cables
away from the power
cables
and output
speaker wires.
• If
you are using a source unit without a remote turn-on
lead,
the
EQS755 can
be
turned
on
with a switched accessory
lead.
This accessory power source is located
in
the
factory harness at the back
of
the radio. This lead
turns on and off with the ignition
key.

small flat-head screwdriver to adjust theAUX gain controls if you connect
an
MP3
player or video source.
