With the compact disc changer, you can play up to six normal size discs continuously.

When the radio is powered on, the changer will begin checking for discs in the magazine. This will continue for up to one and a half minutes, depending on the number of discs loaded. You may hear noise, but this is normal. The CD changer is initializing.

Press the CD hard key to access the six-disc CD changer screen. You can also use the system's DVD player for single CD play once the map DVD is removed. See "CD/DVD Player" later in this section for more information.

If no CD is loaded in the CD/DVD Player and you press the CD hard key, the message "No CD loaded" will appear on the display.

CD Changer Screen


Object Number: 952413  Size: B3

Once you access the CD changer screen, you can select one of the numbered buttons to go from one compact disc to another among those loaded in the CD changer and use the arrows to rewind or fast forward through the disc selected.

The following features are also available from this screen:

    • LOAD,
    • EJECT,
    • RANDOM DISC or RANDOM ALL
    • and SCAN THE TRACKS or SCAN THE DISCS.

The numbered buttons (1 through 6) represent the order of the discs loaded in the changer. If there are only two CDs loaded, buttons 1 and 2 will only be available to choose from.

LOAD: Touch this button once each time you wish to load a CD into the changer. It may take up to 10 seconds for the changer to accept the CD into the slot depending on the changer initializing. Repeat this procedure for loading up to six discs. Press and hold this button until you hear a beep. You can now load one CD after another, waiting for the INSERT CD message to appear.

(Play): Touch this button to begin playing a CD.

RANDOM DISC: Touch this button to hear the tracks in random, rather than sequential, order on the disc selected. Press the TUNE/SEEK hard key to randomly seek through the tracks on this disc. Touch RANDOM DISC again to turn off random play mode.

SCAN TRACKS: Touch this button to hear the first 10 seconds of each track on the selected disc. Touch this button again to stop scanning. The CD will mute while scanning.

(Rewind): Touch this button to rewind quickly through a track selection.

EJECT: Touch this button once to eject the chosen CD. The chosen CD may be selected by first touching one of the numbered buttons from 1 to 6. Repeat this procedure for ejecting up to six discs from the changer. Press and hold this button until you hear a beep. The system will now begin ejecting all CDs. Remove the ejected CD so the next CD has room to eject.

(Pause): Touch this button to pause CD play. Touch it again to resume play or touch the play button.

RANDOM ALL: Touch this button to hear the tracks on all of the discs in the CD changer in random, rather than sequential, order. Press the TUNE/SEEK hard key while RANDOM ALL is on to randomly seek within that disc. Touch RANDOM ALL again to turn off random mode.

SCAN DISCS: Touch this button to hear the first 10 seconds of first track on each disc. Touch this button again to stop scanning. The CD will mute while scanning.

(Forward): Touch this button to fast forward quickly through a track selection.

TUNE SEEK : Press the up arrow on the TUNE/SEEK hardkey to seek to the next selection on the compact disc. If playing last track of disc, pressing the up arrow will seek to the first track of the next disc. Press the down arrow to seek to the previous selection on the compact disc. If playing the first track of disc, pressing the down arrow will seek to the last track on the selected disc. The sound will mute while seeking.

    • The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or not loaded label side up.
    • The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and try again.
