Initial System Set-up
When operating for the very first time after installation of the unit or replacement of
the car battery, press the Reset switch @ with a mechanical pencil or other pointed
object.
Power Switching and Volume Control ®
Rotating the Power switch ® clockwise turns power ON and continuously increases
the volume. Rotating the control counterclockwise will continuously decrease the
volume, and turn the Power OFF.
Note: The noise level on compact discs is much lower than on analog-type records
or tapes; therefore, when inserting a disc, keep the volume control turned fully
counterclockwise, then adjust volume by gradually turning the control clock­
wise once playback begins. Do not turn clockwise abruptly as the excessive
power could damage the speakers.

Pull on the
volume control ® and rotate to balance between left and right speakers.
Fader Control @
Rotate the FADer control ® for your desired front to rear volume balance.

PROPER CARE OF YOUR DISC
Proper Handling
Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so
you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. If the surface is scratched, it may
cause the pickup to skip during playback. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed
labels on the disc. Do not write on the disc.
Improper Proper
©
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface could cause the pickup to skip when
trying to read information. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface with a
clean, soft cloth from the center of the disc to the outer edge. If the surface is
heavily soiled, dampen a clean soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral detergent
before cleaning the disc. (Fig. A )
• Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or otherwise damaged discs. Playing a
bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.
• Storage
When not in use, place your discs in their individual case and store them in a cool
place away from the sun, heat, and dust.
• Do not grip or pull out the disc while the disc is being pulled back into the player
by the automatic Reloading mechanism. (Fig. B)
• Do not pull the unit out from the dash immediately after a disc is inserted or the
Eject button has been pressed. If the unit is pulled out before an operation is
completed, the disc will be unstable in the unit and may be damaged. Do not
attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the power is off or while the unit is out
of the dash.
