Technical Assistance
If you require assistance, contact Technical Support at 1-800-323-4815 from 8:30 am to 7:00pm EST Monday through Friday and from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST on Saturday.

Connecting the Satellite Radio Receiver (optional)
Before you can listen to XM® satellite radio, you must install the XM® Direct Receiver and antenna (purchased separately). The XM® Direct Receiver is the central data-receiving equipment required to process the satellite signals from the external antenna. It is typically installed in the dash, under the seat, or in the trunk or rear of the vehicle. Do not mount the XM® Direct Receiver near a heater vent or where it can be exposed to extreme temperatures. In addition, when running the wire for the external antenna do not kink or pinch the antenna cable. A sharp 90-degree bend or slight “nick” to the outer cable sheath will cause signal degradation. The wiring diagram on page 3 will help you identify the proper connections.

INSTALLATION

This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio into the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle. If you have trouble locating a kit or need installation assistance, contact Technical Support at 1-800- 323-4815 from 8:30 am to 7:00 pm EST Monday through Friday and from 9:00 am to 5:00pm EST on Saturday.

Universal Installation Using Mounting Sleeve

Remove the detachable front panel, if it is attached to the chassis, by pushing the “Release” button.
Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been removed. If it is locked into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to disengage it. The removal keys are depicted on page 5.
Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.
Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.
After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on to confirm operation (the vehicle ignition switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the ignition switch off and proceed with the final mounting of the chassis.
Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.
Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and hex nut provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it.
CAUTION: The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.
Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test the radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.

NOTE: For proper operation of the CD player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° horizontally. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation.

MP3/WMA written in formats other than those listed above will not play successfully and their file names or folder names will not be displayed properly.

MP3/WMA Encoder and CD Writer Settings
Use the following settings when compressing audio data in MP3 data with the MP3 encoder.

Transfer bit rate : 8 – 320 kbps
Sampling frequency : 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz

When using a CD writer to record MP3/WMA up to the maximum disc capacity, disable additional writing. To record an empty disc up to the maximum capacity at once, select the “disc at once” option.

Entering ID3 Tag
This unit supports ID3 tag versions 1.0 and 1.1. For the character codes, refer to the table to the right. The unit also supports CD-TEXT encoded discs for Album, Track and Artist Title information.

Entering File and Folder Names
Names using the code list characters are the only file names and folder names that can be entered and displayed. Using any other character will cause the file and folder names to be displayed incorrectly. The unit recognizes and plays only files with the MP3/WMA extension.

NOTE: A file name entered with characters not on the code list may not play correctly.

Writing Files into a Medium
When a medium containing MP3/WMA data is loaded, the unit checks all data. If the medium contains many folders or non-MP3/WMA files, MP3/WMA play will be delayed, it may take time for the unit to move to the next file, and searches may not be performed smoothly. Loading such a medium may produce loud noise and cause damage to the speakers. Do not attempt to play a medium containing a non-MP3/WMA file with the MP3/WMA extension or a medium containing non MP3/WMA files.

FIle Playing Order
When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order they were written by the CD writer. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played. You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA are to be played by writing them onto a medium such as a CD-R with their file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as “01” to “99”. For example, a medium with the following folder/file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select as shown below.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CD Player
The following guidelines will help you extend the life of your CD player:

When cleaning the vehicle interior, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
The CD player will not operate properly in extreme hot/cold or under damp conditions. In case of such conditions, wait until the vehicle interior reaches a normal temperature or any condensation on the disc player lens has evaporated before using the player.
Never insert anything other than round 5” CDs into the player. Attempting to insert CDs of other sizes (even with an adaptor) will cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Always remove the CD when the player is not is use.
The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. However, occasional sound skips may occur when driving on very rough roads. This will not scratch or damage the disc, and normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.

Compact Discs

CD-R and CD-RW Capability
Depending on media type and method of “recording/burning”, some CD-R/RWs may be incompatible with this unit. After “recording/burning”, the session must be closed. Please refer to your software’s recommended procedures for closing a disc/session. Review your recording software to familiarize yourself with the correct “recording/burning” procedures. We recommend using the latest versions of ROXIOTM or NEROTM burning software. In addition, this unit will only recognize the CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio), .MP3 and .WMA formats “recorded / burned” onto a CD-R/RW. This unit does not support .WAV, .OGG or other formats.

CD Care and Handling
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs.

Carefully wipe fingerprints, dust and dirt from the disc’s playing surface with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays or household cleaners to clean CDs, as they can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for long periods.
Do not stick paper, tape or CD labels on disc surfaces, as internal damage may occur.
