NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic break-down because of the potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body. During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair parts. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care. NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight. If the optical pick-up block is defective, please replace the whole optical pick-up block. Never turn the semi-fixed resistor located at the side of optical pick-up block.

UNLEADED SOLDER Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size) : LEAD FREE MARK Unleaded solder has the following characteristics. · Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher than ordinary solder. Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350 °C. Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful! · Strong viscosity Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc. · Usable with ordinary solder It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.

Precautions Beware of the following points when conducting the talking test: · There is no fault if a talking can be made by adjusting appropriately the volume of the telephone of the other party and the cellular phone connected through the Bluetooth, besides the setup of this unit. · The speaker's voice will become loud naturally if the periphery is noisy, or become low if quiet (even though the speaker intents to talk on the same volume level). · The speaker's voice will become loud naturally if the other party's voice is loud.

1. Connect the Bluetooth audio device (or cellular phone with Bluetooth audio function) with this unit, and confirm the "Audio Streaming" icon ( ) lights. 2. Playback Bluetooth audio. Confirm the sound is emitted from this unit when this unit is switched to "BT AUDIO" source. 3. Confirm whether Bluetooth audio can be controlled by operating this unit (the [> M SEEK+], [SEEK m .] and [PAUSE 6] buttons operation).
Note: Varies depending on the connected Bluetooth audio device.

8. What to Do after Checking · After checking, select "SET BT INIT" from the menu list of this unit to execute initialization. (Connected device information is deleted)

Cautions
Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point. Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing). Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to avoid short circuits. Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only after all other leads have been connected. Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.

Precautions
Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations. Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts. Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.
Note on the power supply lead (yellow) When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component's fuse amperage rating.

For details on using the wired remote control, see " "Using the wired remote control" (page 35). Whether in use or not, route the microphone input cord such that it does not interfere with driving operations. Secure the cord with a clamp, etc., if it is installed around your feet. For details on installing the microphone, see " "Installing the microphone" (page 35). Use speakers with 50W RMS or higher power input capacity. Using Sony XB series full range speakers is recommended. When the amperage rating of the fuse used on your car is 10 A, make the power connection to the battery directly to avoid short circuits.

When connecting to the battery directly
When the amperage rating of the fuse used on your car is 10 A, make the power connection to the battery directly to avoid short circuits. to a metal point of car to the positive battery terminal
Notes Despite connecting to the power supply lead of the car, the unit may not fully provide its performance due to insufficient power. In this case, make the power connection to the battery directly. All power wires connected to the positive battery post should be fused within 450 mm (18 in) of the battery post, and before they pass through any metal. Make sure that the car's battery wires connected to the car (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a wire gauge at least equal to that of the main power wire connected from the battery to the head unit. During full-power operation, a current of more than 15 A will run through the system. Therefore, make sure that the wires to be connected to the +12 V and GND terminals of this unit are at least 14-Gauge (AWG14) or have a sectional area of more than 2mm² (3/32 in).

If you have any questions or problems concerning the connection, consult the dealer for details.
