Installation
point in your vehicle’s fuse block that
provides a continuous source of 12
volts. This provides power for the CD
player’s components, and continuous
power for the CD player’s memory when
the ignition is turned off.
5. Connect the blue/white wire to any
optional equipment designed to run from
a switched source that you want the CD
player to turn on and off (such as a
booster or a power antenna). To use this
wire you must first remove the insulation
and strip the wire.
This wire does not provide power to the
components. If you do not use this wire,
secure it with a wire tie and do not let it
touch metal.
Testing the Power Connections
Temporarily connect:
• the harness to the CD player’s 14-pin
wiring socket
• your vehicle battery’s negative (–) cable
Turn on your vehicle’s ignition and install the
CD player’s control panel. See “Installing/Re-
moving the Control Panel” on page 10. Verify
that the CD player works properly when the
display lights.
If the display does not light, immediately
turn off your vehicle’s ignition and dis-
connect your vehicle battery’s negative
.
(–) cable. Then recheck your connections.
If the CD player works properly, remove the
CD player’s control panel and disconnect:
• your vehicle battery’s negative (–) cable
• the harness from the CD player’s 14-pin
wiring socket
Then proceed with the installation.
Connecting an Equalizer/Booster
If you are connecting the CD player to a sep-
arate equalizer or booster, you need addi-
tional wires (not included).
To increase the total power output from your
system, connect an equalizer or booster to
the R (right) and L (left) line output jacks on
the back of the CD player (and the 14-pin
connector’s blue/white wire if you want to
use the CD player to turn the equalizer or
booster on and off).
Check the equalizer/booster's owner's manu-
al for directions.
Connecting the Speakers
To connect the harness to two pairs of
speakers:
1. Connect the white wire to the left front
speaker’s positive terminal. This termi-
nal is usually marked with a plus (+) sign
or red mark.
2. Connect the white/black wire to the left
front speaker’s negative terminal. This
terminal might be marked with a minus
(–) sign or it might not be marked at all.
3. Connect the gray wire to the right front
speaker’s positive terminal.
4. Connect the gray/black wire to the right
front speaker’s negative terminal.
