CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Your speaker's combined power-handling capacity must be at least 30 watts.
Each speaker must have an impedance of at least 4 ohms.  Your local Radio
Shack store carries a full line of automotive speakers.

Cautions:  For added safety and to protect your stereo, disconnect the
           cable from the negative (-) terminal on your vehicle's battery
           before you begin.

           You must connect a separate wire to each speaker terminal as
           described in the following procedure.  Do not use a common
           wire or chassis ground for any speaker connection.

Connecting Two Speakers

Set 4CH/2CH located on the bottom of the stereo to 2CH.  Then make the
following connections.

1.  Connect the harness' gray wire to the right speaker's positive (+)
    terminal.

2.  Connect the harness' violet wire to the speaker's negative (-)
    terminal.

3.  Connect the harness' white wire to the left speaker's positive (+)
    terminal.

4.  Connect the harness' green wire to the left speaker's negative (-)
    terminal.

Connecting Four Speakers

If you want to use both front and rear speakers, set 4CH/2CH located on
the bottom of the stereo to 4CH.

Then make the following connection.

1.  Connect the harness' gray wire to the front speaker's positive (+)
    terminal.

2.  Connect the harness' gray/black wire to the front right speaker's
    negative (-) terminal.

3.  Connect the harness' violet wire to the rear right speaker's positive
    (+) terminal.

4.  Connect the harness' violet/black wire to the rear right speaker's
    negative (-) terminal.

5.  Connect the harness' white wire to the front left speaker's positive
    (+) terminal.

6.  Connect the harness' white/black wire to the front left speaker's
    negative (-) terminal.

7.  Connect the harness' green wire to the rear left speaker's positive
    (+) terminal.

8.  Connect the harness' green/black wire to the left speaker's negative
    (-) terminal.

CONNECTING AN EQUALIZER/BOOSTER

You can connect an equalizer/booster with speaker level connectors to your
stereo to increase the total power output from the system.

Check the equalizer/booster's owner's manual for directions.


CONNECTING TO POWER AND ANTENNA

Follow these steps to connect your stereo to power and to the antenna.

1.  Connect the stereo's black ground wire to a metal screw attached to
    the vehicle's frame.  Be sure the screw is not insulated from the
    chassis by a plastic part.

2.  Connect the stereo's yellow wire with an in-line fuse holder (labeled
    "Memory Backup Lead") to a continuous 12-volt source.  You connect it
    directly to the battery's positive terminal or to a non-switched fuse
    terminal (a terminal that the vehicle's ignition does not turn on and
    off).

    This connection provides continuous power for the tuner memory and
    the alarm LED when the ignition is turned off.

3.  Connect the stereo's solid red power wire (with an in-line fuse
    holder) from the fourteen-wire harness to the accessory (ACC) terminal
    on your vehicle's fuse block.

    This connection provides power to the stereo when you turn on the
    ignition, and turns off power when you turn off the ignition.  This
    prevents your vehicle's battery from draining if you leave the stereo
    on when you turn off the ignition.

4.  Connect the vehicle's antenna cable to the stereo's large black
    antenna connector.

5.  Connect the stereo's blue wire (labeled "Switched Power Lead") to
    an optional component you want the stereo to turn on and off, such
    as an automatic antenna or equalizer/booster.

    This wire does not provide power to any component.  It simply turns it
    on or off.  If you do not use this wire, use a wire tie to keep it out
    of the way.

Note:  The optional component must be designed for use with a switched
       power lead.  See the optional component's owner's manual.

6.  Connect the stereo's orange/white wire (labeled "Display Lighting")
    to the switched side of either your headlamp/parking light circuit or
    the accessory switch.

    This connection provides power to the backlighting for the display.

7.  Connect the yellow/red wire to the mute terminal of the car phone.
    When you use the car phone, the stereo will muted.

Note:  If your car phone does not have the mute terminal externally or
       internally, or the stereo's phone mute does not work even though
       the connection is completed, we recommend you to contact an
       installation store to find a suitable interface module between the
       stereo and car phone.

8.  Connect the supplied harness to the speaker socket.  Reconnect the
    battery cable.

TESTING THE CONNECTIONS

After you connect the speakers, power wires, and antenna, turn on your
vehicle's ignition to test the stereo to be sure it works.

If the stereo does not work, immediately unplug the wiring harness(es).
Recheck your connections or have a professional complete the installation.

If the stereo works, follow the instructions under "Installation."
