WARNINGS  
• DO NOT install any unit and wire any cable in locations where;  
– it may obstruct the steering wheel and gearshift lever operations, as this may result in a traffic  
accident.  
Double-sided adhesive tape  
– it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags, as this may result in a fatal accident.  
– it may obstruct visibility.  
• DO NOT operate any unit while manipulating the steering wheel, as this may result in a traffic accident.  
• The driver must not watch the monitor while driving. If the driver watches the monitor while driving, it  
may lead to carelessness and cause an accident.  
Remote controller  
• The driver must not put on the headphones while driving. It is dangerous to shut off the outside sounds  
while driving.  
• If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look around carefully or you may be involved in  
a traffic accident.  
• If the parking brake is not engaged, “Parking Brake” flashes on the monitor, and no playback picture  
will be shown.  
Install the unit at an angle of less than 30˚,  
taking it into account that the monitor  
would eject when in use.  
Required space for the monitor ejection  
– This warning appears only when the parking brake wire is connected to the parking brake system  
built in the car.  
Notes on electrical connections:  
Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows  
frequently, consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum  
power of more than 50 W (both at the rear and at the front,  
30˚  
90.4  
160  
Unit: mm  
with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω).  
If the maximum power is less than 50 W, change “Amplifier  
Heat sink  
Gain” setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 60 of the INSTRUCTIONS).  
To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.  
The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.

PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections:  
• DO NOT connect the speaker leads of the power cord to the car battery; otherwise, the unit will be seriously damaged.  
• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the speaker wiring in your car.  
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.  
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.  
Before connecting: Check the wiring in the vehicle carefully. Incorrect connection may cause serious damage to this unit.  
The leads of the power cord and those of the connector from the car body may be different in color.  
1Connect the colored leads of the power cord in the order specified in the illustration below.  
2Connect the aerial cord and TV aerials. (For installing and attaching the TV aerials, see diagram Å on page 3.)

Aerial cords  
Attach the aerials only to the inside of the front window glass  
(so as not to obstruct your visibility through the window).  
• Do not rub the aerials or the aerials’ cords with alcohol,  
benzine, thinner, gasoline or other volatile substances.  
• Be sure to wipe the window surface where the aerials will be  
attached with the cleaner (supplied) to remove moisture, dirt,  
dust, wax, oil or other substances.

• The windows with windshield heating, wave insulated, or  
thermally insulated screen will interfere with signal reception.  
Consult your JVC car audio dealer.  
• Aerial cords are  
identical both for  
the left and right TV  
aerials.  
• For connecting the TV aerials to the unit, see page 2.  
Attaching the TV aerials  
Before attaching:  
• Identify the exact attachment location and confirm that the  
aerials will not interfere with other aerial receptions (at least  
10 cm away from the other aerials). Once you attach the aerials,  
you can hardly remove them.

1Attach the aerials on the front windshield.  
• Rub on the aerials with the rubber spatula (supplied) to firmly  
fix them on the glass.  
2Attach the aerial cords to the electrodes of the aerials.  
3Wire the cords along the pillars, and secure them using the cord  
clamps.  
• Remove the pillar covers, and wire the cords so that the earth  
section of the cord can touch the metallic part of the car.

You can connect amplifiers to upgrade surround system in the car compartment.  
• Connect the amplifiers to 5.1-ch analog discrete output plugs to enjoy multi-channel source.  
After you have connected the center speaker, make sure to activate the center speaker; otherwise, no sound comes out of the connected center speaker, see page 57 of the INSTRUCTIONS.  
• You can supply the power to the amplifiers by connecting the remote leads (blue with white stripe) of this unit and amplifiers. (To connect more than one amplifier using the remote leads, Y-connectors need to  
be separately purchased.)  
• Disconnect the speakers from the unit, and connect them to the amplifier. Leave the speaker leads of the unit unused.
