comes on. Insert it only about
halfway; the drive will pull it in the
rest of the way. You will see
‘‘BUSY ’’in the display while the
disc load indicator turns red and
blinks as the disc is loaded. You cannot load and play 3-inch
(8-cm) discs in this unit.
4. When the disc load indicator turns green and ‘‘LOAD ’’appears in the
display again, insert the next disc
in the slot. Do not try to insert a
disc until ‘‘LOAD ’’appears. You
could damage the audio unit.
5. Repeat this until all six positions are loaded. If you are not loading
all six positions, the system begins
playing the last disc loaded.
You can also load a disc into an
empty position while a disc is playing
by pressing the appropriate preset
button. The system stops playing the
current disc and starts the loading
sequence. It then plays the disc just
