7 DTGBOOVPAB222R.book Page 48 Monday, January 23, 2006 4:24 AM Installation and Connections Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 4 to 5 of this manual thoroughly for proper use. À Warning

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS

Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND. (Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc. BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to ctrical shorts.

DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS. Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous. DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES. Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and resul in fire or electric shock. DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES. When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions So as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or ctrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.

DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS. Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire el KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately. DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc and results in serious accident. À Caution HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS. The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done. USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY. Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure. ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY À SHARP METAL EDGE. Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wires insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole. DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST. Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure. Precautions Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (-) battery post before installing your VPA-B222R. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit. Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage to the vehicle’s electrical system. When making connections to the vehicle’s electrical system, be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this unit. When connecting the VPA-B222R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the VPA-B222R has the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer. The VPA-B222R uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized Alpine dealer for assistance. Be sure to connect the speaker (-) leads to the speaker (-) terminal. Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to each other or to the vehicle body.

Speaker input sound is distorted. + The Factory system has already been adjusted. - Ifthe following settings of the cars Factory System: BASS, TREBLE, LOUDNESS, etc., are performed while in speaker input mode, the Factory System sound is easily distorted. Therefore reset the above settings. + The volume is not appropriately adjusted. - Set the speaker input volume level (FACT SYS LV) to less than 15. Then, lower the cars Factory System volume, so that sound is not distorted. Refer to “Displaying the Speaker Input Volume Level” (page 16). Malfunction. + A malfunction occurs caused by speaker input cable noise. - Bundle and route the ® and © speaker input cables. Routing the speaker input cables separately may cause noise. The volume of the car audio system is too high/low. + The volume is not appropriately adjusted. - Select FACTORY SYS on the source selection screen, and adjust the volume using the commander. Interruption does not function correctly. + The speaker input is not correctly set to detect the Factory System. - Make sure that the speaker cable of the cars Factory System properly connected. Confirm that the input is correctly selected according to the detection channel setting (ESYS INT CH.). Refer to “Setting the Channel of the Speaker Interruption Detection” (page 17). Interruption volume of the cars Factory System is 100 low. - 1) When an external audio processor is connected, set the GUIDE voice to 15. Refer to “Adjusting Volume of GUIDE Voice” (page 12). - 2) While the navigation voice guidance or the telephone audio of the car's Factory System is ON, set the speaker input volume level (FACT SYS LV). The sound should be clearly audible, but the level should not exceed 15. Adjust the volume of the cars Factory System if necessary. Refer to “Displaying the Speaker Input Volume Level” (page 16). If the speaker input volume level is lower than the detection level (FACT SYS DET), interruption will not occur. Refer to “Adjusting the Speaker Input Interruption Detection Level” (page 17). Interruption occurs too frequently because the detection level is set 100 low. - Raise the interruption detection level (FACT SYS DET). Refer to “Adjusting the Speaker Input's Interruption Detection Level” (page 17). Interruption does not occur frequently enough if the detection level is set 100 high. - Lower the interruption detection level (FACT SYS DET). Refer to “Adjusting the Speaker Input’s Interruption Detection Level” (page 17). The source is set 10 FACTORY SYS. - Change to another source. If the source is set 10 FACTORY SYS while listening to the Factory audio system, sound is output to all speakers without interrupting the front speaker for the navigation voice guidance or telephone voice. Depending on the type of telephone ring tone, interruption may not be recognized. - Lower the interruption detection level (FACT SYS DET), or change the telephone ring tone. Refer to “Adjusting the Speaker Input's Interruption Detection Level” (page 17). Depending on the car, the telephone volume is automatically lowered. Therefore, interruption is not recognized. - Lower the interruption detection level (FACT SYS DET) based on the cars Factory System level. Refer to “Adjusting the Speaker Input’ Interruption Detection Level” (page 17). Interruption volume of the car navigation system is too high/low. + The volume is not appropriately adjusted. - Set the interruption volume (FACT SYS MIX) appropriately.
