A Compact Disc changer is available
from your dealer. It holds up to six discs, providing several hours of
continuous entertainment. You
operate the CD changer with the
same controls used for the radio and
cassette player.
Your dealer also has an accessory in- dash single CD player available that
is operated by the radio controls. To
operate this unit, use the instructions (except for those relating to multiple
discs) in this section.
Using the instructions that came
with the changer, load the desired CDs in the magazine, and load the
magazine in the changer. Play only standard round discs. Odd-shaped
CDs may jam in the drive or cause
other problems.

To operate the CD changer or player,
the ignition must be in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) and the audio system
must be on.
Press the CD button until "CD"
appears in the display. The system
will start to play the first track of the first disc in the magazine. Play only standard round discs.
When that disc ends, the next disc in the magazine is loaded and played.
After the last disc finishes, the system returns to disc 1.
To select a different disc, press the appropriate preset button (1 — 6). If
you select an empty slot in the magazine, the changer will, after
finding that slot empty, try to load the CD in the next slot. This
continues until it finds a CD to loadand play. You can use the SKIP switch to
select tracks within a disc. If you
push and release the SKIP switch,
the system will move to the
beginning of a track. Push the switch
up to move to the beginning of the
next track, and push the switch down to move to the beginning of
the current track.
If you push and hold the SKIP switch,
you will hear a beep and the system
will continue to move across tracks. Release the switch when you think it
has reached the desired place on the
disc.
REPEA T — When you activate the
Repeat feature by pressing the RPT
button, the system continuously
replays the current track. You will see RPT in the display as a reminder.
Press the RPT button again to turn it
off.
RANDO M PLA Y — This feature,
when activated, plays the tracks on a CD in random order, rather than in
the order they are recorded on the
CD. To activate Random Play, press
and hold the RPT button until you see RDM in the display. The system
will then select and play tracks randomly on the current disc. When all tracks on that disc have been
played, the next disc is loaded and
played randomly. This continues
until you deactivate Random Play by
pressing RPT again.
