SECTION  2
GENERAL
This section is extracted 
from operating instruction.
(AEP and UK models)
Cautions
Run all ground (earth) leads to a common 
ground (earth) point.
Do not get the leads trapped 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 power supply lead 
 to the unit and 
speakers before connecting it to the auxiliary 
power connector.
Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads 
with electrical tape for safety.
Choose the installation location carefully so that 
the unit will not interfere with normal driving 
operations.
Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, 
dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, 
such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a 
safe and secure installation.
Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with other 
stereo components, the amperage rating of the car 
circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher 
than the sum of each component’s fuse amperage 
rating.
Mounting angle adjustment
Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45°.

Subwoofer Easy Connection
You can use a subwoofer without a power amplifier 
when it is connected to a rear speaker cord.
Notes
Preparation of the rear speaker cords is required.
Use a subwoofer with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, 
and with adequate power handling capacities to 
avoid damage.
Memory hold connection
When the yellow power supply lead is connected, 
power will always be supplied to the memory 
circuit even when the ignition switch is turned off.
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 damage.
Make sure your car’s auxiliary power connector, and 
match the connections of cords correctly 
depending on the car.
