WARNING
! In some countries or states the viewing of images
on a display inside a vehicle even by persons
other than the driver may be illegal. Where such
regulations apply, they must be obeyed and this
unit's DVD features should not be used.
CAUTION
! Do not drill a hole into the engine compart-
ment to connect the yellow cable of the dis-
play unit to the vehicle battery. Engine
vibration may eventually cause the insulation
to fail at the point where the wire passes
from the passenger compartment into the
engine compartment. Take extra care in se-
curing the wire at this point.
! Make sure that cables will not interfere with
moving parts of the vehicle, such as the shift
lever, parking brake or seat sliding mecha-
nism.
WARNING
! Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and
between 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do
not use 1 W to 3 W speakers for this unit.
! The black cable is ground. When installing
this unit or power amp (sold separately),
make sure to connect the ground wire first.
Make sure that the ground cable is properly
connected to metal parts of the car body
using a spade terminal sold commercially.
The ground wire of the power amp and the
one of this unit or any other device must be
connected to the car separately with different
screws. If the screw for the ground wire loos-
ens or falls out, it could result in fire, genera-
tion of smoke or malfunction.

! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-
tive grounding only. Failure to do so may re-
sult in a fire or malfunction.
! To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-
function, be sure to follow the directions
below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the bat-
tery before installation.
Connection
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe-
sive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring
that comes into contact with metal parts to
protect the wiring.
— Place all cables away from moving parts,
such as the shift lever and seat rails.
— Place all cables away from hot places, such
as near the heater outlet.
— Do not connect the yellow cable to the battery
by passing it through the hole to the engine
compartment.
— Cover any disconnected cable connectors
with insulating tape.
— Do not shorten any cables.
— Never cut the insulation of the power cable of
this unit in order to share the power with
other devices. The current capacity of the
cable is limited.
— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
— Never wire the negative speaker cable directly
to ground.
— Never band together negative cables of multi-
ple speakers.
! When this unit is on, control signals are sent
through the blue/white cable. Connect this
cable to the system remote control of an ex-
ternal power amp or the vehicle's auto-anten-
na relay control terminal (max. 300 mA
12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a
glass antenna, connect it to the antenna
booster power supply terminal.
! Never connect the blue/white cable to the
power terminal of an external power amp.
Also, never connect it to the power terminal
of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in
battery drain or a malfunction.
