(DSX-M80)
Connection/Installation
Cautions
• Run all ground (earth) leads to a
common ground (earth) point.
• Do not get the leads trapped under a
screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat
railing).
• Before making connections, turn the boat's
ignition off to avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power supply
leads only after all other leads have been
connected.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected
leads with electrical tape for safety.
• Choose the installation location carefully so
that the unit will not interfere with normal
boating or car driving operations.
• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to
dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high
temperature, such as in direct sunlight or
near heater ducts.
• Select carefully the mounting location to
avoid internal damage by water entering
the unit. Areas subject to water splashes
should be avoided. The Waterproof Car
Stereo Cover (not supplied) is
recommended.
• Use only the supplied mounting hardware
for a safe and secure installation.
Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with
other stereo components, the amperage rating of
the boat circuit to which the unit is connected must
be higher than the sum of each component's fuse
amperage rating.
Note on installing in boats with a start-stop
system
The unit may restart when starting the engine from
start-stop. In this case, turn off the start-stop
system of your boat.
Mounting angle adjustment
Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30°.
*1 Not supplied
*2 Speaker impedance: 4 Ω to 8 Ω × 4
*3 RCA pin cord (not supplied)
*4 Depending on the type of boat, use an adaptor
for a wired remote control (not supplied).
For details on using the wired remote control,
see "Using the wired remote control".
*5 Whether in use or not, route the microphone
input cord such that it does not interfere with
driving operations. Secure the cord with a clamp,
etc., if it is installed around your feet.
For details on installing the microphone, see
"Installing the microphone".
*6 Depending on the type of boat, use an adaptor
(not supplied) if the antenna (aerial) connector
does not fit.
*7 For more information on how to install the
SiriusXM Connect Vehicle tuner, consult the
installation guide included with the tuner.
*8 To connect a smartphone to the main unit, an
appropriate cable (not supplied) is required.
*9 To connect an iPod/iPhone, use the USB
connection cable for iPod (not supplied).
*10 Ferrite sleeve
*11 Use speakers with 50W RMS or higher power
input capacity. Using Sony XB series full range
speakers is recommended.
*12 When the amperage rating of the fuse used on
your boat is 10 A, make the power connection to
the battery directly to avoid short circuits.
*13 Before connection, arranging the yellow and
black leads of the power supply leads
required.
*14 Supplied with the marine remote commander
RM-X11M.

Making connections
To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized when the ignition switch is
set to the accessory position
If there is no accessory position, connect
to the +12 V power (battery) terminal
which is energized at all times.
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
To the power antenna (aerial) control
lead or the power supply lead of the
antenna (aerial) booster
It is not necessary to connect this lead if
there is no power antenna (aerial) or
antenna (aerial) booster, or with a
manually-operated telescopic antenna
(aerial).
To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional
power amplifier
This connection is only for amplifiers and
a power antenna (aerial). Connecting any
other system may damage the unit.

point.
To a common ground (earth) point
First connect the black ground (earth)
lead, then connect the yellow and red
power supply leads.
To the +12 V power terminal which is

Notes
• Despite connecting to the power supply lead of
the boat, the unit may not fully provide its
performance due to insufficient power. In this
case, make the power connection to the battery
directly.
• All power wires connected to the positive battery
post should be fused within 450 mm (18 in) of the
battery post, and before they pass through any
metal.
• Make sure that the boat battery wires connected
to the boat (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a
wire gauge at least equal to that of the main
power wire connected from the battery to the
head unit.
• During full-power operation, a current of more
than 15 A will run through the system. Therefore,
make sure that the wires to be connected to the
+12 V and GND terminals of this unit are at least
14-Gauge (AWG14) or have a sectional area of
more than 2 mm² ( 3 /
32
When making the speaker parallel connection, use
wires with more than 12-Gauge (AWG12) or wires
that have a sectional area of more than 3.5 mm²
( / in).
