What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this book clear and easy to follow. For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new stereo like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these instructions before you begin the installation. Most installations are straightforward and can be handled by a do-it-yourselfer with the right tools, patience, and the ability to follow instructions. But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for everyone. If you still don't feel confident after reading this book, consider turning the installation job over to someone better suited to it. Warranty Service If your Jensen stereo should ever require service, you will need to have the original dated receipt. If you ever need to return the unit for any reason, always include the receipt with the product. · Fuse Adapters ........................... 5 · Cars with a Single Speaker Wire ............................. 5 Wiring with a Wiring Adapter ......... 6 Connect Wires ............................... 6 Install Wiring Inside the Car .......... 6 Wiring Diagram­Advanced Installation ..................................... 7 Testing .......................................... 8 Reconnect Battery ......................... 8 Test Power Wiring .......................... 8 Test Antenna Connection .............. 8 Test Memory Wiring ....................... 8 Set the Clock ................................. 8 Test Speaker Connections ............ 9 Final Installation ........................... 10 Final Installation­ISO-DIN ........... 10 Troubleshooting ....................... 11 Removing Radio from Dash ........ 11 · Securing Wires ........................ 11 Specifications and Warranty ........................ 12 Technical Assistance For technical assistance with the installation of the CR560X, call 1-800-323-0221. 5588 CR560X_EIN.p65 1 2/29/00, 10:46 PM ® CR560X Installation Before You Begin Installation Before you begin, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have everything you need before you take your dashboard apart. Tools and Supplies Needed Basic Installation: · · · · Flat and Phillips screwdrivers Wire cutter Wire stripper Tools to remove existing radio (screwdriver, socket wrench set or other tools) · Radio removal tool · Electrical tape Adapters for Easier Installation Electrical and dashboard adapters make installation easier. Purchase adapters from your local Jensen retailer, electronics store or car stereo specialty store. Wiring Harness Adapter For a basic installation, you can purchase a wiring harness adapter for your car's existing radio connectors. This makes installation easy. Advanced Installation: · · · · · · · Soldering iron Crimping tool Volt meter or 12 volt test light Solder Crimp connectors 14-18 gauge wire for power connections Speaker wire Dashboard Adapters The opening in your dashboard may not match the size of your Jensen radio. Purchase an adapter kit for your car. Antenna Adapter (GM cars) 1990 and newer GM cars have a small antenna connector. You will need an adapter when installing this radio in a newer GM car. Speaker Requirements Only connect the CR560X to speakers rated in the load impedance range of 4 to 8 ohms. Speakers with a load impedance less than 4 ohms could damage the CR560X. 2 5588 CR560X_EIN.p65 2 2/29/00, 10:46 PM ® CR560X Professional Tip Connections Good wire connections are very important for best sound and long-term reliability. Here are two methods: Professional Tip Crimp Connections Purchase crimp connectors and crimping tool. Connectors are color coded. This Jensen radio uses RED connectors (18-20 gauge wire). 1. Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from both wires. 2. Insert into connector. 3. Crimp tightly. You can make permanent splices (using butt connectors) or select connectors that can be removed and reinstalled. 1 Strip Wire 1/4' (6mm) Splice 1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires. 2. Wrap wires together 3. Fold wires over 4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice. Splice Strip Wire 1/2" (12mm) 1 Solder Rosin core solder Heat wires not solder Soldering iron 2 3 2 3 4 Solder Solder is the best way to connect wires, but it takes skill and practice. Splice the wires (as shown above). Before taping, heat the wires (not the solder). When the wires are hot enough, touch the solder to the splice. The solder will flow over the wires. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice. Important: Be very careful when soldering wires in your car. Cover nearby carpeting and seats to prevent damage from hot solder. Professional Tip Upgrading Your System International Jensen makes a wide range of car stereo products that will make your car system sound better, great or INCREDIBLE!
