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 boat's
ignition off to avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power supply
leads only after all other leads have been
connected.
• 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
boating or car 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.
• Select carefully the mounting location to
avoid internal damage by water entering
the unit. Areas subject to water splashes
should be avoided. The Waterproof Car
Stereo Cover (not supplied) is
recommended.
• 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 boat 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 30°.
*1 Not supplied
*2 Speaker impedance: 4 Ω – 8 Ω × 4
*3 RCA pin cord (not supplied)
*4 Depending on the type of boat, use an adaptor
for a wired remote control (not supplied).
*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".
*7 Depending on the type of boat, use an adaptor
(not supplied) if the antenna (aerial) connector
does not fit.
*8 Supplied with the marine remote commander.
*9 Not waterproof
Making connections
To a common ground (earth) point
First connect the black ground (earth)
lead, then connect the yellow and red
power supply leads.
To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized at all times

If there is no accessory position, connect
to the +12 V power (battery) terminal
which is energized at all times.
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
To the power antenna (aerial) control
lead or the power supply lead of the
antenna (aerial) booster
It is not necessary to connect this lead if
there is no power antenna (aerial) or
antenna (aerial) booster, or with a
manually-operated telescopic antenna
(aerial).
To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional
power amplifier
This connection is only for amplifiers and
a power antenna (aerial). Connecting any
other system may damage the unit.
To a boat's illumination signal
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.

Subwoofer
Note
Use a subwoofer with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω,
and with adequate power handling capacities to
avoid damage.
Memory hold connection
When the yellow power supply lead is
connected, power will always be supplied to
the memory circuit even when the ignition
switch is turned off.
Speaker connection
• Before connecting the speakers, turn the
unit off.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω to
8 Ω, and with adequate power handling
capacities to avoid damage.
