This unit is a very intricate device that uses a laser  
pickup to retrieve information from the surface of  
compact discs. The laser is carefully shielded so that its  
rays remain inside the cabinet.  
Therefore, never try to disassemble the player or alter  
any of its parts since you may be exposed to laser rays  
and dangerous voltages.  
Observe, the disc may be scratched or marked in the  
process.  
• When inserting a disc, do not put one disc on another.  
Failure to observe this may cause the discs to be  
jammed.  
Do not use discs that fit any of the descriptions given  
below. Using these discs may damage the discs or cause  
the unit to malfunction.  
Observe the following warnings when installing.  
RDisconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery  
terminal before installation.  
Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal  
connected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a short  
circuit. Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have  
specific procedures of battery terminal disconnection.  
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE  
UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM  
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL  
INJURY OR DEATH.  
RNever use safety-related components for installation,  
grounding, and other such functions.  
Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel tank, brake,  
suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.) for wiring or  
fixing the product or its accessories.  
RInstalling the product on the air bag cover or in a location  
where it interferes with airbag operation is prohibited.  
RCheck for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and  
other items before installing the product.  
If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to attach or wire  
the product, first check where the wire harness, gasoline tank,  
and electric wiring are located. Then open the hole from outside if  
possible.  
RNever install the product in a location where it interferes  
with your field of vision.  
RNever have the power cord branched to supply other  
equipment with power.

When wiring, take care not to damage the leads. Prevent them  
from getting caught in the vehicle chassis, screws, and moving  
parts such as seat rails. Do not scratch, pull, bend or twist the  
leads. Do not run them near heat sources or place heavy objects  
on them. If leads must be run over sharp metal edges, protect the  
leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar protection.  
RUse the designated parts and tools for installation.  
Use the supplied or designated parts and appropriate tools to  
install the product. The use of parts other than those supplied  
or designated may result in internal damage to the unit. Faulty  
installation may lead to an accident, a malfunction or fire.  
RDo not block the air vent or the cooling plate of the unit.  
Blocking these parts will cause the interior of the unit to overheat  
and will result in fire or other damage.
