You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Load the CDs from bottom to
top, placing the discs in the magazine label side up. If
you load a disc label side down, the disc will not play
and an error will occur. Repeat this procedure for
loading up to six discs in the magazine.Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, slide
the door to the right to open the compact disc changer
(for the front console
-mounted changer, push the door to
the right and it will open automatically). Push the
magazine into the changer in the direction of the arrow
marked on the magazine.
Close the door by sliding it all the way to the left
(for the front console
-mounted changer, push the door
to the left and it will close automatically). When the CD
magazine is loaded, the changer will begin checking for
discs in the magazine. This will continue for up to
one and a half minutes, depending on the number of
discs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide or push the
door open, then press EJECT. Remember to keep the
door closed whenever possible to keep dirt and dust
from getting inside the changer.
Whenever a CD magazine with discs is loaded in the
changer, the CD changer symbol will appear on the
radio display. If the CD changer is checking the
magazine for CDs, the CD symbol will flash on the
display until the changer is ready to play. When a CD
begins playing, a disc and track number will be
displayed. The disc numbers are listed on the front of
the magazine.
