Outlet power amplifier connection

CAUTION

Connect the amplifier carefully using the following diagram. Incorrectly connecting the amplifier may impact the quality of the audio and could damage the speakers.

•When the player is on, it outputs a control signal through the blue and white lead. Connect this lead to an external power amp’s system remote control or to the vehicle’s auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300mA 12 VCD). If the vehicle features a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster power supply terminal.

•When using an external power amp, do not connect the blue and white lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue and white lead to the power terminal of the auto-antenna. This connection could cause excessive current drain and the player to malfunction.
