Installation and Wiring Precautions  
To prevent a short-circuit,  
lBe sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable, prior to installation.  
lConnect power wires last.

NOTE: If the changer is to be installed in a car that is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not  
disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these  
conditions, use extra caution during installation not to cause a short circuit.  
Do not install the unit in the following locations.  
lLocations exposed to direct sunlight.  
lWhere hot air is discharged from the car heater.  
lIn areas subject to extreme temperatures.

InstallationCautionsandWarnings:  
1. FuelTank-WARNING!Neverinstallaboveyourfueltankastheholesyoumustdrillmaypiercethetankorthefuellines.  
Also check for other obstructions such as wires, etc.  
2. ExcessiveHeat-Avoidareasexposedtodirectsunlight(ontopofrearpackageshelf)ornexttoyourcarheater’soutput

3. Ease of Use - Make certain the changer is easily accessible for loading and unloading the CD magazine.  
4. Distance - The data cable that joins the changer to the FM module is 15 feet long. Do not exceed this length.  
5. If mounting to a plastic surface, do not use the self-tapping screws provided. Use the bolts and hex nuts provided for  
a more secure installation.  
IMPORTANT: Failure to properly secure the CD changer is the most common cause of all “skipping” and related  
CD play problems. Changer must be mounted as explained on the following pages.

INSTALLATION  
The ACC-56changer isdesignedfor horizontal(flat),vertical(upright)or 45-degreemounting.Itmustneverbemountedupside-  
down or on either one of it's sides as explained previously. The position of the built-in anti-vibration springs (left and right side), must  
correspond to the mounting position chosen. If the springs are not set correctly for the type of installation chosen, the anti-vibration  
compensation will not be effective and vibration may cause the disc to skip.  
CAUTION  
After setting the built-in anti-vibration springs, place the supplied Seals (B) over the holes. These seals are used to keep dust, which could  
cause a malfunction, out of the unit.

(UNPLUG ANTENNA CABLE)  
Locate your existing car radio antenna cable. This is  
normally a black cable about as thick as a pencil and  
will be plugged into a socket on the rear of your car  
radio. Unplug this antenna lead and plug it into the  
mating female socket on the FM modulator.  
EXISTING CAR ANTENNA  
IMPORTANT - Some Import cars have a special dual  
antenna called “DIVERSITY ANTENNA”. If your car  
has this type of antenna system, you will find the  
antenna cable will not fit the socket on the FM modu-  
lator.UseoftheACC-56withDIVERSITYANTENNA"  
is not recommended. You may also find some late  
model GM cars have an antenna plug that is too small  
to mate with the FM modulator. If this is found, call  
Audiovox’s Toll-Free Assistance for a special adapter

many discs as desired.  
WARNING: Avoid use of Reset button after initial use unless you have a definite abnormal disc operation. Use the EJECT  
button on the changer to remove the CD magazine for normal operation.  
HINTS FOR CORRECT AND SAFE OPERATION  
This CD Changer is designed to be operated only on 12 volt DC negative ground systems. The unit cannot be used on 24 volt  
or positive ground systems.  
TEMPERATURE  
The unit may not operate correctly in extremely hot or cold temperatures. It is equipped with a built-in thermal protection circuit  
which will stop operation of the unit when the temperature reaches the preset level. If this should happen,theunitwillresume  
operationwhenthevehiclereturnstoanormaltemperaturerange.  
Remove the magazine from the unit when it is not being used during hot weather. If the discs are left in an extremely hot car  
they may warp. If the CD changer is not used for long periods of time, remove the compact discs from the magazine, and  
store them in their cases.  
CONDENSATION  
Moisture can condense on the laser lens of the CD changer during rainy and humid days, or right after the heater is turned on  
in the car (if the changer is mounted in the passenger compartment). If this should happen the unit will not operate correctly.  
To remedy the situation, remove the discs from the unit and wait approximately one hour. During this time the moisture will  
evaporate and the unit will operate normally.  
INTERRUPTIONS IN SOUND (Skipping)  
Thesoundfromtheunitmay"skip"andbeinterruptediftheanti-vibrationspringsarenotsetcorrectly, ifthechangerismounted  
on-end or upside-down, or when travelling on very rough road surfaces. If this should occur, check for errors made during  
installation or wait for the road surface to improve.  
3"(8cm)CD-SINGLES  
This unit is not designed to play 3" (8cm) CD-Single discs. Inserting a 3" disc into the magazine, either with or without a 3" disc  
adaptor, can damage the changer and the disc. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.  
HANDLING THE DISCS  
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterioration of sound quality. To take proper care  
of your discs:  
1. Use compact discs that have the  
logo.  
2. Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's signal surface (glossy side) with a soft cloth. Unlike  
conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with  
a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small  
dust particles or light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.  
3. Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such  
chemicals could irreparably damage the disc's plastic surface.  
4. Discs should be put back in their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the sound to skip.  
5. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods of time. Long exposure  
to high temperatures can warp the disc.  
6. Do not stick paper, labels, or tape on the disc surface.  
7. Do not write with any type of pen, pencil, or marker on the disc surface.  
8. To minimize fingerprints and smudges on the signal surface, always try to hold the discs by their outer edge and center hole.

USE OF THE CD MAGAZINE  
LOADING DISCS INTO THE MAGAZINE  
This CD Changer uses a specially-designed magazine to hold  
up to 10 compact discs. To load discs into the magazine, grip
