Introduction
Before setting up the Solisto this manual should be
read in full. A general overview is given first, followed
by an explanation of the different connection types
used with the various Solisto.Products. Not all of these
connection types might be part of your Solisto set-up.
If you have any questions concerning your Solisto
do not hesitate to contact us at:

Step 4 of the "Installation" chapter.
Installation
Installation of the Solisto is almost the same as
installation of a conventional CD changer. Depen-
ding on type of car and placement of the Solisto
the installation may vary. Installation is easiest if a
connector for a CD changer is already installed in
the boot or glove compartment. As this is the case
with many newer cars you will need only to connect
the Solisto with a short cable.
1.
Decide on where you want to place the Solisto.
Typical choices are: the glove compartment, the
room behind the dashboard or the floor room of
the front passenger's seat (where the Solisto can
be fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener). If you want
to use a preinstalled CD changer cable, the place
will be determined by its location. It is possible to
use extension cables for media devices (e.g. a USB
extension cable) if the Solisto is placed in a location
that it is difficult to access.
2.
Lay the cable and connect it to the head unit or
the pre-installed CD changer cable. Adhere to ma-
nual if one was supplied with the cable.
3.
Connect the other end of the cable to the Soli-
sto and lay extension cables for the USB or AUX-In
connections if necessary.

To control the Solisto the same buttons and displays
of the radio are used as when operating a CD chan-
ger. You can change from radio mode to the Solisto
at any time if you have installed one of the Solistos
with AUX-In connection (Basic, Extra, and Pro).
To change to an installed Solisto.Classic you will
need to connect a compatible USB medium which
contains valid music files. Selecting tracks and CDs
also depends on the head unit.
Some head units offer buttons to go to the next
and the previous song, others use a shuttle wheel.
Selecting CDs can work by buttons for direct ac-
cess, buttons to select the next or previous CD, or
a shuttle wheel.
Fast forward and rewind operate in two speeds:
starting slowly, they switch to a higher speed after

Some of the Solisto cables (e.g. the types
0103, 0104, 0105, 0106, 0158, 0159) feature
an additional ground connection. Is this
attached properly?
