BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT

Transport Lock Screws

The mechanism in the CD changer is "locked" into place during shipment by the transport screws. Be sure to remove the screws prior to installation.

Caution

After removing the transport lock screws, place the supplied seals (A) over the screw holes. These seals are used to keep dust out of the unit, which could cause a malfunction.

Installation and Wiring Precautions

1To prevent a short-circuit,

lBe sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable, prior to installation. lConnect power wires last.

Note

If the changer is to be installed in a car that is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation, not to cause a short circuit.

2Do not install the unit in the following locations. lLocations exposed to direct sunlight.

lWhere hot air is discharged from the car heater. lIn areas subject to extreme temperatures.

3Incorrect installation can cause the sound to "skip" when playing a disc. Mount the unit firmly in place, using the supplied brackets and screws.

4Be careful not to damage the car wiring.

5lBe sure to use the supplied screws.

lBe careful not to snag any wires when tightening screws.

lDo not use any of the screws that are part of the brake or steering system, to install the unit.

INSTALLATION

The unit can be installed horizontally, vertically or at a 45?? angle. The position of the built-in anti-vibration springs (left and right side), must correspond to the mounting position chosen. If the springs are not set correctly for the type of installation chosen, the anti-vibration compensation will not be effective and vibration may cause the disc to skip.

CAUTION

After setting the built-in anti-vibration springs, place the supplied Seals (B) over the holes. These seals are used to keep dust, which could cause a malfunction, out of the unit.
