Radio/Stereo: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The Villager may be equipped with a base level, mid level or high level radio. The operation of each is different.

Base Level
The base level radios are one box systems. These are the Electronic Search Radio (ESR) and Electronic Search Cassette (ESC). These units receive battery voltage at all times from Fuse 23 (Audio) via circuit RA01 (BR/W) to maintain the radio memory function. Ignition voltage is supplied to these radios via circuit RA03 (O) in "ACC" or "RUN". This voltage allows the radio to wake up when turned on. These radios supply audio signals directly to each speaker. The display illumination is controlled by the circuits LF01 (PK) and LF91 (PK/BK). Circuit LF01 supplies battery voltage to these radios when the Park Lamps or Headlamps are off, and dimmer controlled voltage when these lights are on. Circuit L1 provides the dimmer signal return.

Mid Level
The mid level radio is a two box system. This system is the Premium Analog Cassette (PAC) radio along with rear radio controls. This radio receives battery voltage at all times from Fuse 23 (Audio) via circuit RA01 (BR/W) to maintain the radio memory functions. Ignition voltage is supplied to this radio via circuit RA03 (O) and the rear radio control via circuit RA31 (O) in "ACC" or "RUN". This voltage allows the radio and rear radio control to wake up when turned on. This radio supplies audio signals directly to each speaker, but the rear speaker (+) wires, R3 (LG/BK) and R2 (LG), are sent to the rear radio control for the headphone outputs. Circuits R1 (BL/BK) and RA1 2 (BL/Y) are the rear speaker return wires. Circuits RA14 (LB) and RA16 (LB/BK) are the remote inputs to the radio controls. These signals allow seek tuning, band select, station memory select and volume control from the rear radio. The display illumination is controlled by the circuits LF01 (PK) and LF19 (PK/BK). Circuit LF01 supplies battery voltage to this radio when the Park Lamps or Head lamps are off, and dimmer controlled voltage when these lights are on. Circuit LF01 provides the dimmer signal return.

High Level
The High Level Radio is a three, four or five box system. These systems include the Premium Analog Cassette (PAC) radio, rear radio controls, an amplifier and an optional Compact Disc (CD) player. The Super Sound System comes with all of the above plus a subwoofer amplifier. The Radio and CD player receive battery voltage at all times from Fuse 23 via circuits RA01 (BR/W) and RB50 (BR/W) to maintain the radio and CD memory functions. Ignition voltage is supplied to the radio, CD player, and circuits RA03 (O) and to the rear radio control via circuits RA03, RB41, and RB42 in "ACC" or "RUN". This voltage allows the radio, CD player and rear radio control to wake up when turned on. The amplifier and Subwoofer Amplifier receive Ignition voltage from Fuse 14 via circuits RB26 (O/BK) and RB54 (O). This radio supplies audio signals directly to the amplifier and the rear radio control. The amplifier supplies the audio signals to each speaker and the subwoofer amplifier. Circuits RB35 (BL) and RB36 (Y) are the remote inputs to the radio controls. These signals allow seek tuning, band select, station memory select, and volume control from the rear radio. The radio and CD display illumination are controlled by the circuits LF01 (PK) and LF91 (PK/BK) and LF02 (PK) and LF02 (PK/BK). Circuits LF91 and LF92 supply battery voltage to this radio and CD player when the Park Lamps or Headlamps are off, and dimmer controlled voltage when these lights are on. Circuits L1 and L2 provide the dimmer signal return. The subwoofer amplifier supplies the audio signal to a single subwoofer speaker.
