CD units are designed to play commercially
pressed 12cm audio compact discs only. Due to
technical incompatibility, certain recordable
and re-recordable compact discs may not
function correctly when used in Ford CD
players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a
scratch protection film attached, and CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not
be inserted into the CD player. The label may
peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is
recommended that homemade CDs be identified
with permanent marker rather than adhesive
labels. Please contact your dealer for further
information.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE CD PLAYER
(IF EQUIPPED)
The laser beam used in the compact disc
player is harmful to the eyes. Do not
attempt to disassemble the case.

If sound skips:
²You may be traveling on a rough road, playing
badly scratched discs or the disc may be dirty.
Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage the
player.
If your changer does not work, it may be that:
²A disc is already loaded where you want to insert
a disc.
²The disc is inserted with the label surface
downward.
²The disc is dusty or defective.
²The player's internal temperature is above 60ÉC
(140ÉF). Allow the player to cool down before
operating.
²A disc with format and dimensions not within
industry standards is inserted.
MP3 DISC QUALITY FACTORS
The MACHtMP3 music system is designed for use
with CD-DA (regular audio discs), CD-R and CD-RW
discs. Discs must comply with ISO 9660 and Joliet
standards.
Several factors can effect disc playback quality:
²Disc capacity Ð Each disc contains about 650 MB
of storage capacity. We do not recommend using
high capacity discs containing 700MB of storage.
²Disc type Ð Some CD-RW discs may operate
inconsistently and may cause an error message to
appear. We recommend burning MP3 files onto
CD-R discs.
²Disc finalization Ð The disc may be left open for
the purpose of adding sessions to it at a later
time, but be sure to close each session or the disc
will not play.
²Bit rate Ð The player supports bit rates from
56±320 kbps, as well as variable bit rate MP3 files,
but lower bit rates will have a noticeable effect on
Entertainment Systems
63

sound quality and are recommended only for
speech or low fidelity music material. We
recommend that you encode MP3 files using a
high quality encoder.
²PC configuration Ð Encoding MP3 files requires
intensive use of your computer's resources. Follow
the PC configuration recommendations of the
encoder software vendor. We recommend that you
avoid running other software applications on your
PC during MP3 encoding to avoid undesirable
noise and distortion.
CLEANING COMPACT DISCS
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If
necessary, clean discs only with an approved CD
cleaner and wipe from the center out to the edge.
Do not use circular motion.
CD, MP3 AND CD PLAYER CARE
²Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the
playing surface.
²Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources for extended periods of time.
²Do not insert more than one disc into the slot of
the CD player (if equipped).
²Always store discs out of direct sunlight.
Excessive heat may damage or warp discs.
²Use care when handling and playing CD-R and
CD-RW discs, which are more susceptible to
damage from heat, light and stress than are
regular CDs.
²Always insert and remove a disc by holding the
disc flat, with the playing surface facing down, in
order to prevent damage to the disc or the player.
²Never insert any object other than a compact disc
into the player, as doing so may damage the
player and may cause injury to you.
