“NO MUSIC” appears.	Connect a USB device that contains playable audio files.
“iPod ERROR” appears.	Reconnect the iPod.Reset the iPod.
Noise is generated.	Skip to another track or change the disc.
Tracks do not play back as you intended them to play.	Playback order is determined when files are recorded.
“READING” keeps flashing.	Do not use too many hierarchical levels or folders.
Elapsed playing time is not correct.	This is caused by how the tracks are recorded.

Muting upon the reception of a phone call

Connect the MUTE wire to your telephone using a commercial telephone accessory. (→ 13, 14)

When a call comes in, "CALL" appears. (The audio system pauses.)

- To continue listening to the audio system during a call, press Ⓧ SRC. "CALL" disappears and the audio system resumes.

When the call ends, "CALL" disappears. (The audio system resumes.)

⚠ 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.
  • Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape to prevent a short circuit.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car's chassis again after installation.

Caution

• For safety's sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer.
• 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.
• 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.

Basic procedure

1 Remove the key from the ignition switch, then disconnect the ⊖ terminal of the car battery.
2 Connect the wires properly.
See Wiring connection. ( 13, 14)
3 Install the unit to your car.
See Installing the unit (in-dash mounting).
4 Connect the ⊖ terminal of the car battery.
5 Reset the unit. ( 3)
