Connecting the Unit

CAUTION

•Disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery to avoid the risk of short-circuit and damage to the unit.

•Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around it where they lie against metal parts.

•Do not route wires where they will get hot, for example where the heater will blow over them. If the insulation heats up, it may become damaged, resulting in a short-circuit through the vehicle body.

•Make sure that wires will not interfere with mov- ing parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, handbrake or seat sliding mechanism.

•Do not shorten any wires. Otherwise the protec- tion circuit may fail to work when it should.

•Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply wire to tap from the wire. The current capacity of the wire will be exceeded, causing overheating.

•Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improp- er fuse could result in overheating and smoke and could cause damage to the product and injury including burns.

Connection Diagram

•This diagram shows connections using external output (subwoofer output). Slide the input switch to the left.

•When you connect with speaker output, connections defers from the diagram. For details, see the “Using the Speaker Input” section. In either case, you need to set the input switch. For details, see the “Setting the Unit” section.

Connect to metal body or chassis.

Connecting the Power Terminal

•Always use the special red battery and ground wire [RD-223], which is sold separately. Connect the battery wire directly to the car battery positive terminal (+) and the ground wire to the car body.

1.Pass the battery wire from the engine compartment to the interior of the vehicle.

•After making all other connections to the amplifier, connect the battery wire terminal of the amplifier to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.

• Use pliers, etc., to crimp lugs to wires.

<ENGLISH>

•For four-channel input, connect two speaker input wires with RCA pin cord to RCA input jack A and B. Be sure to slide the input select switch to the right.

•For two-channel input, connect the speaker input wire with RCA pin cord to RCA input jack A. Do not connect anything to RCA input jack B. Be sure to slide the input select switch to the left.

CAUTION:

To prevent damage and/or injury

• Do not ground the speaker wire directly or con-

nect a negative (–) lead wire for several speakers.

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and

negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-

ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the battery

voltage.

• If the car stereo is kept on for a long time while

the engine is at rest or idling, the battery may go

dead. Turn the car stereo off when the engine is at

rest or idling.

• If the system remote control wire of the amplifier

is connected to the power terminal through the

ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will

• Speakers to be connected to the amplifier should

conform with the standards listed below. If they

do not conform, they may catch fire, emit smoke

or become damaged. The speaker impedance must

be 2 to 8 ohms. But in case of two-channel and

other bridge connections, the speaker impedance

must be 4 to 8 ohms.

• Install and route the separately sold battery wire

as far away as possible from the speaker wires.

Install and route the separately sold battery wire,

ground wire, speaker wires and the amplifier as

far away as possible from the antenna, antenna

cable and tuner.

System remote control wire (sold separately)

Connect the male terminal of this wire to the system remote control terminal of the car stereo (SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL). The female terminal can be connected to the auto-antenna relay control terminal. If the car stereo does not have a system remote control terminal, connect the male terminal to the power terminal through the ignition switch.

Using the Speaker Input

Connect the car stereo speaker output wires to the amplifier using the supplied speaker input wire with RCA pin cord.

• Slide the input switch to the right.

•As a result of connecting the car stereo speaker output wire to the amplifier, the power of the amplifier is turned on automatically when the car stereo is turned on. It is not necessary to connect the system remote control wire in this case.

Note:

•Connect the system remote control wire when the power of the amplifier is not to be turned on when the car stereo is turned on.
