Notes on speaker connection
• Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and with adequate power handling capacities. Otherwise, the speakers may
be damaged.
• Do not connect the terminals of the speaker system to the car chassis, and do not connect the terminals of the right speaker
with those of the left speaker.
• Do not attempt to connect the speakers in parallel.
• Do not connect any active speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals of the unit. Doing so may damage the
active speakers. Therefore, be sure to connect passive speakers to these terminals.
For connecting two or more changers, the source selector XA-U20 (optional) and the BUS cable RC-61 (1 m) or RC-62 (2 m)
(optional) are necessary.
