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.
Burrs
Center
hole
Burrs
Outside
circmference
• The designated disc is not
played.
Remove all plastic particles of burr from
surfaces of disc before loading in
magazine.
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.
WARNING
Although protective film is being marketed as CD accessories, use of these products
will result in malfunctions and should absolutely be avoided.

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 over the screw
holes.
These seals are used to keep dust, which could cause a malfunction, out of the unit.
Installation and Wiring Precautions
1. To prevent a short-circuit.
• Be sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (–) battery cable prior to
installation.
Note
If the changer is to be installed in a car 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 to avoid causing a short circuit during installation.
2. Do not install the unit in the following locations.
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
• Where hot air is discharged from the car-heater.
• When proper installation is not possible and where
a great deal of vibration is generated.
3. • Be sure to use the supplied brackets and screws.
• When installing the unit, do not use any screws that are part of the brake or
steering system.
4. This unit cannot be installed in any way except that which is authorized (on its side,
on its end, at a 45° angle or suspended). Installing it with its side facing down
upside down can cause malfunctioning.

Position of the built-in anti-vibration board
This unit can be installed horizontally (suspended), vertically, and at a 45° angle.
Once the installation position has been decided, it’s necessary to set the position of
the built-in anti-vibration board inside the unit. Please do this before performing the
procedure listed below. Vibration may cause the disc to skip if the unit is used before
properly setting the anti-vibration board.
• At the time of shipping, the built-in anti-vibration board is set for horizontal installation
“0”.
• There are built-in anti-vibration boards on both the left and right sides.
• Set the anti-vibration board position with a screwdriver before attaching the brackets.
For use when unit is installed horizontally or suspended:
Confirm that the built-in anti-vibration board is set to position “0”.
0
For use when unit is installed vertically:
The built-in anti-vibration board should be set to position “90”.

For use when unit is installed at a 45° angle:
The built-in anti-vibration board should be set to position “45°”.

HANDLING THE DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a
deterioration of sound quality. How to take care of your disc:
1. Use compact discs that have the mark shown on the right.
2. Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no
grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wipe with a soft cloth
should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Small dust particles or light stains will have absolutely no effect
on reproduction quality.
3. Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzene or
thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals would irreparably damage the
disc’s plastic surface.
4. Discs should be put back in their cases after to avoid serious scratches that could
cause sound skip.
5. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods of time. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
6. Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball point pen on the disc surface.
