IMPORTANT REMINDER
An Alpine aftermarket type CD changer is not compatible with a factory-installed OEM audio system. If
you want to connect a CD changer to your system, your only options are the following:
1.
2.
You can purchase an Alpine CD changer that comes equipped with a FM modulator package. This
allows for easy installation to the factory audio system via the FM antenna.
You can purchase an Alpine head unit that has CD changer controls to replace your factory-
installed audio system. These units allow for a simple one-step connection to an Alpine CD
changer.
. Your only other option is to purchase a changer that was specially designed as an accessory for
your vehicle directly from your car dealer.
Please read this OWNER’S MANUAL thoroughly to familiarize yourself with each control and function. We at ALPINE
hope that your new CHM-S601 will give you many years of listening enjoyment.
In case of problems when installing your CHM-S601, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer.
PRECAUTIONS
Perform the installation at a location that is level. Make sure the parking brake is on and the ignition
is OFF.

cause the unit to malfunction or damage to the vehicle's electrical system.
This unit is designed for 12 VDC, negative ground systems. Make sure that your vehicle has this
type of electrical system before connecting the power cable.
When installation and connections are completed, check the followings: a) Connections are proper.

When
your
car
is
parked
for
a
long
period
of
time
during
the
summer
or
winter,
the
temperature
inside
the
car
fluctuates
greatly.
The
temperature
inside
the
vehicle
should
be
between
+60°C
and
—10°C
(+140°F
and
+14°F)

Cautions during Playback
e
Playing
a
disc
while
driving
on
a
very
bumpy
road
may
result
in
skips
but
this
will
not
scratch
the
disc
or
damage
the
player.
The
noise
level
on
compact
discs
is
much
lower
than
on
analog-type
records
or
tapes.
Therefore,
before
playing
a
disc,
decrease
the
volume
to
its
minimum
level.
After
the
disc
is
inserted
and
begins
playing,
the
volume
may be
safely
adjusted
to
a
comfortable
listening
level.
Abrupt increases in output level can damage your speakers.
When
the
CHM-S601
is
used
in
combination
with
a
cassette
player,
the
"123456",
which
indicates
discs
are
loaded
or
not,
will
be
all
lit
in
the
display
of
cassette
player
whether
the
discs
are
actually
loaded
or
not.
Cautions on Use of CD Magazine
Do not insert heat-deformed discs into the CD magazine.
Do not forcibly remove the CD magazine by hand.
Only
one
disc
can
be
inserted
in
each
housing
slot.
Attempting
to
insert
another
disc
ee
may
cause
damage.
Only compact discs containing the mark shown can be used.
