2 WARNING
To prevent fire caused by a short in the wiring,
connect a fusible link or breaker nearby the
battery’s positive terminal.
2 CAUTION
• If sound is not output normally, immediately
turn power off and check connections.
• Be sure to turn the power off before changing
the setting of any switch.
• If the fuse blows, check wires for shorts, then
replace the fuse with one of the same rating.
• Check that no unconnected wires or connectors
are touching the car body. Do not remove
caps from unconnected wires or connectors to
prevent short circuits.
• Connect the speaker wires to appropriate
speaker connectors separately. Sharing the
negative wire of the speaker or grounding
speaker wires to the metal body of the car can
cause this unit to fail.
• After installation, check that the brake lamps,
winkers, and wipers work properly.

Set the ID number of the Master amplifier to "0".
You can connect up to 7 Slave amplifiers. Assign them ID numbers "1"
to "7" and do not duplicate them.
2 CAUTION
• Do not connect 2 Master amplifiers to the Center Unit. If done, you
cannot control all amplifiers connected to the Center Unit.
• The LX AMP and the sensor unit cannot be connected
simultaneously. You must connect any of them at a time.
NOTE
• The total length of S-video cables you can connect is 14 meters
(46 ft) maximum. If the cable length exceeds this limit, you cannot
control amps from the Center Unit.
• If you assign the same ID number to multiple amplifiers, they
malfunction when you operate any of them from the Center Unit.
• If you assign ID number "8" or "9" to a Slave amplifier, it is not
recognized by the Center Unit.
