2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse Owners Manual - To use the external audio input function



To use the external audio input function

You can listen to commercially available audio equipment, such as a portable audio system, from your vehicle’s speakers, by connecting the audio equipment to the auxiliary audio con- nector (A). NOTE

● Use a stereo mini-jack connector to connect the audio equipment to the auxiliary audio connector.

To activate the external audio input mode

1. Connect the headphone port of the portable audio system to the auxiliary audio connector (A) using a commercially available connection cord.

2. Press the CD button (B) for more than 2 seconds. The display (C) will show “AUX” and then the external audio input mode will be activated.

3. To deactivate the external audio input mode, press the RADIO button (D) or the CD button (B) to switch to another mode.

NOTE ● The connected audio equipment cannot be operated with

the vehicle’s audio system. ● Depending on the connected audio equipment, it may pro-

duce noise from the speakers. ● Use the connected audio equipment’s own power source,

such as its battery. Noise may be produced from the speakers if the connected audio equipment is used while charging it using the acces- sory socket of the vehicle.

● Do not activate the external audio input mode when no audio equipment is connected. Otherwise, noise may be produced from the speakers.

● Connect audio equipment when the external audio input mode is deactivated or lower the vehicle’s speaker volume before connecting it. Noise may be produced from the speakers if audio equip- ment is connected after the external audio input mode is activated.

● Compared to the CD player mode and radio mode, the vehicle’s speaker volume will be lower in the external audio input mode. Therefore, be careful when switching from the external audio input mode to the CD player mode or radio mode since the speaker volume will be higher.

● Do not use excessive force on the connection cord. Other- wise, the cord and connectors may be damaged.

● If the connection cord alone is left connected to the auxil- iary audio connector, noise may be produced from the speakers.

● For information on how to connect and operate the com- mercially available audio equipment, refer to the owner’s manual for the commercially available audio equipment.

CAUTION! ● Do not operate the connected audio equipment while

driving. This could distract you and an accident might occur.
