ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the batteryʼs negative terminal and
make all electrical connections before installing the receiver.
•
Be sure to ground this receiver to the car’s chassis again after installation.
Notes:
• Replace the fuse with one of the specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult your JVC
car audio dealer.
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both
at the rear and at the front, with an impedance of
4
Ω
to 8
Ω). If the maximum power is less
than 50 W, change “AMP GAIN” setting to prevent the speakers
from being damaged (see page 14 of the INSTRUCTIONS).
• To prevent short-circuit, cover the terminals of the UNUSED
leads with insulating tape.
• The heat sink becomes very hot after use. Be
careful not to touch it when removing this receiver.
