A

This connection is only for amplifi ers. Connecting any other 
system may damage the unit.

B

If you have a power antenna (aerial) without a relay box, 
connecting this unit with the supplied power supply lead 
3

 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 (Traffi c 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 input 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 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 
amplifi er are connected correctly.
