MANUAL

DEQ-P8000

MANUEL

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

and negative grounding. Before installing it in a

recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the bat-

tery voltage.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure

to disconnect the · battery cable before begin-

ning installation.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-

necting the power amp and other units, then

make connections correctly.

• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive

tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape

around them where they lie against metal parts.

• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch

any moving parts, such as the gear shift, hand-

brake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in

places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet.

If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn,

there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to

the vehicle body.

• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into

the engine compartment to connect to the battery.

This will damage the lead insulation and cause a

•When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to the power ter- minal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction.

•To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the unused speaker leads without fail. There is a pos- sibility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insulated.

•To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS or optical cable connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the connec- tors of the same colors correctly.

•If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be con- nected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehi- cle battery may be drained when you are away from the vehicle for several hours.

When you connect a power amp (sold separately), be sure to use the blue/white lead of this unit. If you use the blue/white lead of the head unit, it causes noises.

very dangerous short.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, 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 lead of the

unit and tapping into the lead. The current capac-

ity of the lead will be exceeded, causing over-

heating.

• When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of

the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never

wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded

or the left and right · speaker leads are com-

mon.

• Speakers connected to this unit must be high-

power types with minimum rating of 50 W and

impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers

with output and/or impedance values other than

those noted here may result in the speakers

catching fire, emitting smoke or becoming dam-

aged.

• When this product’s source is switched ON, a

control signal is output through the blue/white

lead. Connect to an external power amp’s system

remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay

control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the

car features a glass antenna, connect to the anten-

na booster power supply terminal.

•The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current prod- ucts such as power amps.

If you ground the products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam- age to the products or fire.

•To ensure proper heat dissipation of this product, take special care not to block the cooling fan side of this product.

•Cords for this product and those for other prod- ucts may be different colors even if they have the same function. When connecting this prod- uct to another product, refer to the supplied manuals of both products and connect cords that

have the same function.
