Installation Guide 
(continued)
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram
(page 52) for the proper hookups. Follow the dia-
gram carefully to avoid damaging the speakers and
the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more
than 50 W of audio power. If using an optional
audio amplifier, the speakers should be able to han-
dle the maximum amplifier output power. Speakers
with low input ratings can be damaged. Speaker im-
pedance should measure 4–8 ≠, which is typically
marked on most speakers. Lower or higher imped-
ance speakers will affect output and can cause both
speaker and stereo unit damage.
Motor Antenna
Connect the car motor antenna lead to the dark blue
motor antenna relay control lead.
(Do not confuse the antenna lead with blue/white
stripe lead for a power amplifier.)
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead
into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as an amplifi-
er, according to the instructions furnished with the
equipment. Leave about 12z(30 cm) of distance be-
tween the speaker leads/amplifier unit and the an-
tenna/antenna extension cord. Read the operating
and installation instructions of any equipment you
will connect to this unit.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct car radio
wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
block.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and pro-
ceed to the final installation.❐Final Installation❐Final ChecksLead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connection
is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and
fasten them with tape so they will not fall down
later. Now insert the stereo unit into the mounting
collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you’re ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected
and insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held in
the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper
operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest author-
ized professional installer for assistance.
❐Preparation≥We strongly recommend that you wear gloves
for installation work to protect yourself from
injuries.
≥When bending the mounting tabs of the
mounting collar with a screwdriver, be careful
not to injure your hands and fingers.
≥Disconnect the cable from the negative -battery
terminal (see caution below).
≥Unit should be installed in a horizontal position
with the front end up at a convenient angle, but
not more than 30o.Caution:
≥Do not disconnect the battery terminals of a
car with a trip or navigational computer since
all user settings stored in memory will be lost.
Instead take extra care with installing the unit
to prevent shorts.Less than 30xDashboard InstallationInstallation Opening
