  4. Gently remove the CD from the slot and return it to its case.
  5. Insert the music CD into the slot. The system will pull the disc into the player.

Playing a CD

Once a music CD is loaded, the CD player menu will appear on the display.

If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player it will stay in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD will start to play where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.

As each new track starts to play, the track number will appear on the display.

The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm) single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same manner.

If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD-R has been handled. There may be an increase in skipping, difficulty in finding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur try a known good CD.

Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player.

If an error appears on the display, see "CD Messages" later in this section.
