UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING MOUNTING SLEEVE
1. Open, fold down and remove the detachable front panel, if it is attached to the chassis, by grasping the
grooved center portion and pulling the panel assembly straight out. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis.
If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.
2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully
cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening

4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so that the wiring can be brought through the mounting
sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections of the wiring harness are
secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape to insure proper operation of the unit. After completing

the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must be “on”). If unit does not
operate, re-check all wiring until problem is corrected.
NOTE: Adjust AM antenna trimmer NOW. Refer to label on right side of chassis for adjustment instructions.
Once proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
5. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully seated and
the spring clips lock it into place.
6. Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using
the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either
above or below the radio using the screw provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.
CAUTION: The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard
7. Test radio operation by referring to the Operating Instructions.
INSTALLATION USING KITS
1. If your vehicle requires the use of an installation kit to mount this radio, follow the instructions included with
the installation kit to attach the radio to the mounting plate supplied with the kit.
2. Wire and test the radio as described in Step 4 above.
3. Install the radio/mounting plate assembly to the sub-dashboard according to the instructions of the installation kit.
4. Attach the support strap to the radio and dashboard as described in Step 6 above.
5. Replace the dashboard trim panel.
ISO INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
This unit has threaded holes in the chassis side panels which may be used with the original factory mounting
brackets of some Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Hyundai and Honda vehicles to mount the radio to the
dashboard. Please consult with your local car stereo specialist shop for assistance on this type of installation.
1. Remove the existing factory radio from its dashboard or center console mounting. Save all hardware and
brackets as they will be used to mount the new radio.
2. Carefully un-snap the plastic frame from the front of the new radio chassis. Remove and discard the frame.
3. Remove the factory mounting brackets and hardware from the existing radio and attach them to the new radio.
CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED M5 X 6 MM MAXIMUM SCREW SIZE.
4. Wire the new radio to the vehicle as per step 4 above.

NOTES ON USE OF FRONT PANEL
1. Make sure the front panel is oriented
correctly when sliding it into the front
mounting plate, as it cannot be attached
when up-side down. Use moderate
pressure to fully seat the panel into
position.
2. To verify correct panel installation,
swing the panel assembly up into
position until it locks easily into place.
If any resistance is encountered, re-check
panel orientation in chassis mounting
plate.
3. When taking the front panel with you,
please use the supplied carrying case
to protect the panel from dirt and
damage. Make sure there is no dust
or dirt on the electrical terminals on
the back of the panel as this could

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio portion of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We
recommend you keep this manual for general reference of the many features found in
this unit.
As with any cassette player, the cassette section of this sound system does require a
minimum of maintenance to keep it in good working condition. The following simple care
and maintenance suggestions should be followed to prevent malfunctions of the
cassette system.
Cassette Care:
1. Purchase a cassette cleaning kit from your local retail store. Use it! At least every
20 to 30 hours of operation you must clean the cassette mechanism. A dirty
cassette player will have a poor sound.
2. Do not use cassettes that exceed 45 minutes of play on each side.
3. Do not insert a cassette that appears to be broken, twisted or dirty or with loose or
torn labels on it.
4. Always keep your cassettes away from direct sunlight or exposure to sub-freezing
conditions. If a cassette is cold, allow it to warm up before use.
5. Do not keep a cassette in the player when not in use.
6. Before inserting a cassette in the player, check that the tape is tightly wound on the
reels.
Take up any excess slack using a pencil to turn the drive hub in the cassette (see diagram).

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of
sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:
COMPACT
Use only compact discs with the mark:
DIGITAL AUDIO
Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s playing surface (shiny
side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended
periods.
Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type
of marker.
