If you turn the system off while a CD
is playing, either with the PWR/VOL
knob or by turning off the ignition
switch, the disc will stay in the drive.
When you turn the system back on,
the CD will begin playing where it
left off.
To take the system out of CD mode,
press the AM/FM, or DISC/AUX, or
button to switch to the radio,
or satellite radio (U.S. models only),
or auxiliary input while a CD is
playing. When you return to CD
mode by pressing the DISC/AUX
button, play will continue at the same
point that it left off. To
remove the disc that is currently
playing, press and release the eject
( ) button. You will see
‘‘EJECT’’ on the upper display. When
you remove the disc from the slot,
the system begins the load sequence
so you can load another disc in that
position. If you do not load another
disc within 10 seconds, the system
selects the previous mode [AM, FM1,
FM2, or XM Radio (U.S. models)].
If you do not remove the disc from
the slot, the system will reload the
disc after 10 seconds and put the CD
changer in pause mode. To begin
playing the disc, press the DISC/
AUX button.
To remove a different CD from the
changer, select it with the
appropriate preset button, or icon on
the audio control display. When that
disc begins playing, press the eject
button. Press
and hold the eject button until
you hear a beep to remove all the
discs from the changer.
You can also eject discs when the
ignition switch is off by pressing the
eject button. The disc that was last
selected is ejected first. You can
eject the rest of the discs one at a
time.
