Operating the CD Changer
(Optional)
A Compact Disc changer is available
for your vehicle.
It holds up to six
discs, providing several hours of
continuous entertainment. You
operate this
CD changer with the
same controls used for the in-dash
CD player.
Load the desired
CDs in the
magazine and load the magazine in
the changer according to the
instructions that came with the unit.
Play only standard round discs. Odd
shaped CDs may jam in the drive or
cause other problems.
To select the CD changer, press the
CD button. The disc and track
numbers
will be displayed.
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 load
and play.
If you load a CD in the in-dash player
while the changer is playing a
CD,
the system will stop the changer and
begin playing the in-dash
CD. To
select the changer again, press the
CD button. Play will begin where it
left off.
Use the CD button to switch
between the player and the changer.
If you eject the in-dash CD while it is
playing, the system
will automatically
switch to the
CD changer and begin
play where it left off.
If there are no
CDs in the changer, the display will
flash. You will have to select another
mode
(AM or FM) with the button.
Audio System
When you switch back to CD mode,
the system selects the same unit
(in
dash or changer) that was playing
when you switched out of
CD mode.
To use the SKIP, REPEAT, and
RANDOM functions, refer to the in
dash player operating instructions.

Theft Protection
Your car's audio system will disable
itself
if it is disconnected from
electrical power for any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specific five-digit code in the
Preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from five digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system's code
number and serial number.
It is best
to store this card
in a safe place at
horne.
In addition, you should write
the audio system's serial number
in
this Owner's Manual. If you should
happen to lose
the card, you must
obtain the code number from your
Honda dealer. To do this, you
will
need the system's serial number.
If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, or the radio fuse is
removed,
the audio system will
disable itself. If this happens, you
will see "Code" in the frequency
display the next time you turn on the
system.
Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code.
If it is
entered correctly, the radio
will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code,
do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code.
You have ten tries to
enter the correct code.
If you are
unsuccessful
in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour before trying again.
Audio System
You will have to store your favorite
stations
in the Preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your
original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.
