Conecte primero el cable de conexión a masa negro,
y después los cables amarillo y rojo de entrada de
alimentación.
Al cable de control de la antena motorizada
o al cable de fuente de alimentación del
amplificador de señal de la antena
Notas
• Si no se dispone de antena motorizada ni de amplificador
de antena, o se utiliza una antena telescópica accionada
manualmente, no será necesario conectar este cable.
• Si el automóvil incorpora una antena de FM/AM en el
cristal trasero o lateral, consulte “Notas sobre los cables
de control y de fuente de alimentación”.

Asegúrese de conectar primero el cable de conexión a masa
negro a una superficie metálica del automóvil.
Al terminal de alimentación de +12 V que
recibe energía en la posición de accesorio
del interruptor de la llave de encendido
Notas
• Si no hay posición de accesorio, conéctelo al terminal de
alimentación (batería) de +12 V que recibe energía sin
interrupción.
Asegúrese de conectar primero el cable de conexión a

Connection diagram
To a metal surface of the car
First connect the black ground (earth) lead, then connect the
yellow and red power supply leads.
To the power antenna (aerial) control lead or
power supply lead of antenna (aerial) booster
Notes
• It is not necessary to connect this lead if there is no power
antenna (aerial) or antenna (aerial) booster, or with a
manually-operated telescopic antenna (aerial).
• When your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in
the rear/side glass, see “Notes on the control and power
supply leads.”
To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional power
amplifier
This connection is only for amplifiers. Connecting any other
system may damage the unit.
To the interface cable of a car telephone
To a car’s illumination signal
To a car’s illumination signal
Be sure to connect the black ground (earth) lead to a metal
surface of the car first.
To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized 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/side glass, see “Notes on the control and power
supply leads.”
To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized at all times
Be sure to connect the black ground (earth) lead to a metal
surface of the car first.
Notas sobre los cables de control y de fuente de
alimentación
• El cable de control de la antena motorizada (azul) suministrará
cc de + 12 V cuando conecte la alimentación del sintonizador.
• Si el automóvil dispone de una antena de FM/AM incorporada
en el cristal trasero o lateral, conecte el cable de control de
antena motorizada (azul) o el cable de entrada de alimentación
auxiliar (rojo) al terminal de alimentación del amplificador de
antena existente. Para obtener más información, consulte a su
distribuidor.
• Con esta unidad no es posible utilizar una antena motorizada
sin caja de relé.
Conexión para protección de la memoria
Si conecta el cable de entrada de alimentación amarillo, el
circuito de la memoria recibirá siempre alimentación, aunque
apague el interruptor de encendido.
Notas sobre la conexión de los altavoces
Notas sobre la conexión de los altavoces
• Antes de conectar los altavoces, desconecte la alimentación
de la unidad.
• Utilice altavoces con una impedancia de 4 a 8
Ω con la
capacidad de potencia adecuada para evitar que se dañen.
• No conecte los terminales de altavoz al chasis del automóvil,
ni conecte los terminales del altavoz derecho con los del
izquierdo.
• No conecte el cable de conexión a masa de esta unidad al
terminal negativo (–) del altavoz.
• No intente conectar los altavoces en paralelo.
• Conecte solamente altavoces pasivos. Si conecta altavoces
activos (con amplificadores incorporados) a los terminales de
altavoz, puede dañar la unidad.
• Para evitar fallas de funcionamiento, no utilice los cables de
altavoz incorporados instalados en el automóvil si la unidad
comparte un cable negativo común (–) para los altavoces
derecho e izquierdo.
• No conecte los cables de altavoz de la unidad entre sí.
Nota sobre la conexión
Nota sobre la conexión
Si el altavoz y el amplificador no están conectados
correctamente, aparecerá “FAILURE” en la pantalla. Si es así,
compruebe la conexión del altavoz y el amplificador.
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.
• When your car has built-in FM/AM 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 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
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.
Note on connection
Note on connection
If speaker and amplifier are not connected correctly, “FAILURE”
