INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regard-
ing the operation of the CD player: as far
as the operation of the radio is concerned,
refer to the description in the “Functions and
Adjustments” chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built-into the equip-
ment, proceed as follows:
❍load a CD with the device switched on:
the first track will start to play;
or
❍if a CD has already been loaded, turn on
the car radio and then briefly press the
CD button to select the “CD” operating
mode: the last track listened to will start
to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used,
we recommend using good quality media
mastered at the slowest speed possible.
LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot
to activate the motorised loading system,
which will position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with the radio
switched off and the ignition key in the MAR
position: in this case the radio will remain
off. When the car radio is turned on, the last
source listened to prior to switching off will
be activated.
When a CD is loaded the display will show
“CD-IN” and the words “CD Reading”. They
will remain displayed for the entire time re-
quired for the car radio to read the CD tracks.
When this time has elapsed the radio will
automatically start to play the first track. Press the
˚button with the car adio on to
activate the motorised ejection of the CD.
After ejection, the last audio source listened
to before playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the car ra-
dio, it will automatically be reloaded about
20 seconds later and the Tuner mode will
be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car radio is
off.
If the ejected CD is loaded without having
removed it completely from the slot, the
radio will not switch to the CD source.

Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD
ROM has been inserted or the CD is insert-
ed the wrong way round or there is read-
ing error) the display will show the words
“CD Disc error”.
The CD will then be ejected and the audio
source activated prior to the CD mode selec-
tion will be heard.
With an external audio source activated (TA,
ALARM or Phone), the CD that cannot be
read will be not be ejected until these func-
tions have ended. At the end, with the CD
mode activated, the display will show the
words “CD Disc error” for a few seconds and
then the CD will be ejected.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
When the CD player is working, the display
will show the following information:
❍“CD Track 5”: indicating the number of
the CD track;
❍“03:42”: indicating the time elapsed
since the start of the track (if the rele-
vant Menu function is activated).
TRACK SELECTION
(forward/back)
Briefly press the button to play the pre-
vious CD track and the
button to play the
next track. The tracks are selected cyclical-
ly: the first track is selected after the last
track and vice versa.
If the track has been playing for more than
3 seconds, pressing
will cause the track
to start again from the beginning. In this
case, if you want to play the previous track,
press the button twice consecutively.
TRACK FAST FORWARD/
REWIND
Keep the button pressed down to fast for-
ward the selected track and keep the
but-
ton pressed down to fast rewind the track.
The fast forward/rewind will stop once the
button is released.
PAUSE FUNCTION
To pause the CD player, press the MUTE but-
ton. The words “CD Pause” will appear on
the display.
To resume listening to the track, press the
MUTE button again.
If another audio source is selected, the pause
function is turned off.

SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS ON
HYBRID DISCS
If a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode, En-
hanced, CD-Extra) also containing MP3 files,
the radio automatically starts playing the au-
dio session. It is possible to move to the
MP3 session whilst playing by keeping the
MEDIA button pressed for more than 2 sec-
onds.
IMPORTANT When the function is activated
the radio may take a few seconds to start
playback. Whilst checking the disc the dis-
play will show “CD READING”; if no MP3
files are detected, the radio will resume play-
ing the audio session from the point where
it was interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATION
ID3-tag information display
In addition to the information relating to the
time elapsed, the name of the folder and the
name of the file, the car radio is also capa-
ble of display ID3-TAG information relating
to the Track title, Artist and Author.
The name of the MP3 folder shown on the
display corresponds to the name with which
the folder was stored on the CD, followed
by an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name:
BEST OF *.
If you wish to display ID3-TAG information
(Title, Artist, Album) and this information
has not been recorded for the track played,
the information will be replaced by informa-
tion relating to the name of the file.
SELECT NEXT/PREVIOUS
FOLDER
Pressto select the next folder or to
select the previous folder. The display will
show the number and the name of the fold-
er (e.g. “DIR 2 XXXXXX”).
XXXXXX: name of the folder (the display
will only show the first 12 characters).
The folders are selected cyclically: the first
folder is selected after the last folder and
vice versa.
If no other folder/track is selected during
the next 2 seconds, the first track contained
in the new folder will be played.
If the last track on the folder currently se-
lected is being played, the next folder will
be played.
STRUCTURE OF THE FOLDERS
The car radio with MP3 player:
❍only recognises those folders that effec-
tively contain MP3 format files
❍if the MP3 files on a CD-ROM are struc-
tured in “sub-folders”, their structure is
compressed to a single level structure
where the “sub-folders” are at the level
of the main folders.
