Section 24 Connection Connection WARNING ! In some countries or states the viewing of images on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed and this unit's DVD features should not be used. CAUTION ! Do not drill a hole into the engine compart- ment to connect the yellow cable of the display unit to the vehicle battery. Engine vibration may eventually cause the insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment. Take extra care in securing the wire at this point. ! Make sure that cables will not interfere with moving parts of the vehicle, such as the shift lever, parking brake or seat sliding mechanism. ! The black cable is ground. When installing this unit or power amp (sold separately), make sure to connect the ground wire first. Make sure that the ground cable is properly connected to metal parts of the car body using a spade terminal sold commercially. The ground wire of the power amp and the one of this unit or any other device must be connected to the car separately with different screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire, generation of smoke or malfunction.

The current capacity of the cable is limited. - Use a fuse of the rating prescribed. - Never wire the negative speaker cable directly to ground. - Never band together negative cables of multiple speakers. ! When this unit is on, control signals are sent through the blue/white cable. Connect this cable to the system remote control of an external power amp or the vehicle's auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect it to the antenna booster power supply terminal. ! Never connect the blue/white cable to the power terminal of an external power amp. Also, never connect it to the power terminal of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in battery drain or a malfunction. 48 En
