if its the AAR radio, the manual is somewhere between worthless and useless... basically, it says 'install radio'

I just opened the box of this AAR. Wordy instructions, without even a mention of how the radio gets it's ground. Assume it's the chassis.
A basic diagram of power/spkr connections is all that's really needed, for my brain at least.

Here's the info....Rich
edit sorry the pics are a little blurry.....already had 2 coffees and the arms are a little caffeinated.

The only non-common function is the fader. E.g. balancing front-to-rear in a four speaker set up. If you only have front speakers then you want that FULLY providing ALL the power to the front. That is in the 4th picture above under "Fader" in the lower left side.

Its a whacky deal of dialing the tuner all the way to the right until you hear a station play and then quickly adjusting things with the balance ring before the function flips off again and goes back to balance.

Basically the balance ring is doing double duty as a fader.

BTW - NEVER open one of these radios up....once you see the internals you'll be grossed out at your $650 purchase... About a 2" X 4" circuit card and some wiring to the front panel - that's it...
