WARNINGS
• Before starting to use the player, read these instructions carefully, then keep them in an accessible place for future reference!
• Seek professional assistance if necessary to prevent damaging the unit or motor vehicle!
• Depending on the compressed files, the used compression program, and the quality of USB/SD storage, anomalies may
occur during playback, which are not due to the unit malfunctioning.
• The playback of copy righted DRM files is not guaranteed!
• It is also possible to connect MP3/MP4 players using a USB cable but avoid connecting external hard drives this way!
• Do not store any additional files on the USB/SD device other than playable files, because they can slow down or
interfere playback.
• Do not connect phones, navigation devices or other equipment to the USB port for purposes of recharging!
• Do not store data storage in the vehicle if it is exposed to freezing or extremely high temperatures!
• While underway, do not do anything that distracts your attention from driving. Handling the player while driving can
result in accidents.
• Do not listen to the player too loud. Set a volume that allows you to hear external sounds while driving. Extreme
volumes can also cause permanent damage to your ears!
• Do not disassemble or remake the player, as that can cause fire, accidents, or electric shock. Incorrect use or installation
renders the warranty void.
• Only for use in cars with a 12 V battery and a negative ground! Using the player for any other purpose can result in
electric shock, damage, or fire. The player was designed exclusively for use in vehicles!
• Always use melting fuses with the proper values. When replacing a fuse, make sure that the new fuse has the same
nominal value as the one you are replacing. Using a different fuse can cause fire or damage.
• Do not block the player’s cooling vents, as that can cause its circuits to overheat, resulting in fire. Install the player
properly to ensure adequate ventilation. The air vents around the edge must be left free.
• Make sure to connect the player correctly. Incorrect connections can result fire or other defaults.
• Prior to wiring/installation, be sure to remove the car battery’s negative terminal connection! This will prevent any
electric shock, short circuit or malfunction.
• While installing the player never cut through cables or damage their insulation. Doing so can result in short circuit
and fire!
• Before drilling holes or inserting screws into your vehicle’s body make sure you do not damage tubes or electric wires
on the other side of the cover…
• Do not connect to any electric systems of your vehicle that operate steering, brakes, or any other safety function. Doing
so can result in loss of control over the vehicle, and can cause fire.
• Do not install the player or its accessories in a location where they can prevent you from controlling the vehicle safely,
e.g., between the steering wheel and the gear shift.
• Make sure that wires do not coil around neighbouring objects. Arrange cables and wires in a way that does not hinder
you in driving. Wires that interfere with your movement or hang over the gear shift, the brake etc. can be extremely
dangerous. (E.g., the connection cable of a media player connected to the USB port)
• In case of any malfunction, turn of the player immediately, and consult your distributor. Many malfunctions are very
easy to detect (e.g., no sound, bad smell, smoke, an external object inside the product etc.).
• Make sure that no external objects get into the USB socket or the memory card slot, as these can cause fatal damage.
• Protect it from dust, damp, liquids, heat, moisture, frost and impact, as well as direct heat or sunlight!
• When leading the connection cables make sure that their insulation does not get damaged by any sharp metal objects nearby!
• Do not connect any cables when the device is working. Never turn on the system with the volume at the maximum
level! Cracking or other noise impact occurring that time can immediately damage the speakers irreparably!
• The warranty is not applicable to damage caused by irresponsible or improper installation or use!

- Keep the battery power cables as far from any others as you can.
- Grounding cable should be connected securely to a clean surface of the car chassis, free from paint, dirt and
grease.
- Make it as far as possible from the unit, in case of noise reduction connection.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
In some cases, increasing the volume will not proportionally increase the bass level. This is dependent on the number
of speakers used and their positioning, moreover, a speaker in the vehicle might also be wired out of phase.
1. When two front speakers are used:
• Reverse the +/- polarity of either the right or left front speaker (the wires leading to either speaker should be reversed
anywhere between the head unit and the speaker).
2. When four speakers are used:
• A., If both the front and rear speakers are built into the doors (or otherwise isolated from each other, such as in
a sound box), then the polarity of either speaker in both the front and rear should be reversed.
• B If the front speakers are built into the doors but the rear speakers are built into the hat rack panel, then only
the polarity of either front speaker should be reversed. The rear speakers’ wires should remain unaltered.
