Radio rear panel
The rear panel of the radio contains the aerial sockets and the central connector.
The central modular connector groups all the
individual connectors, such as connectors for the
CD changer or loudspeakers. The individual
connectors can be plugged separately in the
central connector housing.
Locking and unlocking is by means of a central
locking mechanism.

The aerial sockets
To avoid plugging the aerial connectors in the
wrong socket the connector housings have a plug
coding and different colours. This means that a
connector will only fit in its associated aerial
socket. The connector engages when it is
plugged into the socket. To release the connector,
operate the unlocking mechanism on the socket.
