Connections/Installation

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 d ifferent 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 (accessor y) position on
the igniti on 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
directions 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 w iring.

– 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.

21En

– Do not connect the yellow cable to the

Important

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.

• The graphical symbol placed on

the product means direct current.
