INSTALLATION

Prior to Installation

  1. Before attempting to use this unit you must first remove the packing safety lock pins (3 positions). Store these lock pins carefully so they can be used again if needed.
    • Note: Reinstall these lock pins when shipping the unit back for repair.
  2. Decide on the installation place and direction.
  3. Insert an item such as a screwdriver with a fine point or the tip of a ballpoint pen into the round hole of the installation selector lever to switch to the position you need.
  4. Before shipment from the factory, the levers are normally placed in the horizontal position.clarion-DCZ6ZS-6-DISC-CD-Changer-with-CD-Text-fig-1 \(19\)
    • Caution:
    • Set the installation selector lever to the same position on both sides.
    • When the unit is installed below the horizontal position (up to 15 degrees) the ejected magazine, when left in that position, will drop due to vibrations from the car.
    • Adjust the installation selector levers into the correct locations. Setting the locations incorrectly or in varied positions will cause skipping.
    • Do not move the installation selector levers while the unit is in use. This will cause damage to the mechanism and the disc.
