Wire of Remote Amplifier
For certain models, there is a remote ampli-
fier wire connected at the rear of the headunit.
Connect this wire to the “enable” signal of your
remote power amplifier, and connecting the
Preamp Out to the audio input too.
Otherwise (if there is no remote amplifier wire),
you might have to share the ‘[A5] Antenna con-
trol’ signal with the remote antenna.
Finally, reconnect the negative car battery
terminal.
Removing the Headunit (fig. T & U)
Note: Check the current requirements of both
your remote amplifier and remote antenna and
make sure they do not exceed 300 mA.
Press the REL button and detach the front
panel.
Insert both removal keys into the holes on the
front of the headunit until they lock.
Press (inward) the two catches on the side
until they unlock.
MOUNTING
Metal Sleeve (fig. J & K)
Pull out the headunit.
Install the metal sleeve in the dashboard. For
optimal performance of the headunit, the metal
sleeve should be positioned horizontally (be-
tween -10° and +30°). Fix the metal sleeve into
place with the aid of a screwdriver.
Replacing the Fuse (fig. L & M)
Replace with a 15A blade-type fuse.
The new fuse must be of exact value and
type, otherwise the headunit will not be ad-
equately protected. Ignoring this procedure
may lead to damage of the headunit, which
will invalidate the guarantee.
Connecting the Headunit (fig. L & M)
Ensure that the battery is disconnected.
Insert the power supply connector A into
socket A.
Interference suppression
Most modern cars have sufficient interference
suppression. If you experience interference
generated by the vehicle, please consult your
dealer.
Insert loudspeaker connector B into socket B.
(Optional) Connect the preamp out RCA-
pair to the leads of the power amplifier (if
present) using a pair of male-RCA cable (not
provided).
Inset the aerial plug into the aerial socket
(good reception is only possible with a good
aerial). If an antenna adaptor is needed,
please consult your dealer.

change the offset level (relative to tuner vol-
ume level).
Do the same thing for rest of the sources / types,
if necessary, to your preferences.
2. Turn the knob to adjust the starting volume to
a comfortable level.
Note: If the headunit was previously at a higher
volume level when you turned it off, after you
turn on the headunit, it will use the starting vol-
ume. Otherwise, the headunit will remember the
previous volume level.

remains in ‘TEL MUTE’ mode, that is, sound
is muted, you can try to reverse the logic level
(e.g. from ‘TELM HI’ to ‘TELM LO’). If this still
does not work, perhaps your hands-free kit is
not compatible with this headunit and it is best to
turn the ‘TEL MUTE’ function to ‘TELM OFF’.

first programmable function, that is, “VOL-
UME-”.
Speed Dependent Volume Control
(SDVC)
4. Rotate the volume knob clockwise or anti-
clockwise to navigate through the functions.
5. Match a suitable SWRC buttons (e.g. “VOL-”
or “-”) with the one of the pre-defined func-
tions that is displayed (e.g. “VOLUME-”)
by pressing and holding the corresponding
SWRC button for more than 2 secs.
To compensate for surrounding noise, this func-
tion automatically increases the volume of the
headunit with respect to the car’s speed. There
are two compensation levels selectable from the
SAM. Level 1 gives a smaller increase (in vol-
ume) and level 2 gives a higher increase.
6. If the headunit recognizes the input as stable,
it will capture the key-press input, give a con-
firmation beep, and will show “PROG OK”.
23
ꢀ. Continue programming your SWRC’s buttons
to the pre-defined as much as possible with
the same steps.
8. For those buttons that you do not need,
please disabled them by selecting “-DIS-
ABLE-” and press-and-hold the unwanted
buttons for more than 2 seconds.
Important Note: In the case that you did not
disable the unwanted SWRC buttons, due to the
complexity of the programming to cater to most
types of SWRC, the headunit may recognise an
unwanted key-press on your SWRC as one of
the valid input.
9. Continue to select “-DISABLE-” and repeat
the process to disable all unwanted buttons.
