw for the ground wire loosens or
falls out, it could result in fire, generation
of smoke or malfunction.
• 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.
• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding only. Failure to do so
may result in a fire or malfunction.
• To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or
malfunction, be sure to follow the
direction s below.
– Disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery before installation.
– Secure the wiring with cable clamps or
adhesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape
around wiring that comes into contact
with metal parts to protect the wiring.
– Place all cables away from moving par ts,
such as the shift lever 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
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. 300mA 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.

To secure the front panel
The front panel can be secured with the
supplied screw.
Installing the microphone
The microphone should be placed directly
in front of the driver at a suitable distance
to pick up their voice clearly.
It is extremely dangerous to allow the
microphone lead to become wound
around the steering column or shift lever.
Be sure to install the microphone in such a
way that it will not obstruct driving. I t is
recommended to use the clamps (sold
separately) to arrange the le ad.
Depending on the vehicle model, the
microphone cable length may be too short
when you mount the microphone on the
sun visor. In such cases, install the
microphone on the steering column.
To install on the sun visor
1 Fit the microphone lead into the
groove.
2 Install the microphone clip on the sun
visor.
Lowering the sun visor reduces the
voice recognition rate.
To install on the steering
column
1 Sl ide the microphone base to detach it
from the microphone clip.
