4. Always use melting
f
uses with the proper values. When replacing a
f
use, make sure that the new
f
use has the same nominal value as the one you are replacing. Using a di
ff
erent
f
use can cause
fi
re or damage
.

5. Do not block the pla
y
er’s cooling vents, as that can cause its circuits to overheat, resulting in fi re. Install the pla
y
er properl
y
to ensure adequate ventilation. The air vents around the edge must be left free.

8. Before connecting/installing the pla
y
er disconnect the negative pole of the car’s batter
y
. Doing so helps
y
ou prevent electric shock or short circuits

9. While installing the pla
y
er never cut through cables or damage their insulation. Doing so can result in short circuit and fi re.

1. Do not connect to an
y
electric s
y
stems of
y
our vehicle that operate steering, brakes, or an
y
other safet
y
function. Doing so can result in loss of control over the vehicle, and can cause fi re.

2. Do not install the pla
y
er or its accessories in a location where the
y
can prevent
y
ou from controlling the vehicle safel
y
, e.g., between the steering wheel and the gear shift
.

3. Make sure that wires do not coil around neighboring objects. Arrange cables and wires in a way that does not hinder you in driving. Wires that inter
f
ere with your movement or hang over the gear shi
f
t, the brake etc. can be extremely
dangerous. (E.g., the connection cable of a media pla
y
er connected to the USB port.
)

our distributor. Man
y
malfunctions are ver

efore turning on the pla

USING THE USB/SD CONNECTOR
-
It is possible to connect USB memor
y
, MP3 pla
y
ers and media pla
y
ers to the unit’s USB port. SD/MMC memor
y
cards can be inserted into the memor
y
card slot. Pla
y
able fi le formats: MP3 audio fi le.
-
In some cases, external USB/SD devices may not be guaranteed to work properly. Manu
f
acturers occasionally change the internal design o
f
their products (e.g., replace a chip used inside), which does not change the product’s main technical
parameters, but it can aff ect the operation of devices designed for a similar but previous generation product. It is therefore possible that even products of the exact same t
y
pe
y
ield diff erent results. Do not use a USB hub; extension cords are
allowed. Do not connect both a USB stick and an SD card at the same time to the pla
y
er.
-
It is recommended to store the tracks you wish to play in the root
f
older. You can de
fi
ne the playback order o
f
the tracks by renaming the
fi
les or adding a number at the
f
ront. We do not recommend the use o
f
storage devices over 8-16 GB
because a large number of tracks can increase the time needed to access each track. Onl
y
store MP3 fi les for pla
y
back on the storage device; the presence of other data/fi les can slow down the pla
y
er or interfere with pla
y
back.
-
Dependin
g
on the
g
iven conditions, the unit can reco
g
nize MP3 fi les located in subdirectories too, however, this is not
g
uaranteed in all cases.
-
In order to protect their precision connectors, it is important to always insert and remove USB/SD/MMC devices in a straight position. I
f
you insert a device at an angle, you can damage the connection socket on the player itsel
f
.
-
SD cards are preferred over USB sticks because their design allows
y
ou to connect them in a safer and more stable wa
y
. In addition, SD cards do not stick out of the pla
y
er, which reduces the risk of damaging the pla
y
er b
y
accidentall
y
hitting the
c
onnected device or the magnetic lid. An
y
damage resulting from such user error is not considered as a manufacturing defect, and is not covered b
y
the warrant
y.
Warnings! The manufacturer takes no responsibility for lost or damaged data, even if such loss or damage occurs while using the player. Before connecting the storage device, it is recommended to create a backup of the data
and tracks on it on
y
our personal computer.

ff
the unit then mount it in the vehicle’s dashboard
.
If the mounting frame does not fi t tightl
y
in the dashboard, the perforated tabs can be bent outward using a screwdriver to ensure a tight fi t. The tabs to be bent should be selected according to the thickness of the dashboard.

. Carefull
y
slide the unit all the wa
y
into the securel
y
fi tted frame. This provides for a stable fi t.
• Depending on the vehicle’s design, additional metal straps or other means o
f
f
astening ma
y
be required. The manner o
f
installation ma
y
di
ff
er
f
rom the instructions depending on the vehicle model
.
• When removing the unit – as well as when mounting it – snap off plastic frame around the front panel. Slide a fl at metal plate approximatel
y
8 x 1cm in size into the central guide rail on both sides of the unit. This will allow the unit to be removed from
the metal mountin
g
frame. (If the unit has been fastened at the rear, the bolt must also be unscrewed alon
g
with disconnectin

f
or suitability according to the wiring instructions in this manual. Make sure that the connections are properly made and

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS / FAULTY CONNECTION
I
n some cases, increasing the volume will not proportionall
y
increase the bass level. This is dependent on the number of speakers used and their positioning, mor
e
e
over, a speaker in the vehicle might also be wired out of phase
.
1. When two front speakers are used:
p
• Reverse the +/- polarit
y
of either the right or left front speaker (the wires leading to either speaker should be reversed an
y
where between the head unit and the speaker).
2. When four speakers are used:
p
• A., I
f
both the
f
ront and rear speakers are built into the doors (or otherwise isolated
f
rom each other, such as in an enclosure), then the polarit
y
o
f
either speaker in both the
f
ront and rear should be revers
ed.
• B., If the front speakers are built into the doors but the rear speakers are built into the hat rack panel, then onl
y
the polarit
y
of either front speaker should be reverse
d
d
. The rear speakers’ wires should remain unaltered
.
To prevent hearin
