???This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage.

???To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the ??? battery cable before beginning installation.

???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 insulation 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.

???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 this unit.

???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.

???The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current products 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.

???Speakers connected to this unit must be high-power types possessing minimum rating of 40 W and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted here can damage the speakers.

???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 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.

???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 vehicle for several hours.

What is RDS?

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, program type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning to a desired station.

1RWH???

???RDS service may not be provided by all stations.

???RDS functions, like AF (Alternative frequencies search) and TA (Traffic Announcement standby), are only active when your radio is tuned to RDS stations.

Program Service Name Display

With this function, the names of networks/stations providing RDS services replace the frequency on the display a few seconds after they are tuned in.

??? &KDQJH???WKH???GLVSOD\???

Each press changes the Mode ...

Each press of the DISP/Clock button selects the mode in the following order: Program Service Name + PTY Information + Frequency

1RWH???

???After switching displays, if you do not perform an operation within 8 seconds, the Program Service Name is automatically displayed.

???Displaying PTY Information

PTY (Program Type ID code) information for the currently tuned station appears on the display for 8 seconds. The information is correlated with the list in the section ???PTY Function??? on page 25.

???Displaying the Frequency

The frequency of the current station appears on the display.

??????

AF Function

The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on a different frequency.

1RWH???

???AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use Seek tuning or BSM Auto Memory with the "AF" indicator ON.

???When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new frequency from the station's AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM1 and FM2 bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored station.

???Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search.

???When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the "AF" indicator flashes.

???AF can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.

???Activating/deactivating the AF Function

PI Seek Function

The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming.

"PI SEEK" appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI Seek. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded.

If the PI Seek is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previous frequency.

???Auto PI Seek

If the tuner fails to locate a suitable alternative frequency or if the broadcasting signal is too weak for proper reception, the PI Seek will automatically start.

???Preset Station PI Seek

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when traveling long distances, the unit can be set to perform PI Seek also during preset recall.

The default setting for PI Seek is OFF.

1RWH???

??? Refer to "Initial Setting Menu" for details on how to switch this unit ON/OFF.

REG Function

When AF is used to retune the tuner automatically, REG (regional) limits the selection to stations broadcasting regional programs.

1RWH???

???Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).

???The preset number may disappear on the display if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.

???Activating REG

The REG function can be turned ON independently for each FM band.

TA Function

The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source (tuner, cassette player or multi-CD player) you are listening to.

???The TA function can be activated from the cassette player or multi-CD player mode if the tuner was last set to the FM band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW band.

???If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the TA function lets you operate other tuning functions while listening to a cassette or CD.

???Only TP or EON-TP stations are tuned in during the Seek Tuning mode when the "TA" indicator is ON.
