INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks, and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases,
a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at
electronics supply stores and car stereo specialist shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to
make sure the kit works with your vehicle. If you need a kit but cannot find it available, call our toll-free “HELP” line at
1-800-645-4994.
UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING MOUNTING SLEEVE
1. Slidethemountingsleeveoffofthechassis. Ifitislockedintoposition,usetheremovaltools(supplied)todisengage
it.
2. Checkthedashboardopeningsizebyslidingthemountingsleeveintoit. Iftheopeningisnotlargeenough,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 that there will be 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 so that the
sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard.
4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so that the wiring can be brought through the mounting
sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections of the wiring harness are
secureandinsulatedwithwire nutsorelectricaltapetoinsureproperoperationoftheunit. Aftercompleting
the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must be “on”). If unit does not
operate, re-check all wiring until problem is corrected.
5. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up 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 rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard
from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.
7. Test radio operation by referring to the Operating Instructions.
INSTALLATION USING KITS
1. 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.
2. Wire and test the radio as described in Step 4 above.
3. Install the radio/mounting plate assembly to the sub-dashboard according to the instructions of the installation kit.
4. Attach the support strap to the radio and dashboard as described in Step 6 above.
5. Replace the dashboard trim panel.
ISO INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
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 specialist shop for assistance on this type of installation.
1. Remove the existing factory radio from its 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 MAXIMUM SCREW SIZE.
LONGER SCREWS MAY TOUCH AND DAMAGE COMPONENTS INSIDE THE CHASSIS.
4. Wire the new radio to the vehicle as per step 4 above.
5. Mount the new radio assembly to the dashboard or center console using the reverse procedure of step 1.

device will now operate through the audio
system of the radio using the volume, tone
and balance controls of the radio for
adjustment of the sound.
cp TIME/FREQUENCYSELECTOR(T/F)
This unit can display either the clock time or
radio frequency/CD player functions. Ordinarily,
the radio frequency or CD player track in-
dication is displayed, but the display can
also show the time when this button is
pressed. The time will then be displayed
for approximately 5 seconds after which it
will return to the radio or CD player function
display.
The correct time-of-day can also be set into
the unit by pressing the Time/Frequency
Selector button. This procedure is outlined
later in these operating instructions.
cq RESETBUTTON
A Reset button is located on the front panel of the
unit to the right of the LED display. The Reset
function is provided to protect the microproces-
sor circuitry and should onlybe activated under the
following circumstances as it will erase the time
and pre-set memories:
1.Upon initial installation after all wiring is
completed.
2.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 opera-
tion.
If a problem should develop while operating the CD player, an error code (ER-1, ER-2, ER-3, etc.)
may appear on the display panel. This can indicate a number of problems with the unit, includ-
ing a mechanical error or an error in the microprocessor control of the player. If an error code
should appear, try ejecting and re-loading the disc into the player. While the disc is out of the unit,
make sure it is clean, undamaged, and loaded correctly (label surface up). You may also try
activating the RESET button ?G on the unit, but this will also erase the time memory.
If the suggested measures do not solve the problem, contact an approved warranty station near
you for further assistance.

CD-R AND CD-RW PLAYBACK CAPABILITY
This model can play most CD-R and CD-RW media that contains audio programs.
Playback of both CD-R and CD-RW depends on the conditions of the recording
equipment and the CD-R or CD-RW disc quality. In some cases, a CD-R or CD-RW
disc cannot be played on this unit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio section of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We
recommend that you keep this manual for reference on the many features found in this unit as
well as how to set the clock.
The compact disc player section also requires no routine maintenance, but proper
understanding of its use and handling will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its
capabilities. The following points should be observed:
lWhen cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
lThe CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly in extreme heat or
cold. In case of such conditions, wait until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a
normal temperature before using the player.
lIf 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 off before operating the player again.
lNever insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the
mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.
lDo 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.
lWhen 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.
lDo not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
lWhen the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp conditions, moisture may
condense on the lens of the disc player. Should this occur, the player will not operate
properly until the moisture has evaporated.
lThe unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to minimize interruption
of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. When driving on very 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.
HANDLINGCOMPACTDISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound
quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:
lUse only compact discs with the mark .
