12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be played
using the trays supplied in the magazine.

(8 cm) can be played only with specially designed trays.

during driving could damage your
CD changer.
Protect your
CD changes by using the
convenience net whenever possible. Place large

If you load a disc label side up, the disc will not play
and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into
the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure for loading up
