AM/FM Cassette Car Stereo w/22 Watts x 2 Max Power 
(120-2130A)                Installation               Faxback Doc. # 60663 
 
Preparation 
 
CAUTION: Improper installation can damage your stereo and other components 
         in your vehicle's autosound system. 
 
Before you install your stereo, read all the instruction's in this owner's  
manual.  You should be able to answer all of these questions about your 
vehicle's electrical and sound systems: 
 
  Does my vehicle have a 12-volt negative ground electrical system? 
 
  Which terminal in my Vehicle's fuse box supplies power even when the 
  ignition is turned off? 
 
  Which terminal in my vehicle's fuse box is for accessories? 
 
  How do I connect a wire to the fuse box? 
 
Also, be aware that installation in your vehicle might require cutting or 
modifying your vehicle. 
 
Place the stereo as close as possible to the selected mounting location.   
We recommend that you install the stereo by temporarily connecting it to  
ground and power, optional components, and your speakers.  Then test the  
connections.  Next, disconnect the stereo, mount it in your vehicle, and  
then reconnect it.  The instructions in this manual are arranged in this  
order. 
 
CAUTION: Be sure your speaker can handle 32 watts of power (16 watts per  
         channel).  Each speaker must have an impedance of at least 4 Ohms 
         Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of speakers. 
 
Setting the Shaft Spacing 
 
The size of existing openings in the dash or installation kit determines  
the best spacing between the stereo's shafts (knobs). 
 
The space between the shafts is preset to 5-13/16 inches (148 mm) at the  
factory.  You can change the spacing to 5-5/8 inches (142 mm), to 5-3/8  
inches (136 mm), or to 5-1/8 inches (130 mm). 
 
Follow these steps if you need to change the shaft spacing.
