equalization, to compensate for
background noise, so that music
always sounds the same at the set
volume level.
This feature is most effective at
lower radio volume settings where
background noise can affect how
well the music is heard. At higher

much louder than the background
noise, there might be little or no
adjustments by AudioPilot.
To activate:
1. Set the radio volume to the desired level.
2. Press the MENU button to display the radio setup menu.

Care of the CD Player
Do not add any label to a CD.
It could get caught in the CD. 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 player mechanism.
Notice: If a label is added to a
CD, 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.
If an error displays, see
“CD Player
Messages” later in this section.Care of CDs
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 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.
