system comprised of the wired remote
commander, the relay box, and the CD changer.

received by the existing FM tuner of your car
audio. Therefore you will be able to enjoy CD
play with your car audio even if it has no input
terminals for a compact disc player.
•Compact and space saving CD changer for

vertical, horizontal, suspended, or inclined
installation in your car.

•Supplied wired remote enables you to control

the CD changer installed in the trunk room of
your car.

Le CDX-434RF est un changeur de disques
compacts composé d’une télécommande filaire,
d’un boîtier de relais et du changeur de CD
proprement dit.  Le changeur de CD module le
signal audio en un signal RF (radiofréquence) de
façon à ce qu’il puisse être reçu par le
syntoniseur FM existant de votre autoradio. De
cette façon, vous serez en mesure d’exploiter la
lecture de CD avec votre autoradio même s’il ne
comporte pas de bornes d’entrée pour un lecteur
de disques compacts.
•Changeur de CD compact et peu encombrant

pouvant être installé verticalement,
horizontalement, en suspension ou en oblique
dans votre voiture.

•La télécommande fournie vous permet de

contrôler le changeur de CD installé dans le
coffre de votre voiture.

•Lecture répétée pour écouter plusieurs fois

une plage ou un disque.

•Lecture aléatoire pour écouter les plages d’un

disque ou de tous les disques dans un ordre au
hasard.
