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.
• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common
ground (earth) point.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with
electrical tape for safety.
Notes on the power supply lead (yellow)
• When connecting this unit in combination with other
stereo components, the connected car circuit’s rating

Warning
If you have a power antenna (aerial) without a relay box,
connecting this unit with the supplied power supply lead
 may damage the antenna (aerial).
Notes on the control and power supply leads
• The power antenna (aerial) control lead (blue) supplies +12 V
DC when you turn on the tuner, or when you activate the AF
(Alternative Frequency) or TA (Traffic Announcement) function.
• When your car has built-in FM/MW/LW antenna (aerial) in the
rear/side glass, connect the power antenna (aerial) control
lead (blue) or the accessory power supply lead (red) to the
power terminal of the existing antenna (aerial) booster. For
details, consult your dealer.
• A power antenna (aerial) without a relay box cannot be used
with this unit.
Memory hold connection
When the yellow power input lead is connected, power will
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 ground (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 amplifiers) 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.
Notes on connection
• If speaker and amplifier are not connected correctly, “FAILURE”
appears in the display. In this case, make sure the speaker and
amplifier are connected correctly.
• If you are to use the monitor for the rear seats, connect the
parking brake switch cord to the ground (earth).
