CAUTIONS:
This appliance contains a laser system and is classified as a
“CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT". To use this model properly, read
this Owner's Manual carefully and keep this manual for your
future reference. In case of any trouble with this player, please
contact your nearest “AUTHORIZED service station”. To pre-
vent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not try to open the
enclosure.
ADVARSEL
Denne meerking er anbragt udvendigt pa apparatet og indiker-
er, at apparatet arbejder med laserstraler af klasse 1, hvilket
betyder, at der anvendes laserstraler af svageste klasse, og at

. Please read this manual carefully before proceeding with installa-
tion.
. Make sure all of the. mounting hardware is complete before you in-
stall the CDC6300.
. It is recommended that you remove the negative (—) terminal from
the car battery before you install the CDC6300. This will prevent
accidental short circuiting during installation.
. lf you have to do any work on the car body, such as drilling holes,
etc., consult your car dealer beforehand.
. Do not open the CDC6300’s case. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. If you drop anything into the set during installation, consult
your nearest CLARION dealer or’ an authorised CLARION service
centre.
. Never clean the surface of the CDC6300 with chemical solvents, as
this could damage the finish. Use a clean dry cloth.
. If a fuse has blown, check whether the CDC6300 is connected .cor-
rectly and the car's-electrical system is operating properly. Replace
the fuse only with the designated type. If the fuse blows again, con-
tact you nearest CLARION dealer or an authorised CLARION service
centre.
. If the car is parked for a long time in the sun during summer or in a
cold location during winter, the temperature inside the car will reach
extreme levels. As the unit may not function properly in such a case,
use it only after the ambient temperature has returned to normal.
e@ To protect the semiconductor laser from damage, the CD player
will automatically terminate disc play if its internal temperature
rises past a standard level. When this occurs, HHHH will appear
on the display to indicate that the standard level has been ex-
ceeded. Eject the disc from the unit using the eject button and
wait until the temperature returns to normal. (Note that the disc
should be removed from the player for protection.)
. 8-cm Single CDs
Avoid driving with an 8-cm single Compact Disc in the eject condi-
tion since vibrations may cause the disc to fall out.
Avoid storing compact.discs in places which may easily reach high
temperatures (such as the dashboard, rear tray, or seat).
11.
12.
13.
Condensation
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 the optic-
al 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 op-
eration.
Driving on bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause
the sound to jump. —
In the unlikely event that a problem arises with this player, do not
open the case and disassemble or lubricate the rotating parts since
the player uses a precision mechanism.

~ i THEFT PREVENTION
CATS III (Computer Anti-Theft System TI)
The CATS III system incorporated in your car stereo is designed to
minimise chances of theft.
The CATS code has not been input yet at the time of delivery, so the
unit works as a conventional car stereo. Therefore, you must input an
arbitrary 4-digit CATS code following installation. After the CATS code
is input, the unit will continue to operate normally unless it is removed
or the power to the unit is interrupted. After sending the unit or the car
for servicing, you will have to input your CATS code in order to operate
the unit. If a wrong CATS code is input, operation will not be possible
for approx. 15 seconds. If six consecutive mistakes are made, the wait-
ing period will become 15 minutes between each incorrect entry.
1. Be sure to record your CATS code and other data on the RADIO
PASS Card. You will have to show the RADIO PASS card when bring-
ing your unit in for servicing (see “Servicing”). Keep your RADIO
PASS card in a place away from the car stereo.
2. You must let thieves know that your unit is protected by CATS by
putting the stickers (supplied with your unit) on your car windows.
Operation
[1] Entering the CATS Code
1. If the power is turned on, press the Power Switch (@ to turn the unit
off.
2. Press the T.MODE button @), and while keeping it pressed, press the
Power switch (@) to turn on the power. This will enable input of the
CATS code.

4. Input the same four digits again.
(Example) Input 1-2-3-4
te say
When the second input of the CATS code has been correctly done,
the CATS code is registered. The unit's power turns on after “CODE”
appears on the display.
Notes:
1. Do not forget your CATS code. In the event that you lose your
RADIO PASS card and forget your CATS code, your dealer can send
the unit to the factory to have the CATS code erased; but only if you
can prove you are the rightful owner of the unit.
2. In case you have input a wrong 4-digit code in step 3:
If, for example you input 2-2-3-4 instead of 1-2-3-4, input any 4-digit
number other than 2-2-3-4 in step 4. The unit will then return to the
condition in step 2, where “0000” blinks on the display. Continue by
keying in the correct CATS code.
3. If the input numbers in step 3 and 4 do not match:
If you input, for example, 1-2-3-4 in step 3 and then 2-2-3-4 in step 4,
the unit will return to its original condition. Continue with steps 3
and 4,
4. In case you realise your mistake before entering all 4 digits in step 3
or 4, enter any digits to complete the entry. Then proceed as ex-
plained in notes 2 or 3 above.
Proceed in the same way to correct input mistakes made during [2]
Releasing CATS or [3] Erasing and Changing the CATS Code.
[2] Releasing the CATS Code (when you have removed the car stereo
or sent the car for servicing)
