OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The SPS/Audiovox CD Changer system installed in your vehicle

on the system operation.
Since the CD Changer will operate through the sound systemofthe
vehicle, adjustment of theaudio functions (volume, tone, balance,
etc.) is made by using the controls on the car stereo.
The specific details on the handling of discs and the use of the CD
magazine (loading, removal, etc.) will be found within the Owner’s
