BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT
Transport Lock Screws
The mechanism in the CD changer is "locked" into place during shipment by the
transport screws. Be sure to remove the screws prior to installation.
Caution
After removing the transport lock screws, place the supplied seals (A) over the screw
holes. These seals are used to keep dust out of the unit, which could cause a malfunction.
Installation and Wiring Precautions
To prevent a short-circuit,
1
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 car that is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery
cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation,
not to cause a short circuit.
Do not install the unit in the following locations.
2
Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
Where hot air is discharged from the car heater.
In areas subject to extreme temperatures.
Incorrect installation can cause the sound to "skip" when playing a disc.
3
Mount the unit firmly in place, using the supplied brackets and screws.
Be careful not to damage the car wiring.
4
Be sure to use the supplied screws.
5
Be careful not to snag any wires when tightening screws.
Do not use any of the screws that are part of the brake or steering system, to install the unit.
This unit cannot be installed on its side, end, or upside down. Installation in such positions will cause malfunctioning of the
6
mechanism.

INSTALLATION
The unit can be installed horizontally, vertically or at a 45° angle. 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.
