6 Disc CD Changer System
(120-2180) Hints and Tips Faxback Doc. # 17107
Even though a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care. We
recommend the following precautions.
Keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when you are not playing
it.
Handle a CD by its edges to avoid fingerprints which can prevent the
CD changer's laser beams from accurately reading the CD. Your local
Radio Shack store sells a suitable CD cleaner kit.
Do not Write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label
side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.)
Keep the CD dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser
beam's focus.
If you park your vehicle in the sun, temperatures inside the vehicle
can easily reach levels that could damage your CDs. To prevent heat
damage, avoid leaving your CDs in your vehicle.
If a CD skips when you play it, the CD might be scratched. Your local
Radio Shack store sells a Scratch 'n Fix kit (Cat. No. 42-127) that
might help remove the scratch and stop the skip.
RESETTING THE CD CHANGER
If your CD changer or any component locks up or does not work properly,
or if the vehicle's battery loses power, follow these steps to reset the
CD changer.
1. Turn on your vehicle's ignition.
2. Slide the CD changer's door all the way to the right to open it.
3. With a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, press the
reset hole (to the left of UP ARROW inside the CD changer) for about 2
seconds.
REPLACING A FUSE
If the CD changer or its components do not operate, you might need to
replace the red power wire's or yellow continuous power wire's fuse with
