Notes on speaker connection
Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and with adequate 
power handling capacities to avoid its damage.
Do not connect the speaker terminals to the car chassis, or connect the 
terminals of the right speakers with those of the left speaker.
Do not connect the ground (earth) lead of this unit to the negative (–) 
terminal of the speaker.
Do not attempt to connect the speakers in parallel.
Connect only passive speakers. Connecting active speakers (with 
built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals may damage the unit.
To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speaker leads installed in 
your car if the unit shares a common negative (–) lead for the right and 
left speakers.
Do not connect the unit’s speaker leads to each other.
Note on connection
If speaker and amplifier are not connected correctly, “FAILURE” appears in 
the display. In this case, make sure the speaker and amplifier are 
connected correctly.
English
Cautions
This unit is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V 
DC operation only.
Do not get the leads under a screw, or caught in moving 
parts (e.g. seat railing).
Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to 
avoid short circuits.
Connect the yellow and red power input leads only 
after all other leads have been connected.
Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground 
(earth) point.
Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with 
electrical tape for safety.
Notes on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with other 
stereo components, the connected car circuit’s rating 
must be higher than the sum of each component’s fuse.
When no car circuits are rated high enough, connect the 
unit directly to the battery.

in the accessory position of the ignition key 
switch
Notes
If there is no accessory position, connect to the +12 V power 
(battery) terminal which is energized at all times. 
Be sure to connect the black ground (earth) lead to a metal surface 
of the car first.
When your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the rear/
side glass, see “Notes on the control and power supply leads.”
To the +12 V power terminal which is energized 
at all times
Be sure to connect the black ground (earth) lead to a metal surface of 
the car first.
Notes on the control and power supply leads
REM OUT lead (blue/white striped) supplies +12 V DC when you turn on 
the unit.
When your car has built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the rear/side 
glass, connect REM OUT lead (blue/white striped) or the accessory 
power supply lead (red) to the power terminal of the existing antenna 
(aerial) booster. For details, consult your dealer.
A power antenna (aerial) without a relay box cannot be used with this 
unit.
