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  
lockedinto 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, its 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.

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 discs 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  
discs 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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING
