Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram
21
( pages 34j37) for the proper hookups. Follow
the diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speak-
ers and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more
than 60 W of audio power (for CQ-DFX701/
DF601U: 50 W). If using an optional audio amplifi-
er, the speakers should be able to handle the maxi-
mum amplifier output power. Speakers with low
input ratings can be damaged. Speaker impedance
should measure 4–8 ≠, which is typically marked
on most speakers. Lower or higher impedance
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.
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 ampli-
fier, according to the instructions furnished with
the equipment. Leave about 12z (30 cm) of dis-
tance between the speaker leads/amplifier unit and
the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the oper-
ating 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
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connec-
tion 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.

Final Checks
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.

If you have difficulties, consult your nearest author-
ized professional installer for assistance.
Preparation

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.
Less than 30x
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.
