CD
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 18.
The device can be used to play audio files saved on a CD.
The internal drive can only be used to play audioCDs (CD-A), CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Inserting›With the labelled side facing up, insert a CD into the CD slot 12 » Fig. 1 on page 5
until it is automatically drawn in. The play function will start automatically.
Ejecting›
Press the  button – the CD is ejected.
If the ejected CD is not removed within 10 seconds, it is retracted again for safety
reasons. The play function will not start automatically.
WARNINGThe CD player is a laser product. On the manufacturing date, this unit was classified as a class 1 laser product in accordance with the national/interna-
tional standards DIN EN 60825-1: 2008-05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR,
Subchapter J classified as a class 1 laser product. The laser beam used in this
class 1 laser product is so weak that it poses no risk when operated correctly.
This product is designed such that the laser beam is restricted to the inside of
the device. However, this does not mean that the integrated laser could be
classified as a higher class laser product were the housing to be removed. For
this reason, never remove the housing from the device.
CAUTION
■ Never place DVDs into the internal drive, as this may cause irreparable damage
to the device.■
Never insert CDs with the designation “ Do not insert in drives without a draw-
er ” into the internal drive or use “ EcoDiscs” in the internal drive.
■
After pressing the  button , there is a delay of a few seconds before the CD is
ejected. During this time, the barrier to the CD slot is open.
■
Be sure to wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a new
CD. Failure to do so can cause damage to the device drive.
■
If the CD has mechanical damage, is not readable or is inserted incorrectly, the
following message is displayed: CD functionality is restricted. Check the CD and
insert it properly into the drive. If the message is displayed again, try using anoth-
er CD or visit a specialist garage if necessary.
■
If the inside temperature of the device is too high, no CDs will be accepted. The
device switches to the last active operating mode.
■
Never use liquids such as benzine, paint thinner or record cleaner to clean the
surface of the CD, as this may cause damage. 
1)
If there are no artist, album and track names available in the file being played, the folder or file name
is displayed.
21Audio

■Never expose the CD to direct sunlight.■Only write on the CD with appropriate writing tools.■
Do not stick anything to the CD!
Note
■Poor or unpaved road surfaces and severe vibrations may cause the CD to jump.■Damp (condensation) may affect the device in cold weather or after showers.
This can lead to playback jumps or impair the play function. In such cases, wait
until the moisture has dissipated.■
If a CD is dirty, it should never be cleaned using a circular motion, but rather
from the inside out. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. In the case of heavy
contamination, we recommend cleaning the CD with a standard CD cleaner and
leaving to dry.
■
In certain circumstances, CDs protected by copyright or self-made CD-Rs and
CD-RWs may not play, or may only play to a limited extent.
■
The national copyright laws that apply in your country must be observed.
■
The CD player does not include any parts that need to be serviced or repaired. In
the case of a defective CD player, please visit a specialist garage.

SD memory card
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 18.
The device can be used to play audio files saved on an SD memory card.
Inserting an SD memory card
›
Push the SD memory card into the memory card slot
14
with the cut-off edge to
the front right until it “locks into place” » Fig. 1 on page 5. The play function will
start automatically.
Removing an SD memory card
›
Press the SETUP button
→ System → Remove SD card safely .
›
Press the inserted SD memory card. The SD memory card moves into the eject
position.
SD memory card empty or data not readable
If an SD memory card is inserted and no data or no legible data has been stored
on the card, the device will not be switched to the SD memory card mode after
loading.
Due to differing quality requirements from different card manufacturers, it is not
always possible to guarantee the playback from SD memory cards.
It may not be possible to play some or all files on the SD memory card, or their
playback may be limited.
CAUTION
■ Only use one-part SD memory cards. If using an SD memory card with an adapt-
er (multipart SD memory cards), vehicle vibrations can cause the SD memory card can fall out of the adapter while driving, and individual card parts can remainstuck in the device.■
We recommend using SD memory cards of class 4 and higher. This guarantees
the fastest possible access to the audio files.
■
Always store the SD cards in suitable cases to protect them from dirt, dust and
other forms of damage.
