DigitalRadio
About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data.
In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called "services") to form one "ensemble."
The “primary component” (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied by a “secondary component” which can contain extra programs or other information.

1 Set [POSITION] and determine the listening position as the reference point (the reference point for [FRONT ALL] will be the center between the right and left in the front seats).
2 Measure the distances from the reference point to the speakers.
3 Calculate the distance between the furthest speaker (subwoofer on the illustration) and other speakers.
4 Sets the [DISTANCE] calculated in step 3 for individual speakers.
5 Adjusts [GAIN] for individual speakers.

Installation/Connection
This section is for the professional installer. For safety's sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer.
WARNING
- The unit can only be used with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
- Disconnect the battery's negative terminal before wiring and mounting.
- Do not connect Battery wire (yellow) and Ignition wire (red) to the car chassis or Ground wire (black) to prevent a short circuit.
• To prevent short circuit: - Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape.
- Be sure to ground this unit to the car's chassis again after installation.
- Secure the wires with cable clamps and wrap vinyl tape around the wires that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wires.
CAUTION
• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal parts of this unit during and shortly after use of the unit. Metal parts such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
- Do not connect the wires of speakers to the car chassis or Ground wire (black), or connect them in parallel.
- Mount the unit at an angle of less than 30^ .
- If your vehicle wiring harness does not have the ignition terminal, connect Ignition wire (red) to the terminal on the vehicle's fuse box which provides 12 V DC power supply and is turned on and off by the ignition key.
- Keep all cables away from heat dissipate metal parts.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
- If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching car's chassis, then replace the old fuse with one that has the same rating.

Installing the DAB antenna
Connect the DAB antenna to the DAB antenna jack. (See the left column.)
• DAB antenna is supplied for KMM-BT508DAB
For details, see the following.
- For KMR-M508DAB, you need to purchase the DAB antenna separately. For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the DAB antenna.
CAUTION
• The film antenna (F) is exclusively for use inside the vehicle.
- Do not install at the following locations:
- where it may block the driver's view.
- where it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags.
-on movable glass surfaces such as the rear hatch. - at side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter window).
-on rear window.
• Signal strength will weaken when installed at the following locations:
- on IR reflecting glass or locations covered with mirror type glass film.
- where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna (pattern).
- where it overlaps with window heating wires.
- on glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass).
• Poor reception may occur:
- due to noise when windscreen wiper, air conditioner, or motor is turned on.
– depending on the direction of the broadcast station with respect to the vehicle (antenna). - Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface with the supplied cleaner (I).
Do not bend or damage the film antenna (F).
It may not be possible to install on certain vehicles. - Check the cable routing of the film antenna (F) and amplifier unit (G) before pasting.
- Do not apply any glass cleaner after pasting the film antenna (F).
