Important notes  
Controls  
Prior to the final installation, carry out a sound check. If high distortion or intermittent  
sound is experienced, it is possible that the wiring from the CD receiver to the boat's  
electrical system is poor or that the battery needs recharging.  
If the battery and its charging circuit are OK, then rewire the yellow fused wire of the  
CD player directly to the positive terminal (+) of the boat battery.  
c. Area Selection  
By pressing SEL(2) button again, the unit will be in Area Selection mode, then turn the  
knob right or left to choose USA or EUR. Press and hold BD/FN for 2 seconds to confirm  
selection.

Marine accessory shops stock the connector blocks and the 10 Amp cable that may  
be necessary for extending the fuse wire connection.

The radio will automatically default to volume mode when powered on.  
Make sure that the black wire on the wiring harness is connected to a good ground  
point on the boat. If the chassis of the boat is used as a grounding point, make sure  
that the surface is scraped clean of paint before attaching the wire to it.  
It is preferable to connect the black ground wire directly to negative terminal (-) of  
the boat battery.

Turn left to decrease the bass.  
Turn right to increase the bass.
