FEATURES

PRECAUTIONS

1. This unit does not operate independently. The unit must be used with a source unit that has a cable connec-

tion for CeNET wire bound (sold separately).

2. CD singles cannot be used.

●

The pickup, the heart of a player, is built in deep behind the door. Do not leave this door open for extended
periods to prevent dust adhering to the pickup.

●

When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater, dew may
form on the disc or optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If dew forms on
the disc, wipe it with a soft cloth. If dew forms on the optical parts of the player do not use the player for
about one hour and the condensation will disappear naturally to allow normal operation.

4. While the system is in play, do not plug or unplug the cables as this will cause damage.

5. This unit is compatible with CD TEXT. When it is connected to a center unit suitable for CD TEXT display, CD

TEXT can be displayed. (When it is connected to a center unit without CD TEXT function, CD TEXT can not
be displayed.)

6. Do not expose the magazine to direct sunlight, the car heater or other sources of strong heat. Replace the

CD magazine (CAA-397) with a new one if bent or otherwise damaged.

INSTALLATION OF CONNECTORS

Caution

Note:

Only the provided screws and brackets should be used during installation. Us-
ing screws other than those specified will cause damage.

pull it gently while holding the slide cap (a gray color part on the source
unit).

• Do not coil up the digital optical fiber cable with a radius of less than 1"

(3 cm). With a radius of less than 1", the performance of the cable will
be greatly impaired.

• When installed in a glove box or console box, make sure that the source

unit cables or cords do not interfere with the opening or closing of the
flip down door.
