PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONNECTING THE
PLAYER TO THE VEHICLE

IMPORTANT NOTES

Prior to final installation carry out a sound check. If high distortion or intermittent sound
is experienced it is possible that the wiring to the car’s electric is poor, or that the battery
needs recharging.

If the battery and its charging circuit are OK, then rewire the red fused wire of the player
directly to the positive terminal (+) of the car battery. Car accessory shops stock the
connector blocks and the 10 Amp cable which may be necessary for extending the fuse
wire connection.

EARTHING:

  Make sure that the black wire on the wiring harness is connected to a good

earthing point on the car. If the chassis of the car is used as an earthing point, make sure
that the paint is scraped clean from the metal work before attaching the wire to it. It is
preferable to connect the black earthing wire directly to the negative terminal (–) of the
car battery.

WARNING:  POLARITY.....

This model is only suitable for use in vehicles which have a negative earth system.
e.g.:  The negative terminal of the car battery is connected to the chassis.

Connecting The Speakers And Power Cables

Before you wire your system, disconnect your vehicle battery’s positive (+) cable.
This helps prevent damage in case of a short. When you complete the wiring, reconnect
the battery cable and test your car stereo.

Note:  Check with your vehicles handbook or dealer before disconnecting the vehicle
battery in case the alarm or other electronics in your vehicle requires special attention.

When connecting your car stereo’s black ground wire, be sure to connect the wire to a
metal part of your vehicle or preferably to the negative (–) terminal of the car battery.
