Use this unit in other than the following conditions could result in fire or malfunction.  
– Vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding.  
– Speakers with 50 W (output value) and 4 ohm to 8 ohm (impedance value).  
To prevent short-circuit, overheating or malfunction, be sure to follow the directions below.  
– Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before installation.  
– Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap  
adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts.  
– Place all cables away from moving parts, such as gear shift and seat rails.  
– Place all cables away from hot places, such as near the heater outlet.  
– Do not pass the yellow cable through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to a  
battery.  
– Cover any disconnected cable connectors with insulating tape.  
– Do not shorten any cables.  
– Never cut the insulation of the power cable of this unit in order to share the power to other  
equipment. Current capacity of the cable is limited.  
– Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.  
– Never wire the speaker negative cable directly to ground.  
– Never band together multiple speaker’s negative cables.  
Control signal is output through blue/white cable when this unit is powered on. Connect it to  
an external power amp’s system remote control or the vehicle’s auto-antenna relay control  
terminal (max. 300 mA, 12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect  
it to the antenna booster power supply terminal.  
Never connect blue/white cable to external power amp’s power terminal. Also, never  
connect it to the power terminal of the auto antenna. Otherwise, battery drain or malfunction  
may result.  
Black cable is ground. This cable and other product’s ground cable (especially, high-current  
products such as power amp) must be wired separately. Otherwise, fire or malfunction may  
result if they are accidentally detached.

Dual Discs are two-sided discs that have a recordable CD for audio on one side and  
a recordable DVD for video on the other.  
Since the CD side of Dual Discs is not physically compatible with the general CD  
standard, it may not be possible to play the CD side with this unit.  
Frequent loading and ejecting of a Dual Disc may result in scratches on the disc.  
Serious scratches can lead to playback problems on this unit. In some cases, a Dual  
Disc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we  
recommend you refrain from using Dual Disc with this unit.  
Use only conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs.  
Please refer to the information from the disc manufacturer for more detailed  
information about Dual Discs.
