INSTALLATION / WIRING

INSTALLATION:
The CEQ-783 is designed for in-dash installation directly above or below a standard DIN size radio/CD/MP3 capable head unit.
Installation kits are available from your dealer to help you make your installation quick and simple while giving your installation a
custom, built-in look.
Brackets and screws are supplied with this unit for under the dash, glove compartment or console installations. Cadence recom-
mends you consult your local auto sound professional or installer for assistance.
WIRING:
The CEQ-783 is equipped with a molex type plug for power, ground and remote connections. Open the screws on top of the con-
nector and insert the wires into the hole located directly below the screw. The CEQ-783 comes standard with a lead of red color
wire which is pre-fused. You must use this lead in the 12V+ position.
Before making any electrical connections, we suggest that you disconnect your car battery in order to avoid any shorts or blown fuses.
Use a BLACK colored wire to connect the CEQ-783 GROUND terminal directly to the vehicles chassis.
The RED colored wire with the in-line fuse is for the main power to the CEQ-783. It should be connected to a 12V+ source. This is
normally the same power source which your head unit is connected to.
Use an ORANGE or YELLOW colored wire for the remote turn on lead of the CEQ-783. This wire should be connected to the radio’s
power antenna wire or special remote lead from the radio, so that the CEQ-783 will turn on with the rest of your system.
Please use high quality shielded RCA cables in order to avoid electrical noise problems. We recommend Cadence’s United Series
RC17P high performance RCA cables. The RCA cables should not be laid next to power or ground wires from the amplifier. This will
help isolate electrical noise from getting into the audio system.
OPERATIONAL CHECKS:
Begin with the radio in the off position. Set the fader and all controls to their center positions. Switch your car ignition or accessory
on and turn the radio to low volume. The illumination around the knobs should now be lit. If nothing happens, check for proper power,
ground and that the fuse is not blown. If all connections have been verified, check that the remote wire is actually getting power.
