CD LOADING/EJECTION
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to activate
the motorised loading system, which will position it
correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the ignition key
turned to MAR: 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-IN” and the text “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 (EJECT) with the radio on to activate
the motorised ejection of the CD. 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 and the
Tuner mode will be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having removed it
completely from the slot, the radio will not switch to the
CD source.

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
round or there is reading error) the display shows the
text “CD Disc error”.
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source
activated before the CD mode selection will be heard.
With external audio source on (“TA”, “ALARM” and
“Phone”) the CD which cannot be read will not be
ejected until these functions are terminated. At the end,
with the CD mode activated, the display will show the
text “CD Disc error” for a few seconds and then the
CD will be ejected.
If the CD player overheats the CD playing could be
temporarily interrupted. The radio will automatically
turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and the display will
show “CD hot” and then “CD disc error”.
