UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING MOUNTING SLEEVE
1. Open, fold down and reverse the front panel so the blank panel faces outward. 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 or
cause it to bend or bow. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.

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 and hex nut 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. Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the Operating Instructions for the unit.
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.
from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.
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 8 MM MAXIMUM SCREW SIZE. LONGER SCREWS MAY TOUCH AND

NOTES ON DISCS:
Attempting to use non-standard shape
discs (e.g.; square, start, heart) may
damage the unit. Be sure to use roundshape CDs only in this unit.
NOTES ON CD-Rs (Recordable CDs)/
CD-RWs (Rewriteable CDs):
1.Be sure to use discs with the
following marks only for play in
this unit:
2.The unit cannot play a CD-R or
CD-RW that is not finalized. (Please
refer to the manual of your CD-R/CDRW software for more information on
the finalization process.)
3.Depending on the recording status,
conditions of the disc and the equipment used for the recording, some CDRs/CD-RWs may not be played on this
unit.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio section of your new sound system
does not require any maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for reference on the
many features found in this unit as well as how
to set the clock. The compact disc player section
also requires no routine maintenance, but proper
understanding of its use and handling will help
you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following points should be observed:
! When cleaning the interior of the vehicle,
do not get water or cleaning fluids on the
unit.
! The CD player is a precision instrument
and will not operate properly in extreme hot
or cold. In case of such conditions, wait
until the interior temperature of the vehicle
reaches a normal temperature before using the player.
! If the temperature inside the player gets
too hot, a protective circuit will automatically stop play of the disc. In this case,
allow the unit to cool off before operating
the player again.
! Never insert anything other than a 5" (12
cm) compact disc into the player as the
mechanism can be damaged by foreign
objects.
! Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single
discs in this unit, either with or without an
adaptor, as damage to the player and/or
disc may occur. Such damage will not be
covered by the Warranty on this product.

! Use only compact discs with the mark:
! 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
