AUT O SELEC T — If you are
traveling far from home and can no

preset, you can use the Auto Select
feature to find stations in the local
area.

To activate Auto Select, press the A. SEL/RPT button. A. SEL willflash in the display, and the systemwill go into scan mode for several seconds. It automatically scans both
bands, looking for stations with strong signals. It stores the frequen-
cies of six AM stations and twelve

You can then use the preset buttons to select those stations.
If you are in a remote area, Auto

If this happens, you will see a "0"displayed when you press any preset
button that does not have a station
stored.
With Auto Select on, you cannot
manually store any frequencies in
the preset buttons. If you do not like
the stations found by Auto Select,
you can use the TUNE and SEEK functions to find other stations. Auto Select does not erase the
frequencies that you preset pre-
viously. When you return home, turn off Auto Select by pressing the
A. SEL/RPT button. The preset buttons will then select the fre-quencies you originally set.

Operatin g th e C D Change r
(Optional )
A Compact Disc changer is available for your car. It holds up to six discs,providing several hours ofcontinuous entertainment. You
operate this CD changer with thesame controls used for the in-dash
CD player.
Load the desired CDs in the
magazine and load the magazine in
the changer according to theinstructions that came with the unit. Play only standard round discs. Odd-shaped CDs may jam in the drive or
cause other problems.
To select the CD changer, press the CD button. The disc and track
numbers will be displayed. A "0" will
flash for the track number as the CD is loaded, then it will change to a

non-flashing "1".
To select a different disc, press the
appropriate preset button (1 — 6). If
you select an empty slot in the magazine, the changer will, after
finding that slot empty, try to load the CD in the next slot. Thiscontinues until it finds a CD to load
and play.
If you load a CD in the in-dash player
while the changer is playing a CD, the system will stop the changer and
begin playing the in-dash CD. To select the changer again, press theCD button. Play will begin where it
left off. Use the CD button to switch
between the player and the changer.
If you eject the in-dash CD while it is
playing, the system will automaticallyswitch to the CD changer and begin
play where it left off. If there are no CDs in the changer, the display will
flash. You will have to select another
mode (AM or FM) with the button. When you switch back to CD mode,
the system selects the same unit (in-dash or changer) that was playing
when you switched out of CD mode.
To use the SKIP, REPEAT, and RANDOM functions, refer to the in-dash player operating instructions.

Thef t Protectio n
Your car's audio system will disable itself if it is disconnected fromelectrical power for any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specific five-digit code in the
Preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations possible from five digits, making the system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that lists your audio system's codenumber and serial number. It is best
to store this card in a safe place at
home. In addition, you should write
the audio system's serial number in
this Owner's Manual. If you should happen to lose the card, you mustobtain the code number from your
Acura dealer. To do this, you will need the system's serial number. If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, or the radio fuse is
removed, the audio system will
disable itself. If this happens, you
will see "Code" in the frequency display the next time you turn on the
system. Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code. If it is
entered correctly, the radio will start

playing.

If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter thecorrect code. You have three tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in three attempts, you must then leave the system on forone hour before trying again. You will have to store your favorite
stations in the Preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.

Batter
y

Charging the battery with the cables
connected can seriously damage your
car's electronic controls. Detach the
battery cables before connecting the
battery to a charger.

If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the audio system willdisable itself. The next time you turn
on the radio you will see "Code" in
the frequency display. Use the Preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (see page 119).

Maintenance

NOTIC
E

The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery
maintenance.
