system built in the car.
To prevent short circuits, we recommend that you disconnect the battery's negative terminal and make all
electrical connections before installing the unit.

dealer.
• It is recommended to connect to the speakers with maximum power of more than 50 W (both at
the rear and at the front, with an impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). If the maximum power is less than
50 W, change "AMP GAIN" setting to prevent the speakers from being damaged (see page 27 of the
INSTRUCTIONS).

unit will be seriously damaged.
• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the speaker wiring
in your car.
