Notes on the control and power supply leads

  The power aerial control lead (blue) su12 V DC when 

you turn on the tuner.

  When your car has built-in FM/AM aerial in the rear/side glass,

always be supplied to the memory circuit even when the ignition 
switch is turned off.

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 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 amplifi ers) 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 amplifi er are not connected correctly, “FAILURE” 
appears in the display. In this case, make sure the speaker and
