Follow the wiring illustration below closely to obtain proper performance from your CD
receiver. Failure to make these connections properly may result in damage to your unit
which will not be covered under your warranty.
This receiver contains a built-in high power four-channel amplifier. To use the built-in
amplifier, connect the speaker wires as shown. To use the receiver as a head unit in a
2CH, 4CH or 4CH-plus-subwoofer mobile audio system which includes an amplifier(s)
or power subwoofer, use the RCA outputs to connect to the RCA inputs of your amplifier(s).
If you experience operation or performance problems with this product, compare your
installation with the electrical wiring diagram on the previous page. If problems persist,
read the following troubleshooting tips which may help eliminate the problems.
Should you need to remove the head
unit, first remove and store the front
panel as described on the preceding
page.
After you have removed the front panel,
insert the removal keys supplied with
the head unit into the two removal slots
as shown in the drawing until you feel
a “click.” You can now use the levers
to pull the unit from the mounting
surface. (Figures 10 and 11).
Figure 11 Insert removal keys until “click” occurs,
keys to pull out head unit.
Please follow these general instructions to
play a music CD disc. On the column to
the right, you will find instructions for using
MP3 discs.
Please note that only some of these
functions are available on the remote control.
Loading a disc
Press the RELEASE button to lower the
front panel. This will expose the disc slot.
Gently insert a disc into the disc slot until
you feel it being drawn in by the player
mechanism. If there is already a disc in the
player, first press EJECT to eject it and
remove it.
Playing a disc
The disc will begin playing automatically. If
you wish to pause playback, press
PLAY/PAUSE, and press again to resume
playback.
To start playback from the first track, press
PRESET 1. To skip ahead or back ten tracks
on the disc, press the +10 or -10 button.
Intro Scan function
The Intro Scan function is a convenient way
to find a particular track. Press this button
and the player will play the first few seconds
of a song, and then skip to the next song
and play a few seconds of that song. This
process continues until you press the INTRO
button again, and the player will continue
playing that song.
Repeating a track
To keep repeating the same track, press
the REPEAT button. To cancel the repeat
function, press again.
Random play
Pressing the RANDOM button will cause
the player to play all the songs on the current
disc in random order. Press again to cancel
this function.
When you insert an MP3 (or WMA) disc,
the player will begin playback from the first
track in the directory.
However, MP3 discs can contain many
more tracks than audio CD’s, so you may
wish to search for a particular track to play.
There are two search methods available.
TRACK SEARCH MODE
In disc playback mode, press the BAND
button once. The LCD will display the word
“TRACK.”
To begin searching, press SELECT or the
UP/DOWN button. Then press and hold
the UP or DOWN button to locate the
desired track, and press SELECT to begin
playback.
NAVIGATE THE CURRENT FOLDER
This mode permits you to navigate the file
directory present on the disc.
To enter this mode, press BAND twice. The
display will display “NAVIGA.” Press
SELECT to enter this mode.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to move
up and down the directory of folders and
files on the disc. To enter a subfolder ,
highlight it and press SELECT. You will then
see the directory of that subfolder and can
select tracks within it. So play a track,
highlight it and push SELECT.
VIEWING MP3 FILE INFORMATION
Since many MP3 files are tagged with
Music/Artist/Album (ID3-TAG) information,
you can see this as a list by pressing AS/PS
repeatedly.
The information will appear as a scrolling
display, including the folder and file name
as well as the ID3-TAG information.
Please note that if this information is not
present in ID3-TAG version 1.0 or 2.0 format,
it will not be displayed.

Follow these steps for a successful
installation:
1. Select the proper location which
accomodates the 3.45” overall
diameter, and mark its centerpoint.
2. Drill a hole with diameter of 3.2”-
3.3” (82-84mm). It is very important
that the hole does not exceed 3.3”.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
Many FM stations offer traffic
announcements in addition to their regular
programming.
If you enable the TA function by pressing
the TA button, when this station broadcasts
a traffic advisory, the radio’s RDS tuner will
automatically interrupt the regular program
and play the alert. When the alert is finished,
normal play of the broadcast will resume.
The TA function will also interrupt CD and
MP3 playback temporarily if the EON feature
has been enabled (see below).
There are some other settings for TA
behavior that you can change. See the
SELECT instructions on page 11 for more
information.
PTY (Program type)
A number of RDS stations can be selected
by the type of program they broadcast, i.e.
news, sport or classical music.
Press and hold the PTY button to cause the
tuner to switch to RDS PTY type tuning. If at
any time you wish to return to normal tuning
mode, press and hold again.
When you have entered PTY mode, the
display will show “PTY” indicating that the
mode is enabled, and the name of the first
program type, “NEWS.”
To view other PTY categories, use the
UP/DOWN buttons (a list of these categories
is shown on the next page). To select the
category, highlight it and press SELECT. If
there is no station found in that category, the
display will show “NONE PTY” and the radio
will return to normal mode.

the cup so that the mounting hooks
go through the slots in the back of the
cup.
If your installation is one in which the
cable is exiting out the bottom of the
housing (NOT the back), as you insert
the remote module pull the cable down
gently so it does not interfere with the
insertion of the remote into the cup.
4. Hold the remote in front of the cup
with the top up, and as you hold it,
rotate it about 20º counterclockwise.
2. If you are going to run the cable into
a hole in the mounting surface, drill a

the bottom relief hole and out along
the mounting surface, skip this step.
If you feel resistance when you insert
the remote into the cup, pull the remote
housing out and check that the cable
has been pressed into the curved slot,
as described in Step 3).

Before installing your new CD Receiver, please unpack the contents and check
that your package contains the following items:
RDS EON function setting
The RDS EON system extends the
functionality of the TA sensing to a wider
range of traffic announcements from both
local and national sources. It also allows the
unit to interrupt disc playback with these
announcements. In addition, it will play these
announcements (at normal listening level)
even if the audio has been muted.
(To set this level, see instructions on page
11 for setting V-PGM level).
To enable the EON function, press and hold
the SCAN button. Press again to disable it.
With EON enabled, when a traffic
announcement is broadcast, the radio will
switch automatically to TA mode, and “TP”
(Traffic Program) will be displayed.
