Cautions
This unit is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V
DC operation only.
Do not get the leads 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 supply leads only
after all other leads have been connected.
Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground
(earth) point.
Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with
electrical tape for safety.
The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.
Notes on the power supply lead (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.

in the accessory position of the ignition switch
Notes
If there is no accessory position, connect to the +12 V power
(battery) terminal which is energized at all times.
Be sure to connect the black ground (earth) lead to a metal
surface of the car first.
When your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the rear/

Notes on the control and power supply leads
REM OUT lead (blue/white striped) supplies +12 V DC when you turn
on the unit.
When your car has built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the rear/side
glass, connect REM OUT lead (blue/white striped) 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

Memory hold connection
When the yellow power supply 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).
