Caution
• This unit is designed for negative earth 12 V
DC operation only.
• Do not get the wires 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 red power input leads only after
all other leads have been connected.
• Be sure to connect the red power input lead to
the positive 12 V power terminal which is
energized when the ignition key is in the
accessory position.
• Be sure to fix the TV aerial with the double-
sided tape.
• Run all earth wires to a common earth
point.
Fuse replacement
If the fuse blows, check the power connection
and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after
replacement, there may be an internal
malfunction.
Warning
Use a fuse with the specified amperage rating.
Use of a higher amperage fuse may cause
serious damage to the unit.
Handling the connected
cords
After installing and connecting the unit, use the
supplied clamp to tie up the cords in a bundle so
it will not interfere with normal driving
operations.
It is very dangerous for the cords to become
tangled with the gearshift lever during
driving.
Use the supplied clamp 0 to secure up
the cords on the passenger seat side.
Notes
• Secure the connecting cords away from the seat
adjustment rails and the door frame.
• Make sure all other electric devices such as brake
lights and headlights are working properly after
installation is complete. Check also that indicators
turn on and the horn works properly.

How to reduce the noise during radio reception
If you use the supplied TV aerial instead of the original glass aerial, there will be alternator noise
during radio reception. In this case, earth the TV tuner unit to a metal point of the car with the
supplied earth cord 4 as shown in the illustration left.
And earth the TV aerial to a metal point of the car (with the supplied earth cord) near the aerial as
shown in the illustration at right.

Installation
Before installing the
monitor
• This monitor is designed for safe operation
during driving.
• Be sure to install the unit in a suitable
position. Improper installation can cause a
serious accident.
• Be sure not to install the unit where it will
interfere with the airbag system.
Tips on the mounting location
• Choose the mounting location of the monitor
unit carefully.
• In order to prevent rattling from the vibration
of the car, make sure that the back or the
bottom of the monitor unit is touching the
mounting surface when mounting the
monitor unit.
Installing the monitor
Make sure the installation surface and monitor
position are suitable before beginning
installation. If you cannot find a suitable
mounting location, consult your car dealer or
your nearest Sony dealer before installation.
Choose the mounting position, then shape
the base of the monitor stand 6 to match
the mounting surface.
Bend the base gently so there are no gaps between the
base and the mounting surface.
6
Clean the mounting surface well with the supplied cleaning cloth 9.
(The cleaning cloth is disposable.)

Fix the stand with the supplied screws 7.
Note
Before drilling holes in the mounting surface, make
sure there is nothing behind the dashboard.

Attach the supplied plastic cover 8 over the
base of the monitor stand.

Peel off the protective film from the base of
the monitor stand 6 and attach the base to
the mounting surface.
Make sure the base attaches to the mounting surface
completely.
Notes
• The double-sided tape will not stick firmly if the
mounting surface temperature is less than 20 °C.
Use a hairdryer, etc. to warm up the mounting
surface before mounting.
• Consider carefully the mounting position
beforehand. If you change the position soon after
mounting the double-sided tape will be weakened.
• When removing the monitor stand, preheat the
mounting surface with a hairdryer then slowly peel
up to remove.

Tips on mounting TV
aerials
• Do not install these aerials on the windshield.
They are for rear window installation only.
• Make sure the bases of the aerials are fixed
securely before driving the car.
• Do not clean the aerials with alcohol, benzine,
thinner, gasoline or wax. These cleaners may
deform or damage the aerials.
• Position these aerials where they can't
interfere with other devices such as a car
radio or cellular phone.
• If your car radio aerial is the rear window
type, there may be interference during AM
reception. Position the aerials so as not to
interfere with AM reception.
• There may be disturbances in the picture
when you are:
— among tall buildings.
— near overhead wires or a power line.
— close to a flying airplane.
— close to a moving train.
— in the mountains or far from a TV station.
— in a tunnel.
— near an amateur ham radio or radio station
aerials.

Mounting the TV
aerials
Notes
• Install the bases of the TV aerials on as flat a
part of the rear window as possible so the
aerials will not fall off.
• Dry the mounting surface completely before
mounting in case the humidity is high.
• Warm the mounting surface before mounting
in case of low temperature in order to attach
the bases firmly.
• Do not apply force to the aerials or allow
them to become wet within 24 hours after
attaching the bases.
Decide the mounting location.
Consider carefully the mounting location. Make sure there is a distance of more than 10 cm
from the aerial wire for optimum tuning capability.
Stick the body of the aerial onto the glass.
If temperature is low, preheat the glass using a
hairdryer, etc. Set the aerial booster selector to ON in
areas where the signal is weak. The default selector
position is set to OFF.
Stick the wire to the glass starting from the
body of the aerial and working out.
Arrange the aerial wires in straight lines out from the
aerial body.

Wiring the aerial cords
Before wiring
• Avoid wiring locations subject to high
temperature.
• If there is alternator noise, keep the aerials
and cords away from the car wiring.
• As noise is generated if the aerial cord is
too near the TV tuner unit, be sure to
bundle the excess cord near the aerial
itself.
