Introduction

This chapter describes the operation of the CD player only. To operate the radio, refer to the description in the “Functions and Adjustments” chapter.

CD Player Selection

To activate the CD player built into the equipment, proceed as follows:

• Load a CD with the equipment switched on. The first track will start to play.

or

• If a CD has already been loaded, turn on the radio and then briefly press the MEDIAbutton to select the “CD” function mode. The last track listened to will start to play.

It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure optimal playing. If CD-R/RWs are used, we recommend using good quality media that are burned at the slowest speed possible.

CD Loading/Ejecting

To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to activate the motorized loading system, which will position it correctly.

The CD can be loaded with the radio off and the ignition key turned to ON/RUN. In this case, the radio will remain off. When the radio is turned on, the last source listened to before being switched off, will be activated.

When a CD is inserted, the display will show the symbol “CD” and the wording “CD Reading.” They will remain displayed for the whole time required for the radio to read the CD. When this time has elapsed the radio automatically starts playing the first track.

Press the  button with the radio turned on, to activate the motorized CD ejection system. After ejection, the last audio source listened to before playing the CD will be heard.

If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later but will not resume playing until the MEDIA button is pressed to select the CD mode. The radio will switch to the last source prior to CD mode.

The CD cannot be ejected if the radio is off.

Possible Error Messages If the loaded CD cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM has been inserted or the CD is inserted the wrong way or there is a reading error) the display shows the wording “CD Disc error.” The CD will then be ejected and the audio source activated before the CD mode selection will be heard.

ACD which cannot be read will not be ejected until these functions are over. At the end, with the CD mode activated, the display will show the wording “CD Disc error” for a few seconds and then the CD will be ejected.

Display Information

When the CD player is operating, information will appear on the display with the following meaning:

• “Track 5” indicates the CD track number.
• “03:42” indicates the time elapsed since the start of the track (if the relevant Menu function is activated).

Track Selection

Briefly press the button to play the previous CD track and the button to play the next track. The tracks are selected cyclically: the first track is selected after the last track and vice versa.

If the track has been played for more than 3 seconds, pressing the button, starts the track 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 forward the selected track and keep the button 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 button. The wording “CD Pause” appears on the display.

To resume listening to the track, press the button again.
