Connection Considerations
The stereo must be connected to power, to speakers, and to
media input sources to function correctly. You should carefully
plan the layout of the stereo, wired remote, speakers, optional
NMEA 2000
®
network, and your input sources before making
any connections.

supplying 15 A.
Ground (-)
Black
Connects to the negative terminal of a
12 Vdc power source capable of
supplying 15 A. This wire should be
connected before connecting the

Activates when connected to ground.
For example, when connected to a

the audio mutes or the input switches
to AUX IN when a call is received and
the phone connects this wire to
ground. This functionality can be
configured from the settings menu.
Dim

Connects to the boat's illumination wire
to dim the stereo screen when the

Each cable provides a single mono
output to a powered subwoofer or
subwoofer amplifier, and one or both
cables can be used, depending on the
connection requirements of the
subwoofer or amplifier.
A connected subwoofer is associated
with the volume control for zone 1.
Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you should connect it
through the ignition or another manual switch.
If it is necessary to extend the power and ground wires, use
14 AWG (2.08 mm
2
) wire. For extensions longer than 1 m (3 ft.),
use 12 AWG (3.31 mm
2
) wire.
