The EXCD-3RF is a compact disc changer
system comprised of the remote commander,
the hideaway (modulator) unit and the CD
changer. The hideaway unit modulates the
audio signal from the CD changer into the RF
(Radio Frequency) signal that can be received
by the existing FM tuner of your car audio.
Therefore you can enjoy CD playback 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 even if it is installed in the
trunk of your car.

• Repeat play function for playing a track or a

disc repeatedly.

• Shuffle play function for playing tracks of

one disc or of all discs in random order.

Le système EXCD-3RF comprend une
télécommande, un modulateur et un changeur
de CD. Le modulateur transforme le signal
audio du changeur de CD en un signal de
fréquence radio (RF) qui peut être reçu par le
tuner FM de votre autoradio. Ainsi, vous
pouvez écouter des disques compacts en
voiture même si votre autoradio n’est pas
équipé de bornes d’entrée pour lecteur de CD.
• Chargeur de CD compact et peu encombrant

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

• Télécommande fournie qui permet de

commander le changeur de CD installé dans
le coffre de la 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.
