Audio Systems: Nakamichi RD-450 Radio/Cassette player, illumination control, radio cassette player


Question
I have acquired a used Nakamichi RD-450 radio/cassette player and wish to install it into my car and needs some guidance with regard to the wiring. There are 4 + 1 wires for power:

Blue - Power Antenna Control (where do I connect this wire?)
Yellow - Battery (where do I connect this wire?)
Red - ACC/IGNITION (where do I connect this wire?)
Blue/White - Remote Power Amp. ON/OFF Control (where do I connect this wire?)

Orange/White - Illumination Control (where do I connect this wire?)

The speaker wires have already been identified.


Answer
Yahaya,
Connect the wires as follows. yel, to 12 hot at all times. red, To 12 switched from ignition/key. Orange/white, To headlight power circuit (12 volts with head lights on). If you are going to use an amplifier for sub woofer speakers, Connect the blue/white wire to the remote in on the amp. lastly, in the future if you install a power antenna that goes up when you turn on your stereo, connect the blue wire to control the antenna.
