INSTALLATION / CONNECTION

PREPARATION

This unit is designed to operate on 

12 V DC, NEGATIVE ground electrical 

systems

. If your vehicle does not have this system, a voltage inverter is required, 

which can be purchased at JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT dealers.

WARNINGS

To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical 
connections before installing the unit.
• 

Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.

Notes:

•  Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC IN-CAR ENTERTAINMENT 

dealer.

•  It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 45 W (both at the rear and at the front, 

with an impedance of 

4

 Ω 

to 8

 Ω). If the maximum power is less than 45 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the 

speakers from being damaged (see “General settings—PSM”).

•  To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
•  The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this 

unit.
