INSTALLATION Procedure for Installation (Suspended Position) 1 • Confirm that the built-in anti-vibration boards on both the left and right sides are set to the horizontal installation position “0”. Built-in anti-vibration board position • Attach the left and right brackets (A) using the hexagonal bolt (M4 x 5). Hexagonal Bolts Hexagonal Bolts 2 3 • Determine the mounting location and drill four mounting holes. 3.6ø 11 • Attach the CD changer with the tapping screws (M5 x 12).
HANDLING THE DISCS Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterioration of sound quality. How to take care of your disc: 1. Use compact discs that have the mark shown on the right. 2. Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface (glossy side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wipe with a soft cloth should remove most particles.
