FEATURES

PRECAUTIONS
1. This unit does not operate independently. The unit must be used with a source unit that has a cable connec-
tion for CeNET wire bound (sold separately).
2. When playing 3" (8cm) CDs, use an adapter that conforms to the recommended CD standards or the adapter
included with the mark. Refer to the adapter instruction manual concerning operation and loading 3"
(8cm) CDs in the adapter.
3. ● The pickup, the heart of a player, is built in deep behind the door. Do not leave this door open for extended
periods to prevent dust adhering to the pickup.
● 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 optical 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 operation.
4. While the system is in play, do not plug or unplug the cables as this will cause damage.
5. Do not expose the magazine to direct sunlight, the car heater or other sources of strong heat. Replace the
CD magazine (CAA-122) with a new one if bent or otherwise damaged.

INSTALLATION OF CONNECTORS
Note:
Only the provided screws and brackets should be used during installation. Us-
ing screws other than those specified will cause damage.
• When the CeNET cable is connected, it must be inserted fully and
securely. After connecting, fasten the cable using the cable holder or
cable clamp. After connecting, fasten the cables with cable holders,
etc.
• When removing the digital optical fiber cable, rotate it to loosen it and
pull it gently while holding the slide cap (a gray color part on the source
unit).
• Do not coil up the digital optical fiber cable with a radius of less than 1"
(3 cm). With a radius of less than 1", the performance of the cable will
be greatly impaired.
• When installed in a glove box or console box, make sure that the source
unit cables or cords do not interfere with the opening or closing of the
slide door.
2. Use the wing nut to hold in place the installation
bracket with bolt to the installation bracket, which
is attached to the unit. Then affix the cushion rub-
ber.
(Vertical Position)
(Horizontal Position)
(Suspending Position)
3. Remove the floor carpet and decide on the place
to install. Adjust the installation bracket with bolts
to suit the place of installation.
∗ The installation bracket with bolt may be bro-
ken off if it is bent many times at the perforated
line.
4. Remove the separator of the cushion rubber that
is attached to the installation bracket with bolt and
install accordingly.
5. Unfasten the wing nut and remove the unit.
6. Return the floor carpet to its original place. Use a
knife to cut into the carpet where the bolt can be
felt, and allow the bolt to protrude from the carpet.
7. Align the unit with the bolts and secure it with the
wing nuts.
For your convinience, identification marks are put
beside holes on the unit and the brackets. That is,
holes with the “RH/LH” marks are to be used for
horizontal, “RV/LV” for vertical installation and “RT/
LT” for suspending installation.
∗ For horizontal or suspending installation, use
the attached installation screw to fix the lead
clamp.
