Connecting Wires To Terminals - Kenwood KDC-715S Instruction Manual

Connecting Wires to Terminals

2WARNING
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery
wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may
cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire.
Always connect those wires to the power source
running through the fuse box.
2CAUTION
When only two speakers are being connected to the
system, connect the connectors either to both the
front output terminals or to both the rear output
terminals (do not mix front and rear). For example, if
you connect the + connector of the left speaker to a
front output terminal, do not connect the - connector
to a rear output terminal.
If no connections are made, do not let the wire come out from the tab.
When using the optional power amplifier, connect
to its power control terminal.
Depending on what antenna you are using, connect
either to the control terminal of the motor antenna, or
to the power terminal for the booster amplifier of the
To car light control switch
To "EXT.AMP.CONT." terminal of the amplifier
