10 Disc CD Changer
(120-2182) Features Faxback Doc. # 57808
Your RadioShack 10 Disc CD Changer is a versatile, high-quality sound
system that lets you load and play up to ten of your favorite CD's in your
vehicle.
The CD changer plays CDs through your vehicle's existing sound system. If
your sound system does not have RCA input jacks, the Audio Adapter's/FM
modulator converts the CD changer's sound to an FM signal so you can hear
it by tuning your vehicle's stereo to an FM frequency. If your vehicle's
sound system has a pair of RCA input jacks, you can use an RCA cable to
connect your system to the CD changer's output signal through the supplied
Audio Adapter/Ground Isolator.
IMPORTANT: To connect the CD changer, your vehicle's sound system must
have an FM tuner and an antenna jack (for the connection to
the CD changer with the Audio Adapter/FM modulator), or an RCA
Input jack (to work with the Audio Adapter/ground isolator).
To be safe, we recommend you do not change your CD changer's
or sound system's settings in heavy traffic or during hazardous
driving conditions.

10-Disc CD Cartridge - lets you load and play up to ten CDs.

Before You Begin
Before you install your LCD changer's components, read all the
instructions in this owner's manual. You should be able to answer all of
these questions about your vehicle's electrical and sound systems:
Does my vehicle's sound system have a power amplifier with a pair of RCA
input jacks? If not, can my vehicle's sound system tune FM broadcasts
and does it have an antenna jack?
Which terminal in my vehicle's fuse box is for accessories?
How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?
Which of the CD changer's wires is the power wire?
Does my vehicle have a 12-volt negative ground system?
Note: Installation in your vehicle might require cutting or modifying
your vehicle.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your stereo, CD changer and your vehicle's
electrical system, you must follow the order of installation
shown in this manual, including instructions for making
connections and testing.
In addition to the supplied hardware kit, you need these items to install
your CD changer:
Cable ties or electrical tape.
Isopropyl alcohol.
Small-and medium-sized screwdrivers.
Choosing Mounting Locations
Choose locations for mounting the CD changer and its components where:
You can easily reach them.
Wires and cables will not interfere with the vehicle's pedals or other
moving parts.
No component is directly in front of heating vents.
All wires and cables will reach their connection points.
Before attempting to mount the CD changer and its components, confirm that
they will fit the selected mounting areas.
CAUTION: Be careful to avoid obstructions behind all mounting surfaces.
For the CD Changer
You can mount the CD changer horizontally or vertically in your vehicle's
trunk, on the floorboard, or under a seat.
CAUTION: Do not mount the CD changer upside down.
Notes: The CD changer's mounting area must be at least 13 inches (33 cm)
deep.
When you choose a mounting area for the CD changer, make sure it
is close enough to the Audio Adapter's mounting area so you can
connect both components with the supplied 16-foot (5 meter) CD
changer cable.
Do not mount the CD changer anywhere in your vehicle that is
exposed to direct sunlight (such as the front or rear deck) or
extreme heat (such as the engine compartment). Direct sunlight
or extreme heat can damage CDs and the CD changer.
Mount the CD changer as level as possible. If you cannot mount
the CD changer exactly level, make sure it will not tilt more than
15 degrees from the horizontal or vertical mounting position.
Make sure there is enough room for you to insert and remove the
supplied CD magazine from the CD changer.
For the Audio Adapter
You can mount the supplied Audio Adapter (ground isolator and FM
modulator) under your vehicle's dashboard.
Notes: The Audio Adapter's mounting area must be at least 5 inches (127
mm) wide and 1-1/16 inches (26.3 mm) high by 3-3/5 inches (91 mm)
deep.
When you choose a mounting area for the Audio Adapter, make sure
it is close enough to your vehicle's ground, power, and sound
system so you can connect them with the FM modulator and Ground
Isolator's wires and plugs (see "Connecting the Audio Adapter" in
Faxback Doc. # 57810).
For the CD Changer Controller
For ease of use, you can mount the supplied CD changer controller on the
dashboard using the supplied hook-and-loop fastening tape.
Note: When you choose a mounting area for the controller, make sure it is
close enough to the Audio Adapter's mounting area so the
controller's cord will reach the Audio adapter. The controller's
cord is about 5 feet (152 cm) long.
Removing The Transport Screws
The transport screws help protect the CD changer from damage during
shipment.
Before you mount the CD changer, use a small screwdriver to remove the
three transport screws from the bottom of the CD changer.
Note: If you do not remove the shipping screws from the CD changer, the
changer will not operate.
Save the shipping screws in case you might want to install the CD changer
in another vehicle. You can secure them to the back of the CD changer
with a piece of tape.
Installing The Remote Control's Batteries
Your infrared remote control requires 2 AAA batteries (not supplied) for
power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack
alkaline batteries.
CAUTIONS: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries
of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to
remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote control stops operating properly, replace the batteries.
WARNING: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
CAUTION: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a long time,
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
10 Disc CD Changer
(120-2182) Installation Faxback Doc. # 57810
Before you mount the CD changer and its components, test it by temporarily
making all the required connections.
CAUTIONS: For added safety and to protect your CD changer and sound
system, disconnect the cable from your vehicle battery's
negative (-) terminal before you begin.
You must make all other connections before you reconnect the
cable to your vehicle's battery. If you do not make the
connections in the order shown, the CD changer and sound system
might be damaged if any wire connections are made incorrectly.
Connecting the Audio Adapter
The supplied Audio Adapter includes all of the lead wires for connecting
to your vehicle's ground, power and sound system. There are two ways to
connect the Audio adapter to the CD changer and the vehicle's sound system
Using RCA Jacks
If your vehicle's sound system has a pair of RCA input jacks (either on
the stereo head unit or the power amplifier), you can connect the CD
changer to the sound system's output jacks.
1. Use a screwdriver to slide ISOLATOR on the side of the Audio Adapter
to ON.
2. Connect the Audio Adapter's RCA output jack to the sound system's RCA
input jack by using a cable of the proper length for your connection
with 2 RCA plugs at each end. Your local RadioShack store carries a
wide range of RCA cables.
Using a Vehicle's Antenna
If your vehicle's sound system does not have RCA input jacks, use the
Audio Adapter to convert the CD changer's sound to an FM signal, which you
can hear by tuning your vehicle's radio to the corresponding FM frequency.
1. Disconnect your vehicle's antenna from your vehicle's sound system,
then connect the antenna to the Audio Adapter's large black antenna
connector.
