AUX (Auxiliary Input Mode)
Connecting with the portable audio player
The AUX input terminal is equipped on the front panel. This jack is used to connect a portable audio device using a
standard mini-plug cable. By connecting a commercially available portable audio device, this unit can play the music
recorded on the device.
The AUX Input Example:
Front AUX IN
(3.5 mm ø stereo)
3.5 mm ø stereo mini-plug cable (Option)Stereo line out

Caution
• Set the volume level to low enough before the AUX
connection is completed.  Failure to observe this may
cause loud noise and, consequently, damage your
speakers and your hearing.
• Do not connect this AUX directly with a speaker/
headphone output.  Failure to observe this may
distort sound and break the internal amplifier.
Notes:
• When the high impedance output enuipment such as
old type audio equipment with an output transformer
is connected, sound may be distorted or become
extremely low levels.
• The connected audio equipment should be kept away
from the speakers.
• Be sure that your hand does not catch and yank the
mini-plug cable.
Warning
¡Do not place the connected portable audio device or mini-plug cable in a location where it will prevent the
SRS airbag may not operate correctly or the portable audio device may be catapulted outward by the
deploying airbag, which may result in serious injury or death.
*Refer to the owners manual for your car regarding the deploying position of the SRS airbag.
