NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro­static break-down because of the potential difference generated
by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human
body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.

NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK

Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra­diation exposure.

Notes on chip component replacement

•Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam­aged by heat.

Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

•Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C dur­ing repairing.

• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).

• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.

UNLEADED SOLDER

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead­free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with

the lead free mark due to their particular size)

: LEAD FREE MARK

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.

• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 ˚C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350 ˚C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the

heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges oc­cur such as on IC pins, etc.

• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

Caution

• This unit is designed for negative ground 12 V
DC operation only.

• Before making connections, turn the car ignition
off to avoid short circuits.

• Connect the yellow and red power input leads
only after all other leads have been connected.

• Be sure to connect the red power input lead to
the positive 12 V power terminal which is
powered when the ignition switch is in the
accessory position.

• Run all ground wires to a common ground

point.

• The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase eye hazard.

• Use of controls adjustments or performance of
procedures of other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Not es on the po wer supply cord (yellow)

•When connecting the player in combination with
other stereo components, the connected car
circuit’s rating must be higher than the sum of
each component’s fuse.

•When no car circuits are rated high enough,
connect the unit directly to the battery.

Not es on inst allation

• Before installation, be sure to turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position or take the key out.
Installing the player and the monitor (not
supplied) with the ignition on may cause battery
drain or a short circuit.

• Do not damage any pipes, tubes, the fuel tank or
electric wiring when installing the player and the
monitor (not supplied). This can cause a fire. If
you drill a hole in car panels, make sure that any
hidden car parts will not be damaged.

• Do not use any nuts or bolts for safety devices
such as steering linkage, fuel supply or braking
systems. This can cause a fire or an accident.

• Take care to prevent cords and wires from
getting tangled or crimped in the moving portion
of a seat rail.

Precautions

•Choose the mounting location carefully.

•Avoid installing the player in places:
— subject to temperatures below – 30 °C (– 22

°F) or above 45 °C (113 °F)
— subject to direct sunlight.
— subject to heat;

Keep all products away from nearby hot

vehicle components that heat up over time

such as hoses, high current wires, and

braking system components. Make sure to

leave enough room for ventilation of

openings and slots to protect from over

heating.
— near heat sources such as heaters.
— exposed to rain or moisture.
— exposed to excessive dust or dirt.
— subject to excessive vibration.
— where the fuel tank might be damaged by

the tapping screws.
— where wire harnesses or pipes might be

under the place.
— where the screws or the player itself might

damage the spare tire, tools, or other

equipment in or under the trunk.
— where the player might interfere with with

the normal movements of the driver.
— under the floor carpet, as the heat

dissipation from the player might damage

the carpet.

•Be sure to use only the supplied mounting
hardware for a safe and secure installation.

•Use only the supplied screws.

•Make holes of ø 3 mm (
making sure there is nothing on the other side
of the mounting surface.

•Do not install the player on inclined places.
Install the player on a level surface.

•Install the player just horizontally or vertically.

Remote control sensor (4)

Before installing the remote control sensor,
make sure the maximum signal distance of
remote control. The remote control can be used
up to approximately 3 m (9.8 ft) from the light
sensor, in a conical area spreading roughly 15º
from the light sensor.

For your saf et y

After installing the remote control sensor, be
sure to use the cord cramp (not supplied) to
secure up the cord onto the passenger seat side,
as it may interfere with the normal driving
operation. It is very dangerous for the cord to
get tangled with the gearshift lever during
driving.

Warning when installing in a car
without ACC (accessory)
position on the ignition key
switch

Aft er turning off the igniti on, be sure to
press and hold the POWER button on the
card remote commandar for more than 2
seconds. Make sure that t he green li ght of
the POWER button on the player is turned
off.

Otherwise, the player is not turned off and this
