Notice: Do not attempt to insert any disc into a CD player except those discs
which display the symbol shown on the disc label illustration. Insertion of
a disc which does not display this symbol, such as the 76 mm (3 in)
disc, may cause damage to the CD player and/or disc.
Power Cycling
If the CD is playing when the ignition voltage is removed, upon voltage
return, the unit resumes playing from the position reached prior to the ignition
shut off. The CD display shows track selected and CD is lit. If the battery
and ignition voltages are removed from the unit, upon reapplication of power,
the following action occurs:
• | The radio is in the OFF mode and indicates the time of day. |
When the radio is turned on, the following actions occur:
• | The CD starts to play track 1. |
• | The CD IN lights along with the time of play. |
After 5 seconds the track selection displays.
CD Load
The mechanism will automatically
complete the loading cycle after you insert the CD (1) approximately
1/2 of the way. The mechanism begins to play track 1 on
the disc.
If a cartridge (1) is not presently loaded, the CD Load function
is available at all times.
CD Eject
The CD eject function
is active with battery voltage. You may eject the disc (1) with the
ignition switch in the off position. With the radio and ignition in the

to the previous radio function. The loading motors eject the disc. The
CD indicator turns off.
At any time, with the radio or the ignition in the ON position or the
OFF position, if you do not remove an ejected disc from the CD load mechanism
within 25 seconds the disc will automatically reload. The play
mode will not activate.

The unit indicates an ERR in the display if any of the following conditions
exist:
• | Moisture impairs the focusing mechanism. |
• | A tracking problem occurs. |
• | A servo problem occurs. |
• | A disc is inserted upside down. |
The unit switches to the radio mode and ejects the CD. The ERR remains
lit in the display for 5 seconds, along with the normal information.
If you insert CD upside down, the following actions occur:
• | The CD player is not able to initialize. |
• | The unit will not shift into the audio modes. |
• | An ERR is lit in the display. |

• | The CD player is in the play mode. |
The ERR display also will not light under the following conditions:
• | The ambient temperature exceeds a preset temperature. |
• | The CD operation is not functional. |
