OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The SPS/Audiovox Six (6) Disc CD Changer system installed in
your vehicle has been designed to operate using the controls of
the factory radio. In general, the operation of the CD Changer will
be as per the instructions for the audio equipment included with
your vehicle Owner’s Manual. However, there are a few
differences as described herein, so please refer to this booklet for
questions you may have on the system operation.
Since the CD Changer will operate through the sound system of
the vehicle, adjustment of the audio functions (volume, tone,
balance, etc.) is made by using the controls on the car stereo.
The specific details on the handling of discs and the use of the CD
magazine (loading, removal, etc.) will be found within the Owner’s
Manual of the compatible changer used in the system. Please
note that the discs are loaded label side up in some changer
models and label side down in other models. The correct method
is shown in the manual for the changer and is indicated on the
magazine itself. Make sure to load the discs correctly as the
changer will not operate if the discs are inserted up-side-down.
SETTING UP FOR OPERATION
Following the instructions in the Owner’s Manual of the CD
Changer, load the desired number of discs into the CD magazine
and insert the magazine into the changer.
With the car stereo operating, turn on the CD Changer by pressing
the “CD” button on the radio. Play of the changer will begin and the
disc number and track number will appear on the radio display
panel. Play will begin from the first disc if a new CD magazine has
been loaded into the changer or will resume from the point at which
it had previously played if a magazine was already in the changer.
Adjust the volume, tone, and balance to your taste by using the
controls on the car stereo.
When the last track on a disc has played, the unit will automatically
advance to and begin play of the next disc in the magazine. When
the last track on the last disc in the magazine has been played, the
unit will automatically return to the first disc and continue playing.
To return to radio operation from CD play, press the radio band
button (“AM FM” or “AM” “FM” depending on radio type). To return
to tape operation from CD play, simply insert a tape into the
cassette deck. To return to CD Changer operation from radio or
tape play, press the “CD” button.

DISC SELECT
Press the presets (1 thru 6) to select the desired disc for play as
indicated on the display panel. The unit will load the selected disc
and begin play. To make a new disc selection, press the
corresponding preset button.
TRACK SELECT ( SEEK )
The Track Select function is used to quickly access the beginning
of a particular track. Press the Forward ( ) or Backward ( )
button to locate the desired track as shown by the track number
indication on the display panel.
NOTE: If the Backward Track Select ( ) is pressed before the first
5 seconds of a track have played, the unit will select the
previous track. If pressed after the first 5 seconds of the
track have played, the unit will go to the beginning of the
track in play.
FAST-FORWARD / REWIND (FF / REW)
High-speed audible search to any section of the disc can be made
by the Fast-Forward and Rewind functions. Press and hold the FF
button to advance quickly in the forward direction or press the
REW button to advance rapidly in the backward direction. During
Fast-Forward or Rewind operation, the elapsed time will be shown
on the display panel. Fast-Forward will not proceed past the end
of the last track on the disc and Rewind will not proceed past the
beginning of the first track. Play will resume from that point when
the button is released.
SHUFFLE PLAY
To access Shuffle Play mode, press the MENU button once.
Default mode is "Shuffle Off". To turn Shuffle "On" or "Off", press
either of the SEEK buttons.
When the Shuffle feature is being used the indication “SHF” will
momentarily appear on the display panel and the tracks on the disc
will be played in a random, shuffled order. The Track Select
( SEEK ) function will also select tracks in shuffled order instead
of the normal progression.
COMPRESSION ADJUST (COMP)
This feature is not available on the CD Changer in your vehicle so
activating this button will not have any effect, although the “C”
indication will appear on the display panel.
