I have from what I gather a '92 Sony xr-u220 deck and luckily I was able to find the service manual online but its extremely vague (everything is written in 3 or less letter abbreviations) and I was wondering if somebody would be able to tell me where some of the wires go.

I've found all of the speaker wires, but I don't know where these go. The manual only shows it with these same abbreviations.


edit: didn't realize my finger was covering the one wire it says AMP

So I found the battery wire (+B is the abbreviation), the ground (GND), but I don't know what the abbreviations in the picture are for and I also don't know what the abbreviation ACC is. There is a separate wire for the antenna that isn't part of the pinout also.

In the cars wiring, I don't know what to wire the "illumination" or "switched" wires.

 

The acc wire is for the wire that energizes when you turn the car on to acc or run. It's also called the switched wire should be red in color on the sony harness. The ant rem max is if your car has a power antenna. The amp rem max is for an amplifier output. What car is this going into? The illumination wire can be used as a dimmer. Do you have a factory adaptor harness? What year and model car is this going into? Hope this helps

 

So the acc wire goes to the ignition, or a switched source? That's the only wire of the deck's harness that isn't accounted for. But in the car's harness the switched source and the illumination are unaccounted for.

actually, it's going into a 89 civic hatch. So I don't have a power antenna or an amp.

What would the accessory wire be plugged into?

Yeah i mean thanks for the link, but that didnt really answer any questions. i knew what all the car wires were, as i said. but i think the deck is dead so i'm probably just gonna get a new one.
