Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer  
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One  
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most  
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against  
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After  
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged  
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

WARNING  
To prevent accidents, never carry out auto TA and  
EQ while driving. When this function measures  
the car interior acoustic characteristics to create  
an auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurement  
tone (noise) may be outputted from the speakers.

!
Carry out auto TA and EQ in as quiet a  
place as possible, with the car engine and  
air conditioning switched off. Also cut  
power to car phones or portable telephones  
in the car, or remove them from the car be-  
fore carrying out auto TA and EQ. Sounds  
other than the measurement tone (sur-  
rounding sounds, engine sound, tele-  
phones ringing etc.) may prevent correct  
measurement of the car interior acoustic  
characteristics.  
!
!
If you carry out auto TA and EQ when a pre-  
vious setting of this already exists, the set-  
ting will be replaced.  
!
Be sure to carry out auto TA and EQ using  
the supplied microphone. Using another  
microphone may prevent measurement, or  
result in incorrect measurement of the car  
interior acoustic characteristics.

The sound quality of MP3 files generally be-  
comes better with an increased bit rate.  
This unit can play recordings with bit rates  
from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be  
able to enjoy sound of a certain quality, we  
recommend using only discs recorded with  
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.

ADPCM). The sampling frequency shown  
in the display may be rounded.  
The sound quality of WAV files generally be-  
comes better with a larger number of quan-  
tization bits. This unit can play recordings

Additional Information  
Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code  
modulation  
This stands for linear pulse code modulation,  
which is the signal recording system used for  
music CDs and DVDs.  
Terms  
Bit rate  
This expresses data volume per second, or bps  
units (bits per second). The higher the rate,  
the more information is available to reproduce  
the sound. Using the same encoding method  
(such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better  
the sound.  
m3u  
Playlists created using the ꢃWINAMPꢄ soft-  
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).  
ID3 tag  
MP3  
This is a method of embedding track-related  
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-  
formation can include the track title, the ar-  
tistꢁs name, the album title, the music genre,  
the year of production, comments and other  
data. The contents can be freely edited using  
software with ID3 Tag editing functions.  
Although the tags are restricted as to the num-  
ber of characters, the information can be  
viewed when the track is played back.  
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an  
audio compression standard set by a working  
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-  
dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress  
audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con-  
ventional disc.  
MS ADPCM  
This stands for Microsoft adaptive differential  
pulse code modulation, which is the signal re-  
cording system used for the multimedia soft-  
ware of Microsoft Corporation.  
ISO9660 format  
This is the international standard for the for-  
mat logic of CD-ROMfolders and files. For the  
ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the  
following two levels.  
Multi-session  
Multi-session is a recording method that al-  
lows additional data to be recorded later.  
When recording data on a CD-ROM, CD-R or  
CD-RW, etc., all data from beginning to end is  
treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses-  
sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses-  
sions on one disc.  
Level 1:  
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con-  
sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English  
capital letters and half-byte numerals and the  
ꢃ_ꢄ sign, with a file-extension of three charac-  
ters.)  
Level 2:  
Number of quantization bits  
The file name can have up to 31 characters (in-  
cluding the separation mark ꢃ.ꢄ and a file ex-  
tension). Each folder contains less than 8  
hierarchies.  
Extended formats  
Joliet:  
File names can have up to 64 characters.  
Romeo:  
File names can have up to 128 characters.  
The number of quantization bits is one factor  
in the overall sound quality; the higher the  
ꢃbit-depthꢄ, the better the sound quality. How-  
ever, increasing the bit-depth also increases  
the amount of data and therefore storage  
space required.  
Packet write  
This is a general term for a method of writing  
on CD-R, etc., at the time required for a file,

just as is done with files on floppy or hard  
discs.  
VBR  
VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally  
speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more  
widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit  
rate according to the needs of audio compres-  
sion, it is possible to achieve compression-  
priority sound quality.  
WAV  
WAV is short for waveform. It is a standard  
audio file format for Windows®.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media" Audio  
and refers to an audio compression technol-  
ogy that is developed by Microsoft Corpora-  
tion. WMA data can be encoded by using  
Windows Media Player version 7 or later.

Connecting the Units  
Note:  
•
This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and  
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-  
ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery  
voltage.  
•
When this product’s source is switched ON, a con-  
trol signal is output through the blue/white lead.  
Connect to an external power amp’s system remote  
control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay control ter-  
minal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features  
a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster  
power supply terminal.  
When an external power amp is being used with  
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white  
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not  
connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal  
of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause  
excessive current drain and malfunction.  
To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected  
lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the  
unused speaker leads without fail. There is a possi-  
bility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insulat-  
ed.  
To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of  
the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side  
is black. Connect the connectors of the same colors  
correctly.  
•
•
•
•
To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to  
disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning  
installation.  
Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-  
necting the power amp and other units, then make  
connections correctly.  
Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive  
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape  
around them where they lie against metal parts.  
Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any  
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake  
and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that  
get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insula-  
tion of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a dan-  
ger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle  
body.

•
Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the  
engine compartment to connect to the battery. This  
will damage the lead insulation and cause a very  
dangerous short.  
If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not  
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition  
switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected  
to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF  
operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery  
may be drained when you are away from the vehi-  
cle for several hours. (Fig. 1)  
•
•
Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection  
circuit may fail to work when it should.  
Never feed power to other equipment by cutting  
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit  
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of  
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.  
When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of  
the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.  
Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never  
wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or  
the left and right ≠ speaker leads are common.  
If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do  
not remove the caps attached to the end of the con-  
nector.  
Speakers connected to this unit must be high-  
power types with minimum rating of 50 W and  
impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers  
with output and/or impedance values other than  
those noted here may result in the speakers catch-  
ing fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead  
separately from the ground of high-current prod-  
ucts such as power amps.  
If you ground the products together and the ground  
becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the  
products or fire.  
Cords for this product and those for other products  
may be different colors even if they have the same  
function. When connecting this product to another  
product, refer to the supplied manuals of both  
products and connect cords that have the same  
function.
