DISC ERROR:If an error message displays and/or

format, the compressed audio format, or the
data le format.
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.
There could have been a problem while burning
the CD.
The label could be caught in the CD player.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer/retailer. If the radio
displays an error message, write it down and provide it
to your dealer/retailer when reporting the problem.
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The radio system has an auxiliary input jack located on
the lower right side of the faceplate. This is not an
audio output; do not plug the headphone set into the
front auxiliary input jack. Connect an external audio
device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player,
CD changer, or cassette tape player, etc. to the auxiliary
input jack for use as another source for audio listening.
