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.
SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA) on
page 3-118for 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 MP3/WMAs.
When a CD is inserted, the text label
DVD or CD symbol displays on
the left side of the radio display.
As each new track starts to play,
the track number displays.Care of CDs and DVDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality
can be reduced due to CD-R or
CD-RW quality, the method
of recording, the quality of the music
that has been recorded, and the
way the CD-R or CD-RW has been
handled. Handle them carefully.
Store CD-R(s) or CD-RW(s) in their
original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. The CD or DVD player
scans the bottom surface of the disc.
If the surface of a CD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or
scratched, the CD does not play
properly or not at all. Do not touch
the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the
surface. Pick up CDs by grasping
the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take
a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water,and clean it. Make sure the wiping
process starts from the center
to the edge.
Care of the CD and DVD Player
Do not add any label to a CD, it could
get caught in the CD or DVD player.
If a CD is recorded on a personal
computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the
recorded CD with a marking pen.
The use of CD lens cleaners for
CDs is not advised, due to the risk
of contaminating the lens of the
CD optics with lubricants internal to
the CD and DVD player mechanism.
Notice:If a label is added to
a CD, or more than one CD is
inserted into the slot at a time,
or an attempt is made to play
scratched or damaged CDs, the
CD player could be damaged.
While using the CD player, use
only CDs in good condition
without any label, load one CD at a
time, and keep the CD player and
the loading slot free of foreign
materials, liquids, and debris.
