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.

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-56with“DIVERSITYANTENNA"
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

CAUTION: When the CD magazine is ejected by the use of the Reset button, whichever disc was in play prior to pressing
Reset will be left in the play position in the changer. It is critical that before reinserting the CD magazine, you
mustREMOVEALLDISCSfromit. After youhaveinsertedtheemptyCDmagazine, pressEJECTonthechanger
and the "in play" disc will be loaded into the empty magazine. You may then remove the magazine and reload as
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.
15
USE OF THE CD MAGAZINE
LOADING DISCS INTO THE MAGAZINE
