IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: Read this page carefully to ensure safe operation.

ENGLISH

WARNING
• Before mounting or wiring etc., be sure to remove the wire from
the battery minus terminal.
(Not doing so can cause shorts or fires.)
• When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, make
sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires with a
0.75mm2 (AWG18) or more to prevent wire deterioration and
damage to the wore coating.
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects
(such as coins or metal tools) inside the speaker.
• In the event the unit generates smoke or abnormal smell, immediately switch the power OFF. After this, please contact your
dealer or nearest service station as soon as possible.
POWER OFF!
• Connect the illumination lamp-equipped speakers to DC 12V,
negative ground.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the unit, for this could cause
fire hazard or malfunction.
• After taking the unit out of the polyethylene bag, be sure to dispose of the polyethylene bag out of the reach of children. Otherwise, they may play with the bag, which could cause hazard of
suffocation.

CAUTION
• Installation and wiring of the product requires expert skill and
experience. To ensure safety, be sure to have your dealer or
specialist perform the installation and wiring.
• Do not install the speaker in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or
excessive heat or humidity.
• Do not install the speakers in locations which may be subject to
water or moisture.
• D o not install the speakers in unstable locations or locations
subject to dust.
• If the fuse blows, after checking to see if the wiring cord has
shorted, be sure to replace with the stipulated size (amperage)
fuse as displayed on the fuse box.
(Using fuses other than the stipulated size can cause fires.)
Check the display!
To replace the fuse, refer to the vehicle instruction manual.
• To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse, disconnect the
wiring harness at first.
• Do not use gasoline, naphtha, or any type of solvent to clean the
speaker. Clean by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
• Connect the speaker wires to appropriate speaker connectors
separately. Sharing the negative wire of the speaker or grounding speaker wires to the metal body of the car can cause this
unit to fail.
• Do not connect cables and leads to both RCA cord input jacks
and the speaker input terminals simultaneously, for this may
cause malfunction or damage.
• When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk, or somewhere else in the vehicle, check that there is nothing hazardous
on the opposite side such as a gasoline tank, brake pipe; or wiring harness, and be careful not to cause scratches or other damage.
• For ground wire mounting, do not fasten the wire to an airbag,
steering or brake line system or other critical safety unit bolts or
nut.
(Can cause accidents.)
• When mounting, be sure to mount in a place that will not interfere with driving or be dangerous to passengers during sudden
braking etc.
(Cause of injury or accidents.)
• After installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical equipment such as the brake lamps, turn signal lamps and windshield
wipers operate normally.

RCA cord
(Commercially
available parts)

Notes:
• Read the instruction manuals for the connected components
such as the center unit as well as this instruction manual.
• Please purchase an RCA cord that is commercially available
separately.
Use the provided RCA cord 9 for connection between the subwoofer and the separately purchased RCA cord.
• When the center unit incorporates a DSP, connect the subwoofer to the subwoofer output (non-fader output) or to the RCA
jacks for the front output. Do not connect to the RCA jacks for
the rear output, as the low-frequency reproduction effect may
be attenuated due to the DSP effect.

9 RCA cord

When the center unit output is a single RCA jack, use an
RCA cord that converts the output into the two RCA jacks
as shown above.
The subwoofer output will be halved if the conversion
cord is not used.

Examples
The following shows a typical connection for effective car stereo enjoyment. Connect your system by referring to the example.
Caution:
Cover unused terminals with insulation tape to avoid short circuits.

Caution:

Under any circumstances, never apply inputs to the hashed terminals A
and B  simultaneously.

Troubleshooting guide
Often, what appears to be a malfunction is due to user error. Before calling for service, please consult the following table.
Problem

Remedy
• Check the (+)/(-) polarity of the power cord
and that the cords are not shorted, then replace with a fuse with the rated capacity.
• Re-connect the cords correctly by referring
to the connection example (on page 5, 6).

• The remote control cord is unplugged.

• Plug the cord into the REMOTE terminal.

• The power supply pin (yellow) of the 10-pin
connection cord is not connected.

• Connect the cord correctly by referring to
the connection example (on page 5, 6).
• Check the connections of all cords, then
connect the (-) cable to the battery.
•	Insert the connector all the way in.

• The power control pin (blue/white) of the
10-pin connection cord is not connected.
• The 10-pin connector is not plugged in completely.

No sound

• The grounding pin (black) of the 10-pin connection cord is not connected.

• Attach the grounding terminal to the metallic section of the vehicle (not a coated surface) by tightly screwing it.

• The negative (-) cable of the car battery is
disconnected.

• Check the connections of all cords, then
connect the (-) cable to the battery.

• The attenuator of the center unit is set to
ON.

• Switch the attenuator OFF.

• The LEVEL control is set to the MIN position.

• Increase the volume to an optimum level (on
page 8).

• The speaker cords are connected improperly.

• Connect the cords correclty by referring to
the connection example (on page 5, 6).

• Connection terminals are connected improperly.

• Insert the connectors or jacks all the way in
to the terminals.

• The remote control cord is unplugged.

• Plug the cord into the REMOTE terminal.

Sound is small.

• The input level is set to low.

Sound quality is bad (sound
is distorted).

• The input level is set to high.

• Turn the LEVEL control knob and set the input level to an optimum level.

• The speaker cords are connected with incorrect positive (+)/negative (-) polarity.
Sound is unnatural.

ENGLISH

Power cannot be turned on
(the POWER indicator does
not light).

Cause
• The fuse is blown.

• The grounding pin (black) of the 10-pin
connection cord is poorly contacted.
• The balance between the front speakers or
between those and the rear speakers are not
well adjusted.

• Connect the cords correctly by referring to
the connection example (on page 5, 6).
• Attach the grounding terminal to the metallic section of the vehicle (not a coated surface) by tightly screwing it.
• Adjust the tone balance by switching the
PHASE switch to 0° or 180° as required (on
page 8).
