Important Notes

Prior to the final installation, perform a sound check. If high distortion or intermittent sound is 
experienced, it is possible that the wiring from the CD receiver to the Vehicle’s electrical system 
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 CD player 
directly to the positive terminal (+) of the Vehicle battery. 
Marine accessory shops stock the connector blocks and the 10 Amp cable which may be 
necessary for extending the fuse wire connection.

1. Grounding 

Make sure that the black wire on the wiring harness is connected to a good ground point on the 
Vehicle. If the chassis of the Vehicle is used as a grounding point, make sure that the surface is 
scraped clean from the metal before attaching the wire to it. 
It is preferable to connect the black ground wire directly to negative terminal (-) of the Vehicle
battery.

2. Warning: polarity... 

This model is only suitable for use in Vehicles which have a negative ground system, 
e. g.. : the negative terminal of the Vehicle battery is connected to the chassis.

3. 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 marine stereo. When connecting your marine 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 Vehicle battery. 

4. Reset Function

A microprocessor reset function has been provided to facilitate manual resetting of the internal 
microprocessor. If you are faced with a malfunction during the operation, press and hold MODE 
and BD/FN button simultaneously for about 3 seconds to reset the unit. 

Note:

It will be necessary to re-enter the radio preset memories and other personal settings as 

          these will have been erased when the microprocessor was reset. After resetting the player, 
          ensure all functions are operation correctly.
