Unit is designed for negative ground
12 V DC systems only
The unit cannot be used in trucks or other cars
with 24 V systems. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire
and damage.
Do not disassemble or remodel the
unit
This can cause electric shock, personal injury or
fire. Do not connect any other system’s power
supply cord to this unit’s power supply cord
directly. If you are in any doubt about the safe
installation of this unit, please consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
Do not install in locations which
interfere with airbag operation
Otherwise there is a risk of accidents and injury.
Use only the specified fuse
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a fuse
of the same rating (ampere rating). Otherwise
there is a risk of fire.
Do not block ventilation
If the unit is placed under the floor carpet, floor
mat, or otherwise covered, the ventilation
openings and heat sink cannot provide sufficient
cooling, leading to overheating and the risk of fire
or serious accidents.
Cautions
•Do not get the wires under a screw, or caught in
moving parts (e.g. seat railing).
•Before making connections, turn the car ignition
off to avoid short circuits.
•Connect the yellow and red power input leads
only after all other leads have been connected.
•Run all ground wires to a common ground
point.
•Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected wires
with electrical tape for safety.
Notes on the power supply cord (yellow)
•When connecting this unit in combination with
other stereo components, the connected car
circuit’s rating must be higher than the sum of
each component’s fuse.
•When no car circuits are rated high enough,
connect the unit directly to the battery.
Precautions On safety
Comply with the Traffic Laws in your country.

Installation angle
The unit should be installed within an
angle of 25 degrees from horizontal. If
this angle is exceeded, the monitor may
not open up or retract properly.
Note
Keep the units and connection cables
apart.
The Media Center main unit and the
connection box 1should not be in close
proximity.
1Installing the Main Unit
Before installation
This unit is designed to be completely safe, but if not installed
correctly, it can cause accidents. Be sure to verify the following
points before installation.
Install the main unit to the in-dash location, and the connection
box under the navigator’s seat, etc.
• If the monitor in the opened position is close to a air-
conditioning outlet, the outlet should be closed.
•Install the unit so that the monitor when opened up will not
block access to the hazard switch or other important controls.
• Do not install the unit (monitor) in locations which may be
subject to excessively low or high temperatures. (Otherwise the
unit may be deformed and the LCD may be damaged.)
Exposure to direct sunlight can also lead to high temperatures
and should be avoided.
Selecting the installation location
1Set the ignition key to OFF or remove it.
2Place the units in their intended mounting
locations to check the cable length and monitor
installation conditions.
Frequency select switch
The AM (FM) tuning interval is factory-set to the 9 k (50 k)
position. If the frequency allocation system of your country is
based on 10 kHz (200 kHz) interval, set the switch on the bottom
of the unit to the 10 k (200 k) position before making connections.

•To allow for proper opening and closing of the monitor, there
must be a clearance of at least 147 mm between the closest
position of the shift lever and the mounting surface for the unit.
•In some cases, the shift lever may touch the monitor when
moved to a certain position. Make sure that there is no
obstruction to driving operations.
•When installing this unit together with other car audio
equipment (single DIN slot size) in a stacked configuration,
install the Media Center main unit on top.

not open up smoothly. If this happens,
check the installation once more and
modify the cluster panel where the
dimension requirements are not met. For
some car models, a separately available
mounting kit may be required.
(For details, please consult your dealer.)

Refer also to the documentation for all other components in the system.
Also see “Connecting Information” on page 13.
•Components listed here except for supplied accessories are available separately. When connecting such
components, be sure to also refer to their documentation.
For specifications and other information on separately available components, contact your dealer.
Prevention of accidents caused by short-circuits
To prevent the risk of accidents caused by short-circuits, connect the power supply leads (red and yellow)
only after all other wiring has been completed, and only with the ignition key in the OFF position.
Otherwise, accidental short-circuiting can lead to electric shock and to serious damage.
When a fuse has blown, check the wiring and locate the cause of the problem before replacing the fuse.
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a fuse of the same rating (ampere rating). Using a different
fuse or bridging the contacts with wire is highly dangerous and can lead to serious damage.
Make sure to connect all of the following leads.
Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock, damage to the equipment, or malfunction.
•Connect light green lead to parking brake switch lead of car.
• Connect yellow lead to battery power supply of car.
•Connect red lead to accessory power supply of car.
•Connect black lead to metal point on car chassis.
*Do not to mix up the yellow and red leads, as this will cause the memory contents to be lost.
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock, damage to the equipment, or malfunction.
•Cover unused connectors with electrician’s tape to prevent accidental contact.
•Route FM/AM antenna cable, bus cable, RCA interconnects, and power supply leads as far apart from
each other as possible, to prevent noise interference.
• Always grasp the connector and do not pull the cable when disconnecting the bus cable or other cables.
Otherwise the cable may become detached.
Note
Install the TV antennas away from the FM/AM antenna.
Notes on the control and power supply leads
•The power antenna control lead (blue) supplies +12 V DC when turn on the tuner.
•When your car has built-in FM/AM antenna in the rear/side glass, connect the power antenna control
lead (blue) or the accessory power input lead (red) to the power terminal of the existing antenna
booster. For details, consult your dealer.
•Apower antenna without 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 key 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 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 wires 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 cords to each other.
