The mechanism in the CD changer is "locked" into place during
shipment by the 4 transport screws, two on each side. Be sure to remove
the screws prior to installation. Retain these screws for future use when
transporting the unit for service/maintenance.
CAUTION
After removing the transport lock screws, place the supplied seals 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
l Be sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable, prior to installation.
l 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
l Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
l Where hot air is discharged from the car heater.
l In areas subject to extreme temperatures.
Incorrect installation can cause the CD Changer sound to "skip" when playing
3
a disc. Mount the unit firmly in place, using the supplied brackets and screws.
Be careful not to damage the car wiring.
4
l Be sure to use the supplied screws.
5
l Be careful not to snag any wires when tightening screws.
l Do not use any of the screws that are part of the brake or steering system to install the unit.
l This unit cannot be installed on its side, end, or upside down. Installation in such positions will cause malfunctioning

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.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
Set the anti-vibration springs to
position "H".
