HINTS FOR CORRECT AND SAFE OPERATION

This CD Changer is designed to be operated only on +12 volt DC negative ground systems. The unit cannot be used on +24 volt or positive ground systems.

The unit may not operate correctly in extremely hot or cold temperatures. The unit is equipped with a built in self-protection circuit. When the temperature reaches a preset level, the protection circuit halts all unit operations. If this should happen, open a window and allow the car to cool.

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 this should happen the unit will not operate correctly. To remedy the situation, remove the magazine from the unit and wait approximately one hour. During this time the moisture will evaporate and the unit will operate normally.

Remove the magazine from the unit when it is not being used during hot weather and the CD changer is not used for long periods of time.

HOW TO USE THE MAGAZINE

1. Pick the tab on the magazine’s disc tray and pull out only of the trays.

2. Place the disc on the tray with its play surface facing down (label surface facing up).

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING DISCS

With new discs

The symptoms described below sometimes occur when new discs are used:

• The disc is not played even

when it is loaded.

• Operation changes to the next

disc before the first disc has a chance to be played.

• The same disc is played over

and over again.

• The designated disc is not

played.

These symptoms occur when there are burrs on the center hole or outside circumference of the disc and, as a result, the disc has not been loaded properly or the disc catches on something inside the magazine. In cases like these remove the burrs using a ball point pen or similar implement, as shown in the figure on the right.

Burrs

Remove all plastic particles of burr from surfaces of disc before loading in magazine.
