Playing a CD (In Either the DVD
or CD Slot)
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
The player pulls it in and the CD should begin
playing (loading a disc into the system,
depending on media type and format ranges from
5 to 20 seconds for a CD, and up to 30 seconds
for a DVD to begin playing).
If the ignition or radio is turned off, with a CD in
the player, it stays in the player. When the ignition
or radio is turned on, the CD starts playing
where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio
source. The CD is controlled by the buttons
on the radio faceplate or by the RSA unit. See
Rear Seat Audio (RSA) on page 345for more
information. The DVD/CD decks, (upper slot is the
DVD deck and the lower slot is the CD deck) of
the radio are compatible with most audio CDs,
CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3s.
When a CD is inserted, the text label DVD or
CD symbol appears on the left side of the radio
display. As each new track starts to play, the
track number appears on the display.The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs
and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same
manner.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There can be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading
and ejecting. If these problems occur, check
the bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of
the CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly.
If the surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of
Your CDs and DVDs on page 349for more
information.
If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
