English Owner’s Manual

Choosing Your Source Unit Configuration

Standard Mode

Standard mode is ideal for basic installations that utilize

a single audio source with speakers configuration.

Utilizing this configuration you can have Front and Rear

speakers with the ability to control fade, a secondary set

of speakers unaffected by fading and a fixed connection

at full output.

Multi-Zone Mode

Multi-Zone mode is ideal for installations that require

multiple sources to play simultaneously from different

speakers. Using this configuration you can control up

to 4 independent zones with 4 sources such as FM, BT,

USB, SiriusXM. All 4 zones are variable with independent

volumes, EQ, gain and other configurable zone settings.

Note:

When using Multi-Zone with multi-source, radio band sources are limited to a single band

(FM/AM/WB) across all zones utilizing radio. Example: If Zone 1 and Zone 2 are set to AM and

Zone 3 is set to FM, both Zone 1 and Zone 2 will now become FM and vice versa.

Bluetooth devices will restart the current track

depending on how long the track has been

playing. During music streaming playback,

“BT Audio” will be shown on the display.

When BT Audio device is disconnected,

INSTALLATION AND

CONNECTION

WIRE

1. BEFORE STARTING

1. This set is exclusively for use in vessels with

a negative ground 12 V power supply.

2. Read these instructions carefully.

3. Be sure to disconnect the battery “ ” terminal

before starting. This is to prevent short circuits

during installation. (Figure 1)

2. INSTALLATION CAUTIONS

3. OPTIONAL MARINE WIRED REMOTE INSTALLATION

Battery

Figure 1

1. In order to avoid any interference, do not install the tuner module or control unit in the proximity of

the engine compartment.

2. The use of unauthorized parts can cause permanent damage to the unit.

3. Always check your wire connections to ensure proper installation before turning on the unit.

4. Consult with your nearest dealer for proper installation or if common parts need to be used.

Seek assistance if modifications or drilling holes to your vessel is needed.

5. Do not install the unit where it will be subjected to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, foreign particles

or vibration. Areas of high temperature from the engine, direct sunlight, heater or hot air should

also be avoided.

6. Do not install the unit in a location where it will interfere with the vessel operation, or it will injure the

passengers if there is a sudden or emergency stop.

The control unit should be mounted to a dry, clean and flat surface. Ensure the rear gasket is fully

4. BLACK BOX INSTALLAION

1. Select an area with sufficient ventilation for the mounting of the black box in order to prevent the

module from overheating. You may mount the black box in a horizontal or vertical position. If the

black box is mounted in a vertical position, do not mount the module with the harness exit points

directly facing up to prevent water collecting in these areas.

2. Please refer to the diagram below for the mounting screw hole positions. Always use the shortest

length of screw possible.

3. During installation, use the 6 rubber mounting stoppers (included in the package) for the bottom of

the module. This provides clearance from surface moisture and provides sufficient ventilation for

the heat sink.

4. Extension wires/cables may be needed to route the harness and cable throughout the vessel.

Note: Retain some slack in the harness/ cables to prevent damage to the wires. It is recommended

relieve stress in all cables and harnesses.

5. Always read through the wiring diagram in this manual first, and follow all the wiring diagrams

carefully. The connections should be secured and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical

tape to ensure proper connections.

6. Once the wiring connections are completed, connect the negative terminal on the battery, turn the

vessel accessory ON and power on the unit to check if it is operating correctly. If abnormalities

occur, disconnect the battery negative terminal, recheck all wiring and try again. Please refer to the

troubleshooting section for assistance.
