Precautions

Unit is designed for negative ground 12 V DC systems only

The unit cannot be used in trucks or other cars with 24 V systems. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and damage.

Do not disassemble or remodel the unit

This can cause electric shock, personal injury or fire. Do not connect any other system’s power supply cord to this unit’s power supply cord directly. If you are in any doubt about the safe installation of this unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Do not install in locations which interfere with airbag operation

Otherwise there is a risk of accidents and injury.

Use only the specified fuse

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a fuse of the same rating (ampere rating). Otherwise there is a risk of fire.

On safety

Comply with the Traffic Laws in your country.

Do not block ventilation

If the unit is placed under the floor carpet, floor mat, or otherwise covered, the ventilation openings and heat sink cannot provide sufficient cooling, leading to overheating and the risk of fire or serious accidents.

Cautions

• Do not get the wires under a screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g. seat railing).

• Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits.

• Connect the yellow and red power input leads only after all other leads have been connected.

• Run all ground wires to a common ground

point.

• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected wires with electrical tape for safety.

Notes on the power supply cord (yellow)

• When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the connected car circuit’s rating must be higher than the sum of each component’s fuse.

• When no car circuits are rated high enough, connect the unit directly to the battery.

1 Installing the Main Unit

Installation angle

The unit should be installed within an angle of 25 degrees from horizontal. If this angle is exceeded, the monitor may not open up or retract properly.

Note

Keep the units and connection cables apart. The Media Center main unit and the connection box 1 should not be in close proximity.

Before installation

This unit is designed to be completely safe, but if not installed correctly, it can cause accidents. Be sure to verify the following points before installation. Install the main unit to the in-dash location, and the connection box under the navigator’s seat, etc.

• If the monitor in the opened position is close to a airconditioning outlet, the outlet should be closed.

• Install the unit so that the monitor when opened up will not block access to the hazard switch or other important controls.

• Do not install the unit (monitor) in locations which may be subject to excessively low or high temperatures. (Otherwise the unit may be deformed and the LCD may be damaged.) Exposure to direct sunlight can also lead to high temperatures and should be avoided.

Selecting the installation location

Set the ignition key to OFF or remove it.

Place the units in their intended mounting

locations to check the cable length and monitor installation conditions.

Frequency select switch

The AM (FM) tuning interval is factory-set to the 9 k (50 k) position. If the frequency allocation system of your country is based on 10 kHz (200 kHz) interval, set the switch on the bottom of the unit to the 10 k (200 k) position before making connections.

FM 200k AM 10k FM 50k AM 9k

Note

If the installation dimensions shown at right are not observed, the monitor may not open up smoothly. If this happens, check the installation once more and modify the cluster panel where the dimension requirements are not met. For some car models, a separately available mounting kit may be required. (For details, please consult your dealer.)
