Will cutting
or
bending the
Hermosa~s
lnfiniMount brackets void the warranty
or
harm
the
unit?
No.
The
RetroSound® patented
lnfiniMount
bracket system
has
been
designed specifically
to
be bent,
cut
and modified
to
simplify radio installation.
Modification
to
the radio's brackets
is
actually
encouraged
to
ensure proper fit.
For questions
about
modifying the bracket system, please
feel free
to
contact
us
at
support@ retrosound.com
or

I
have
your radio with an
amp
connected~
but
hear
a whining/buzzing sound
through the speakers when I
step
on the accelerator.
If
you have an external amplifier installed and experience a high-pitched noise
that
varies
with
the engine's
RPM,
there are many possible solutions:
1.
Make sure the amplifier's gain controls are
not
turned
all
the way up.
Amplifiers
amplify
everything,
including
noise.
2.
Make sure
to
run the amplifier's low level
input
cables
(RCA's)
separately
from the amplifier's
power
wire.
3.
Try grounding the
amplifier
near where
it
is
installed.
4.
A
low
level
(RCA)
noise filter, known
as
a
"ground loop isolator,"
is
often
effective·
at
removing engine
or
alternator noise.
5.
Try a
filter
on the amplifier's 12
volt
power
lead. Make sure
to
use
a
filter
that
includes a ground wire.
6.
On
rare occasions, noise can be introduced through the antenna lead.
If
disconnecting the antenna makes the noise go away, you need
to
replace
or
repair the antenna plug
where
it
goes
into
the radio.
When
I
plug
in
my
flash
drive~
the
screen
says
"USB
ERR~~
and
it
won~t
play the
files I
placed on
the
drive.
1.
Make sure the files on the drive are .mp3
or
unprotected .wma (Windows
Media Audio) files. iTunes files are .m4a
format
and need
to
be converted
to
.mp3 format, which
can
easily
be
done using iTunes.
2.
Verify the capacity
of
the flash drive.
The
Hermosa radio
will play 1 gig up
to
32 gig
size
flash drives.
3.
Make sure the flash drive
is
not
NTFS
formatted. Always use the
FAT32
format
(most drives are formatted
with
FAT32
from the factory).
Be
sure
to
do
a
full
format
rather than a quick format, and check
that
none
of
the
files
or
folders have names longer
than
64 characters.
It
is
very
important
that
none
of
the audio files have DRM.
Use
only MP3 files
or
unprotected
Windows Media
format
files.
