(AEP and UK models)
Connection/Installation
Cautions
Run all ground (earth) leads to a common
ground (earth) point.
Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or
caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).
Before making connections, turn the car ignition
off to avoid short circuits.
Connect the power supply lead
speakers before connecting it to the auxiliary
power connector.
Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads
with electrical tape for safety.
Precautions
Choose the installation location carefully so that
the unit will not interfere with normal driving
operations.
Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust,
dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature,
such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a
safe and secure installation.
Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with other
stereo components, the amperage rating of the car
circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher
than the sum of each component's fuse amperage
rating.
Mounting angle adjustment
Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45°.

*4 Depending on the type of car, use an adaptor for a
wired remote control (not supplied).
For details on using the wired remote control, see
"Using the wired remote control" (page 31). .
*5 Whether in use or not, route the microphone input
cord such that it does not interfere with driving
operations. Secure the cord with a clamp, etc., if it is
installed around your feet.
*6 For details on installing the microphone, see
"Installing the microphone" (page 31).
.
*7 Depending on the type of car, use an adaptor (not
supplied) if the antenna connector does not fit.
*8 Use speakers with 50W RMS or higher power input
capacity. Using Sony XB series full range speakers is
recommended.
*9 When the amperage rating of the fuse used on your
car is 10 A, make the power connection to the
battery directly to avoid short circuits.
Making connections
If you have a power antenna (aerial) without a relay
box, connecting this unit with the supplied power
supply lead may damage the antenna (aerial).

Notes
Despite connecting to the power supply lead of the
car, the unit may not fully provide its performance
due to insufficient power. In this case, make the
power connection to the battery directly.
All power wires connected to the positive battery post
should be fused within 450 mm (18 in) of the battery
post, and before they pass through any metal.
Make sure that the car's battery wires connected to
the car (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a wire
Yellow
gauge at least equal to that of the main power wire
connected from the battery to the head unit.
During full-power operation, a current of more than

15 A will run through the system. Therefore, make
sure that the wires to be connected to the +12 V and
Orange/white
GND terminals of this unit are at least 14-Gauge
