Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One  
that lets the sound come through loud and clear 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.  
To establish a safe level:  
Start your volume control at a low setting.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After  
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Associations Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged  
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Connecting the Units  
Note:  
This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and  
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-  
ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery  
voltage.  
When this product’s source is switched ON, a con-  
trol signal is output through the blue/white lead.  
Connect to an external power amp’s system remote  
control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay control ter-  
minal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features  
a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster  
power supply terminal.  
When an external power amp is being used with  
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white  
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not  
connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal  
of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause  
excessive current drain and malfunction.  
To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected  
lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the  
unused speaker leads without fail. There is a possi-  
bility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insulat-  
ed.  
If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not  
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition  
switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected  
to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF  
operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery  
may be drained when you are away from the vehi-  
cle for several hours. (Fig. 1)  
To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to  
disconnect the battery cable before beginning  
installation.  
Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-  
necting the power amp and other units, then make  
connections correctly.  
Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive  
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape  
around them where they lie against metal parts.  
Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any  
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and  
seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get  
hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation  
of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of  
the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.  
Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the  
engine compartment to connect to the battery. This  
will damage the lead insulation and cause a very  
dangerous short.  
Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection  
circuit may fail to work when it should.  
Never feed power to other equipment by cutting  
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit  
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of  
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.  
When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of  
the rating prescribed on this unit.  
Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never  
wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or  
the left and right speaker leads are common.  
If you ground the products together and the ground  
becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the  
products or fire.  
ACC position  
No ACC position  
Fig. 1  
The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead  
separately from the ground of high-current prod-  
ucts such as power amps.  
If you ground the products together and the  
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam-  
age to the products or fire.  
Speakers connected to this unit must be high-  
power types with minimum rating of 50 W and  
impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers  
with output and/or impedance values other than  
those noted here may result in the speakers catch-  
ing fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.  
Cords for this product and those for other prod-  
ucts may be different colors even if they have the  
same function. When connecting this product to  
another product, refer to the supplied Installation  
manuals of both products and connect cords that  
have the same function.

Installation  
Note:  
Before finally installing the unit, connect the  
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected  
up properly, and the unit and the system work  
properly.  
If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal,  
the unit might not give its optimum performance.  
(Fig. 3)  
Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure  
proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts  
can cause malfunctions.  
Consult with your nearest dealer if installation  
requires the drilling of holes or other modifications  
of the vehicle.  
Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s  
way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a  
sudden stop, like an emergency stop.  
The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it  
overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot  
— for instance, near a heater outlet.

DIN Front/Rear-mount  
This unit can be properly installed either from “Front” (conventional DIN Front-mount) or  
“Rear” (DIN Rear-mount installation, utilizing threaded screw holes at the sides of unit  
chassis). For details, refer to the following illustrated installation methods.
