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 distor-  
tion.  
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 pro-  
longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

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 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 ter-  
minal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could  
cause excessive current drain and malfunction.  
To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of  
the IP-BUS connector and Optical connector is  
blue, and the output side is black. Connect the  
connectors of the same colors correctly.  
Connection of this system requires optional opti-  
cal cables (e.g. CD-AD600) and IP-BUS cables  
(e.g. CD-IP600). Consult your nearest dealer for  
more detail.  
Set GPS antenna away from this unit. If you set  
them too close, it may fail to operate properly.  
An Optional “GEX-P900 DAB(II)” Hide-away  
DAB tuner cannot be connected without connect-  
ing an optional “DEQ-P9” Universal Digital  
Preamp Equalizer with this unit. If you connect a  
“GEX-P900 DAB(II)”, be sure to use the optional  
optical cables and IP-BUS cables, and connect  
between the “DEQ-P9” and this unit.  
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 insu-  
lation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a  
danger 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.  
This unit can not be installed in a vehicle that  
does not have an ACC (accessory) position on  
the ignition switch. (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 a fuse, be sure to use only fuses  
of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.  
The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead  
separately from the ground of high-current prod-  
ucts such as power amps.  
ACC position  
No ACC position  
If you ground the products together and the  
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam-  
age to the products or fire.  
Fig. 1  
If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used,  
do not remove the caps attached to the end of the  
connector.  
When this product’s source is switched ON, a  
control 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 terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the  
car features a glass antenna, connect to the anten-  
na booster power supply terminal.  
Cords for this product and those for other prod-  
ucts may be different colors even if they have the  
same function. When connecting this product to  
another product, refer to the supplied Installation  
manuals of both products and connect cords that  
have the same function.
