Cautions on wire lead connections When using third-party wire cables (power supply wire), use the supplied screws to simplify the connection. Refer to the description below for the proper procedure. If you are in doubt about how to make this connection, consult your dealer. 1. Check the wire size. • For details on the wires size to be used, refer to the supplied "Cautions on Power Supply Wires Connection" and "Cautions on Power Supply Wires" (page 20), and then use the wire of the specified size.

CONNECTION CHECK LIST Please check your head unit for the conditions listed below: Remote Turn-On Lead a. The head unit does not have a remote turn-on or power antenna lead. b. The head unit's power antenna lead is activated only when the radio is on (turns off in the tape or CD Mode). c. The head unit's power antenna lead is logic level output(+) 5 V, negative trigger (grounding type), or cannot sustain(+) 12 V when connected to other equipment in addition to the vehicle's power antenna.

CD Input Gain Adjustment Control Set the R-A75M/R-A60F input gain to the minimum position. Using a dynamic CD as a source, increase the head unit volume until the output distorts. Then, reduce the volume 1 step (or until the output is no longer distorted). Now, increase the amplifier gain until the sound from the speakers becomes distorted. Reduce the gain slightly so the sound is no longer distorted to achieve the optimum gain setting.
