Installation Parts

1.To prevent a short-circuit,

???Be sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable, prior to installation.

???Connect power wires last.

NOTE: If the changer is to be installed in a vehicle that is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, 5 the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation not to cause a short circuit.

2.Do not install the unit in the following locations.

???Locations exposed to direct sunlight.

???Where hot air is discharged from the car heater.

???In areas subject to extreme temperatures.

3.Incorrect installation can cause the disc to skip when playing.

Be sure to mount the unit firmly in place, using the supplied brackets and screws.

4.??? Be sure to use the supplied screws.

???Be careful not to snag any wires when tightening screws.

???Be careful not to damage the vehicle wiring.

5.??? This unit cannot be installed on its side, end, or upside down.

Installation in such positions will cause malfunctioning of the mechanism.

WHERE TO INSTALL THE CHANGER

A few of the many mounting possibilities are shown below. The following precautions must be considered when selecting the mounting location.

Installation Cautions and Warnings:

1.Fuel Tank - WARNING! Never install above your fuel tank as the holes you must drill may pierce the tank or the fuel lines. Also check for other obstructions such as wires, etc.

2.Excessive Heat - Avoid areas exposed to direct sunlight.

3.Ease of Use - Make certain the changer is easily accessible for loading and unloading the CD magazine.

4.Distance - The data cable that joins the changer to your existing CDC ready radio is 15 feet long. Do not exceed this length.

5.If mounting to a plastic surface, do not use the self-tapping screws provided. Use the bolts and hex nuts provided for a more secure installation.

IMPORTANT: Failure to properly secure the CD changer is the most common cause of ???skipping??? and related CD play problems.

Changer must be mounted as explained on the following pages.

INSTALLATION

The ACC56M changer is designed for horizontal (flat), vertical (upright) or 45-degree mounting. It must never be mounted upside-down or on either one of it's sides as explained previously. 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.

OVERALL WIRING VIEW

This page is provided to give you a quick look at the entire wiring of the ACC56M. Use it to plan your wire routing paths and possible connection points. Detailed wiring is explained in the following pages.

NOTES:

???When routing wires and cables from the changer to the radio, it is best to conceal the wires.

???It may be necessary to press the RESET button on the face of the radio the first time after the ACC56M is lnstalled.

This will causethe radio to ???recognize??? that the ACC56M is connected.

HINTS FOR CORRECT AND SAFE OPERATION

This CD Changer is designed to be operated only on 12 volt DC negative ground systems. The unit cannot be used on 24 volt or positive ground systems.

Temperature

The unit may not operate correctly in extremely hot or cold temperatures. It is equipped with a built-in thermal protection circuit which will stop operation of the unit when the temperature reaches the preset level. If this should happen, the unit will resume operation when the vehicle returns to a normal temperature range. Remove the magazine from the unit when it is not being used during hot weather. If the CD changer is not used for long periods of time, remove the compact discs from the magazine, and store them in their cases.

Condensation

Moisture can condense on the laser lens of the CD changer during rainy and humid days, If this should happen the unit will not operate correctly. To remedy the situation, remove the discs from the unit and wait approximately one hour. During this time the moisture will evaporate and the unit will operate normally.

Interruptions in sound(Skipping)

The sound from the unit may "skip" and be interrupted if the anti-vibration springs are not set correctly, if the changer is mounted on-end or upside-down, or when travelling on very rough surfaces. If this should occur, check for errors made during installation or wait for the surface to improve.

3??????(8 cm) CD-Singles

This unit is not designed to play 3" (8cm) CD-Single discs. Inserting a 3" disc into the magazine, either with or without a 3" disc adaptor, can damage the changer and the disc. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.

HANDLING THE DISCS

Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterioration of sound quality. To take proper care of your discs:

1.Use compact discs that have the logo.

2.Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's signal surface(glossy side)with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles or light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.

3.Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals could irreparably damage the disc's plastic surface.

4.Discs should be put back in their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the sound to skip.

5.Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods of time. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.

6.Do not stick paper, labels, or tape on the disc surface.

7.Do not write with any type of pen, pencil, or marker on the disc surface.

8.To minimize fingerprints and smudges on the signal surface, always try to hold the discs by their outer edge and center hole.

USE OF THE CD MAGAZINE

Loading Disc Into The Magazine

This CD Changer uses a specially-designed maga zine to hold up to 10 compact discs. To load discs into the magazine, grip the tab on the magazine tray into which you will be loading a disc and pull it out gently as shown in Figure 1. Pull out only one tray at a time. Insert a disc into the tray with the label side down (play surface facing up) as shown in Figure 2. Push the tray back into the magazine as shown in Figure 3. Load discs into the remaining 9 trays in a similar manner.

Removing Discs From The Magazine

To remove a disc from the magazine, pull out the tray of the disc to be removed, lift out the disc, and push the tray back into the magazine.

NOTES :

???Avoid touching the playing side of the disc.

???Only one disc can be inserted into each tray of the magazine. Do not try to insert more than one disc into each tray as damage to the discs and magazine may occur.

???This changer is not designed to play 3" CD-5 Single discs(8cm). Inserting a 3" disc into the magazine, either with or without a 3"disc adaptor, can damage the changer and the disc. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.
