Emergency calls

This BLUETOOTH car handsfree and the electronic device connected to the handsfree operate using radio signals, cellular, and landline networks as well as user-programmed function, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions.

Therefore do not rely solely upon any electronic device for essential communications (such as medical emergencies).

On BLUETOOTH communication

  • Microwaves emitting from a BLUETOOTH device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident.
  • where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or petrol station
  • near automatic doors or a fire alarm
  • This unit supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology.
  • We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during BLUETOOTH communication.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Connection/Installation

Cautions

  • Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.
  • Do not get the leads trapped 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.
  • Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.
  • Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.
  • Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
  • Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component's fuse amperage rating.

Note on installing in cars with a start-stop system

The unit may restart when starting the engine from start-stop. In this case, turn off the start-stop system of your car.

Mounting angle adjustment

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30^ .

10 Ferrite sleeve
11 Use speakers with 50W RMS or higher power input capacity. Using Sony XB series full range speakers is recommended.
12 When the amperage rating of the fuse used on your car is 10 A, make the power connection to the battery directly to avoid short circuits.
*13 Before connection, arranging the yellow and black leads of the power supply leads ② is required.

Making connections

To a common ground (earth) point

First connect the black ground (earth) lead, then connect the yellow and red power supply leads.

To the +12V power terminal which is energized at all times

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.

To the +12V power terminal which is energized when the ignition switch is set to the accessory position

If there is no accessory position, connect to the +12V power (battery) terminal which is energized at all times.

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.

To the power antenna (aerial) control lead or the power supply lead of the antenna (aerial) booster

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).

To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional power amplifier

This connection is only for amplifiers and a power antenna (aerial). Connecting any other system may damage the unit.

To a car's illumination signal

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.

When connecting to the battery directly

When the amperage rating of the fuse used on your car is 10A , make the power connection to the battery directly to avoid short circuits.

to a metal point of car
to the positive battery terminal

Notes

  • Despite connecting to the power supply lead of the car, the unit may not fully provide its performance due to insufficient power. In this case, make the power connection to the battery directly.
  • All power wires connected to the positive battery post should be fused within 450mm (18 in) of the battery post, and before they pass through any metal.
  • Make sure that the car's battery wires connected to the car (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a wire gauge at least equal to that of the main power wire connected from the battery to the head unit.
  • During full-power operation, a current of more than 15 A will run through the system. Therefore, make sure that the wires to be connected to the +12 V and GND terminals of this unit are at least 14-Gauge (AWG14) or have a sectional area of more than 2mm^2 (3/32 in).

When making the speaker parallel connection, use wires with more than 12-Gauge (AWG12) or wires that have a sectional area of more than 3.5mm^2 (5/32 in).

SONY DSXGS900 - Notes - 1

If you have any questions or problems concerning the connection, consult the dealer for details.

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.

Speaker connection

Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
- Use speakers with a 2 impedance or 4 to 8 impedance, and with adequate power handling capacities to avoid damage.

Subwoofer Easy Connection

You can use a subwoofer without a power amplifier when it is connected to a rear speaker lead. To enable the connection, set [SUBW MODE] in [SUBW DIRECT] to [1] to [3].

SONY DSXGS900 - Subwoofer Easy Connection - 1

Note

Use a subwoofer with a 2 impedance or 4 to 8 impedance, and with adequate power handling capacities to avoid damage.

Speaker Parallel Connection

When making the speaker parallel connection for a high volume playback, be sure to: - Set [SPKR LOAD] in [GENERAL] to [2 OHM].

SONY DSXGS900 - Speaker Parallel Connection - 1

Notes

  • When using a subwoofer with dual voice coil, or using a subwoofer by connecting the right and left rear speaker leads, be sure to set [SPKR LOAD] in [GENERAL] to [2 OHM].
  • To exert the speaker's potential, make the power connection to the battery directly (page 12).

Installing the microphone

To capture your voice during handsfree calling, you need to install the microphone ③.

SONY DSXGS900 - Installing the microphone - 1

Cautions

  • It is extremely dangerous if the cord becomes wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to keep it and other parts from interfering with your driving operations.
    If airbags or any other shock-absorbing equipment is in your car, contact the store where you purchased this unit, or the car dealer, before installation.

Notes

  • When mounting on the dashboard, remove the visor clip carefully from the microphone ③ , then attach the flat-mount base ④ to the microphone ③ .
  • Before attaching the double-sided tape ⑤ , clean the surface of the dashboard with a dry cloth.

Using the wired remote control

When using the steering wheel remote control

Installation of the connection cable RC-SR1 (not supplied) is required before use.

1 To enable the steering wheel remote control, select [STEERING] [EDIT CUSTOM] to make the registration.

When the registration completes, the steering wheel remote control becomes available.

Notes on installing the connection cable RC-SR1 (not supplied)

Refer to the support sites on the back cover for details, then connect each lead properly to the appropriate leads. Making an improper connection may damage the unit.
Depending on the type of car, be sure to insulate the unused leads with electrical tape for safety.
- Do not connect this cable when the steering wheel remote control is not used.
- Consulting the dealer or an experienced technician for help is recommended.

When using the wired remote control

1 To enable the wired remote control, set [STRG CTRL] in [STEERING] to [PRESET].
