HINTS FOR CORRECT AND
SAFE OPERATION
The CDC-825 is designed to be operated only on 12 volt DC
negative ground systems. The unit can not 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 pre-set 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 discs are left in an extremely hot car they
may warp. 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, or right after the heater is turned on in the
car (if the changer is mounted in the passenger compartment). 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 antivibration springs are not set correctly, if the changer is mounted
in excess of a 15° angle, or when travelling on very rough road
surfaces. If this should occur, check for errors made during
installation or wait for the road surface to improve.
3" (8cm) CD-SINGLES
The CDC-825 is not designed to play 3" (8cm) CD-Single discs.
Inserting a 3" disc intothe 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 mark shown on the right.
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 DISCS INTO THE MAGAZINE
The CDC-825 CD Changer uses a specially-designed magazine to
hold up to 10 compact discs. Insert discs into the magazine with the
label side up as shown in Figure 1. As each disc is inserted into the
magazine, the push-out knob for that slot will be raised as shown in
Figure 2.
REMOVING DISCS FROM THE MAGAZINE
To remove a disc from the magazine, press the push-out knob for
the desired disc and carefully remove the disc by holding the edge
as shown in Figure 3.
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.
The CDC-825 is not designed to play 3" CD-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.
