*1 Not supplied
*2 Speaker impedance: 4 Ω – 8 Ω × 4
*3 RCA pin cord (not supplied)
*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 43).
*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 42).
*7 Depending on the type of car, use an adaptor
(not supplied) if the antenna (aerial) 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.
*10 Before connection, arranging the yellow and
black leads of the power connector is required.
To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized when the ignition switch is
set to the accessory position
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 car’s illumination signal
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
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
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
When connecting to the battery directly
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.
to a metal point of car
to the positive battery terminal
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
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 GND terminals of this unit are at least
14-Gauge (AWG14) or have a sectional area of
more than 2mm² (
3
/
32
in).
If you have any questions or problems
concerning the connection, consult the
dealer for details.
