SONG LIST
This integrated six−disc compact disc
player has a feature called song list. This
feature is capable of saving 20 track
selections.
To save tracks into the song list feature,
perform the following steps:
1. Turn the compact disc player on and load it with at least one disc. (See
“LOAD”.)
2. Make sure the disc player is not in song list mode. “S −LIST” should not
appear in the display. If “S −LIST” is
present, push the “SONG LIST” button
to turn it off.
3. Select the desired disc by pushing the numbered button and then use the right
side of the “SEEK/SCAN” button to lo-
cate the track you want to save. The
track will begin to play.
4. To save the track, push and hold the “SONG LIST” button until you hear two
beeps.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 for saving other selections.
If you try to save more than 20 selec-
tions, “S −LIST FULL” will appear on the
display. To play the song list, push the “SONG
LIST” button. One beep will be heard and
“S
−LIST” will appear on the display. The
recorded tracks will begin to play in the
order that they were saved.
You may seek through the song list by
using the “SEEK/SCAN” button. Seeking
past the last saved track will return to the
first saved track.
To delete tracks from the song list, per-
form the following steps:
1. Turn the disc player on.
2. Push the “SONG LIST” button to turn the song list on. “S −LIST” will appear
on the display.
3. Push either side of the “SEEK/SCAN” button to select the desired track to be
deleted.
4. Push and hold the “SONG LIST” button for more than two seconds until you
hear a beep. After two seconds of
pushing the button continuously, two
beeps will be heard to confirm that the
track has been deleted.
After a track has been deleted, the re-
maining tracks are moved up the list.
When another track is added to the song
list, the tracks will be added to the end
of the list. To delete the entire song list, perform the
following steps:
1. Turn the disc player on.
2. Push the “SONG LIST” button to turn song list on. “S −LIST” will appear on
the display.
3. Push and hold the button for more than 4 seconds. A beep will be heard, fol-
lowed by two beeps after two seconds
and a final beep will be heard after 4
seconds. “S −LIST EMPTY” will appear
on the display indicating that the song
list has been deleted.
If a disc is ejected, and the song list
contains saved tracks from that disc,
those tracks are automatically deleted
from the song list. Any tracks saved to
the song list again are added to the bot-
tom of the list.
To end the song list mode, push the
“SONG LIST” button. One beep will be
heard and “S −LIST” will be removed from
the display.

TRAF (Traffic)
This button turns the traffic announcement
(TA) feature on and off.
By pushing “< >” button, “TRAF” appears
on the display and the radio will start
seeking any traffic program station.
When a traffic program station is found,
“TRAF” will be displayed (). If no
traffic program stations are found, “No
Traffic” will appear on the display.
After the traffic announcement program is
over, the display returns to the previous
mode.
If no traffic program station is found, “No
Traffic” will appear on the display for 5
seconds and the display returns to the
previous mode. If the “TRAF” button is
pushed when the compact disc player is
on, the radio will start seeking traffic pro-
gram stations.
When a “TA” is received, the radio stores
the volume of the previous mode and ad-
justs the volume to the previous interrupt
volume. During the traffic announcement,
you can adjust the volume using the
“PWR/VOL”.The adjusted volume will be used as the
new default interrupt volume. The interrupt
volume has a minimum default setting.
The stored interrupt volume will be the
greater of the current volume and the
minimum default setting. After an interrupt,
the radio system will return to the volume
that was active before the interrupt.
TUNE (Tuning)
Turn the knob clockwise to step up the
frequency. Turn the knob counterclockwise
to step down the frequency.NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system op-
erations:

Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
 Do not put anything other than a
cassette tape or Compact Disc into
the slot.
 The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio system which you are listening
to. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves.

Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations—Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi−path—FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each oth-
er out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.
Static and fluttering—These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping—If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal signal can be picked up again. AM
Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere–especially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the radio sta-
tion, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference—When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a
radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static—AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-
larly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can
decrease sound quality and tangle your
cassette tapes. The easiest way to
clean them is by using a cleaning tape.
(A wet type is recommended.)Use high
−quality cassettes.
Low −quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound,
inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto− reversing. They can also
get stuck or tangled in the cassette
player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or tangled or if its label is
peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player
if you are not listening to it, especially
if it is hot outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out
of direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total play-
ing time longer than 100 minutes (50
minutes per side). The tape used in
these cassettes is thin and could get
stuck or tangled in the cassette player.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER AND DISCS
The player is intended for use with 12
cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player from working.
On hot days, use the air conditioning
to cool the vehicle interior before you
listen to a disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player, you may not hear any sound
even though your compact disc player
appears to be working. Remove the
disc from the player and wait until it
dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players use an invisible
laser beam which could cause hazard-
ous radiation exposure if directed
outside the unit. Be sure to operate
the player correctly.
Use only compact discs marked as
shown above. The following products
may not be playable on your compact
disc player.

Labeled discs
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the player or
changer, do not use special shaped,
low quality or labeled discs such as
those shown in the illustrations.
CorrectWrong
Handle compact discs carefully, espe-
cially when you are inserting them.
Hold them on the edge and do not
bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints
on them, particularly on the shiny side.
Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the
player to skip or to repeat a section of
a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the
disc up to the light.)
Remove discs from the compact disc
player when you are not listening to
them. Store them in their plastic cases
away from moisture, heat, and direct
sunlight.
To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a
soft, lint−free cloth that has been damp-
ened with water. Wipe in a straight line
from the center to the edge of the disc
(not in circles). Dry it with another soft,
lint −free cloth. Do not use a conventional
record cleaner or anti −static device.
