ACC position

No ACC position
- Use of this unit in conditions other than the following could result in fire or malfunction.
— Vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding.
— Speakers with 50 W (output value) and 4Ω to 8Ω (impedance value). - To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or malfunction, be sure to follow the directions below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before installation.
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring that comes into contact with metal parts to protect the wiring.
— Place all cables away from moving parts, such as the shift lever and seat rails.
— Place all cables away from hot places, such as near the heater outlet.
— Do not connect the yellow cable to the battery by passing it through the hole to the engine compartment.
— Cover any disconnected cable connectors with insulating tape.
— Do not shorten any cables.
— Never cut the insulation of the power cable of this unit in order to share the power with other devices. The current capacity of the cable is limited.
— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
— Never wire the negative speaker cable directly to ground.
— Never band together negative cables of multiple speakers.
- When this unit is on, control signals are sent through the blue/white cable. Connect this cable to the system remote control of an external power amp or the vehicle's auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect it to the antenna booster power supply terminal.
- Never connect the blue/white cable to the power terminal of an external power amp. Also, never connect it to the power terminal of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in battery drain or a malfunction.
- The black cable is ground. Ground cables for this unit and other equipment (especially, high-current products such as power amps) must be wired separately. If they are not, an accidental detachment may result in a fire or malfunction.

Installation
Important
- Check all connections and systems before final installation.
- Do not use unauthorized parts as this may cause malfunctions.
- Consult your dealer if installation requires drilling of holes or other modifications to the vehicle.
- Do not install this unit where:
— it may interfere with operation of the vehicle.
— it may cause injury to a passenger as a result of a sudden stop. - The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats. Install this unit away from hot places such as near the heater outlet.
- Optimum performance is obtained when the unit is installed at an angle of less than 60°.

- When installing, to ensure proper heat dispersal when using this unit, make sure you leave ample space behind the rear panel and wrap any loose cables so they are not blocking the vents.

This unit can be properly installed using either front-mount or rear-mount installation.
Use commercially available parts when installing.
DIN Front-mount
1 Insert the mounting sleeve into the dashboard.
For installation in shallow spaces, use the supplied mounting sleeve. If there is enough space, use the mounting sleeve that came with the vehicle.
2 Secure the mounting sleeve by using a screwdriver to bend the metal tabs (90°) into place.

Installation
② Mounting sleeve
■ Make sure that the unit is installed securely in place. An unstable installation may cause skipping or other malfunctions.
DIN Rear-mount
1 Determine the appropriate position where the holes on the bracket and the side of the unit match.

2 Tighten two screws on each side.

Removing the unit
1 Remove the trim ring.

① Trim ring
② Notched tab
- Releasing the front panel allows easier access to the trim ring.
- When reattaching the trim ring, point the side with the notched tab down.
2 Insert the supplied extraction keys into both sides of the unit until they click into place.
3 Pull the unit out of the dashboard.

Handling guidelines
Discs and player
Use only discs that feature either of the following two logos.


Use 12-cm discs. Do not use 8-cm discs or an adapter for 8-cm discs.
Use only conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs.

Do not insert anything other than a CD into the CD loading slot.
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may damage the player.
Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs cannot be played back.
Do not touch the recorded surface of the discs.
Store discs in their cases when not in use.
Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs.
To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward from the center.
Condensation may temporarily impair the player's performance. Let it rest for about one hour to adjust to a warmer temperature. Also, wipe any damp discs off with a soft cloth.
Playback of discs may not be possible because of disc characteristics, disc format, recorded application, playback environment, storage conditions, and so on.
Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
Read the precautions for discs before using them.
Additional information
When using discs that can be printed on label surfaces, check the instructions and the warnings of the discs. Depending on the discs, inserting and ejecting may not be possible. Using such discs may result in damage to this equipment.
Do not attach commercially available labels or other materials to the discs.
- The discs may warp making the disc unplayable.
- The labels may come off during playback and prevent ejection of the discs, which may result in damage to the equipment.
DualDiscs
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for video on the other.
Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be possible to play the CD side with this unit. Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can lead to playback problems on this unit. In some cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manufacturer for more detailed information about DualDiscs.
