INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Using the Mounting Sleeve

1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis.

If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.

2. Check the dashboard opening size by

sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.

3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the

top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.

4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard

opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition must be “on”). If the unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected.

5. Make sure the radio is right-side up, then

carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.

6. Attach one end of the perforated support

strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.

CAUTION: The support strap must be used to prevent damage to the dashboard from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration. CAUTION: For proper operation of the CD player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation. INSTALLATION BEND TABSPCD163

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Using a Kit If your vehicle requires the use of an installation kit to mount this radio, follow the instructions included with the installation kit to attach the radio to the mounting plate supplied with the kit.

1. Wire and test the radio as described in

step 4 of “Installation Using the Mounting Sleeve” on page 3.

2. Install the radio mounting plate assembly

to the sub-dashboard according to the instructions of the installation kit.

3. Attach the support strap to the radio and

dashboard as described in step 6 of “Installation Using the Mounting Sleeve” on page 3.

4. Replace the dashboard trim panel.

ISO Installation This unit has threaded holes in the chassis side panels which may be used with the original factory mounting brackets of some Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Hyundai and Honda vehicles to mount the radio to the dashboard. Please consult with your local car stereo specialty shop for assistance on this type of installation.

1. Remove the existing factory radio from the

dashboard or center console mounting. Save all hardware and brackets as they will be used to mount the new radio.

2. Carefully un-snap the plastic frame from

the front of the new radio chassis. Remove and discard the frame.

3. Remove the factory mounting brackets

and hardware from the existing radio and attach them to the new radio. CAUTION: Do not exceed M5 X 6 MM screw size. Longer screws may touch and damage components inside the chassis.

4. Wire the new radio to the vehicle as

described in step 4 of “Installation Using the Mounting Sleeve” on page 3.

5. Mount the new radio assembly to the

dashboard or center console using the reverse procedure in step 1 of “Installation Using the Mounting Sleeve” on page 3. Removing the Radio To remove the radio after installation, remove the trim ring by lifting in the center and pulling it off from either side. Insert the removal keys straight back until they lock, and pull the radio out. If removal keys are inserted at an angle, they will not lock properly to release the unit.

Your new radio/CD player does not require any maintenance. However, proper understanding of its use and handling will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. We recommend that you keep this manual for reference on the many features of this unit as well as how to set the clock. The following points should be observed:

• When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.

• The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly in extreme heat or cold. If such conditions occur, wait until the interior of the vehicle reaches a normal temperature before using the player.

• If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit will automatically stop play of the disc. In this case, allow the unit to cool before operating the player again.

• Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.

• Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit, either with or without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.

• When not using the disc player, always remove the compact disc. Do not leave an ejected disc sitting in the disc slot as this can expose it to sunlight and other causes of damage.

• Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user-serviceable parts or adjustment points inside.

• When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp conditions, condensation may appear on the lens of the disc player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.

• The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration. When driving on rough roads, however, occasional sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or damage the disc and normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease. Handling Compact Discs Dirt, dust, scratches and warping can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:

• Carefully wipe fingerprints, dust and dirt from the disc’s playing surface with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the outside of the disc.

• Never use chemicals such as record sprays or household cleaners to clean CDs, as they can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

• Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for long periods.

• Do not stick paper, tape or labels on disc surfaces. RESET BUTTON A Reset button is located near the bottom right corner on the front of the chassis. The Reset function is provided to protect the microprocessor circuitry and should only be activated under the following circumstances as it will erase the time and pre-set memories: Upon initial installation after all wiring is completed; If there is a malfunction of any of the switches on the unit, pressing the Reset button may clear the system and return to normal operation.PCD163

SPECIFICATIONS CD-R and CD-RW Capability Depending on media type and method of "recording/burning", some CD-R/RWs may be incompatible with this unit. After "recording/ burning" the session must be closed. Please refer to your software's recommended procedures for closing a disc/session. Review your recording software to familiarize yourself with the correct "recording/burning" procedures. We recommend using the latest versions of ROXIO

burning software. In addition, this unit will only recognize the CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) format "recorded/burned" onto a CD-R/RW. This unit does not support .MP3, .WMA, .WAV, .OGG or other formats. The CDDA format is the standard format of an "original store-bought" CD. When recording/burning a CD-R/RW make sure the CDDA format is selected.
