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 Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

It is possible to play back multi-session
compatible recorded discs.
MP3 files are not compatible with packet
write data transfer.
The max. number of characters which can
be displayed for a file name, including the
extension (.mp3), is 32 characters from the
first character.
The max. number of characters which can
be displayed for a folder name is 32 charac-

Terms
Bit rate
File names can have up to 128 characters.
This expresses data volume per second, or bps
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,
the more information is available to reproduce
the sound. Using the same encoding method
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better
the sound.
m3u
Playlists created using the ꢃWINAMPꢄ soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an
audio compression standard set by a working
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-
dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-
ventional disc.
ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related
information in a MP3 file. This embedded in-
formation can include the track title, the ar-
tistꢁs name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted to the number
of characters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
Multi-session
Multi-session is a recording method that al-
lows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-
ISO9660 format
sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-
sions in one disc.
This is the international standard for the for-
mat logic of CD-ROMfolders and files. For the
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the
following two levels.
Packet write
Level 1:
This is a general term for a method of writing
on CD-R, etc. at the time required for a file,
just as is done with files on floppy or hard
discs.
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-
sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the
ꢃ_ꢄ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-
ters.)
Level 2:
VBR
The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-
cluding the separation mark ꢃ.ꢄ and a file ex-
tension). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more
widely used. But to flexibly adjust the bit rate
according to the needs of audio compression,
it is possible to achieve compression priorities
sound quality.
File names can have up to 64 characters.

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.

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 damage 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.

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.
