Trunk Mounted CD Changer (If Equipped)
With the optional compact disc changer, you can play up
to 12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be
played using
the trays supplied in the magazine.
The small discs
(8 cm) can be played only with specially
designed trays.
You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play
a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays holds one
disc. Press the button on the back of the magazine and
pull gently
on one of the trays. Load the trays from
bottom to top, placing a disc on the tray label side down.
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
to
12 discs in the magazine.
Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, -slide
open
the door of the compact disc (CD) changer. Push
the magazine into the changer in the direction
of the
arrow marked on top
of the magazine. Close
the door by sliding it all the way to the left. If the
door is left partially open, the changer will not operate
and an error will occur. When the door is closed, the
changer will begin checking for discs in the magazine.
This will continue for up to two minutes depending on
the number
of discs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door all the way open. The magazine will
automatically eject. Remember
to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting
inside the changer.
All
of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
buttons except for ejelcting the magazine. Whenever a
CD magazine with discs is loaded in the changer, the
compact disc symbol will appear on the radio display.
If
the CD changer is checking the magazine for CDs, the
compact disc symbol will flash on the display until the
changer is ready
to play. When a CD begins playing, CD
will appear in the bottom left corner and a disc and track
number will be displayed. The disc numbers are listed
on the front of the magazine.

Compact Disc Errors
If E and a number appear on the display an error has
occurred and the compact disc temporarily cannot play.
The CD changer will send an error message to the
receiver to indicate:
E30: Focus Error
0 E31: Tracking Error
E32: Motor Error
E33: CD Changer Communication Error
E34: CD Changer Door Open
E35 CD Changer Cartridge Empty
If the error occurred while trying to play a CD in the
compact disc player or changer, the following conditions
may have caused the error:
The road is too rough. The disc should play when the
road
is smoother.
0 The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
0 The CD changer door is open. Completely close the
door to restore normal operation.
An empty magazine is inserted in the CD changer.
Try the magazine again with a disc loaded on one of
the trays.

or if an error cannot be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.

If ignored, the system plays normally and the
radio
is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK is
activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.
