3. You will see‘‘DISC READ ’’on the
center display, then the system
begins to play the CD.
You can load a CD into an empty
position while a CD is playing. Select
the empty position (the disc indicator
is not shown on the center display)
by pressing the appropriate side of
the preset bars. The current CD
stops playing and starts the loading
sequence. The CD just loaded will
play.
You can load a disc(s) in any mode
(AM, FM, XM, or AUX) if you do not
select an empty position.
If you press the LOAD button while a
disc is playing, the system will stop
playing that disc and start the loading
sequence. It will then play the disc
just loaded. To Play a CD
Select the CD changer by pressing
the CD/AUX button. You will see
‘‘
CD ’’on the center display. The
system will begin playing the last
selected CD in the CD changer. You
will see the disc and track numbers
displayed.
When the system reaches the end of
the disc, the system will advance to
the next disc and begin to play. To
select a different disc, press an
appropriate side of the preset bar
(1 － 6). If you select an empty
position in the CD changer, the
system will try to load the CD in the
empty slot. Playing an MP3/WMA Disc
The CD changer can play CD-Rs and
CD-RWs compressed in MP3 and
WMA format. When playing a disc in
MP3 or WMA, you will see
‘‘MP3 ’’or
‘‘ WMA’’ on the center display. A disc
can support more than 99 folders,
and each folder can hold up to 255
playable files.
When there are more than 99 folders
on a disc, the center display only
shows two digits.
NOTE : If a file on an MP3 or WMA
disc is protected by digital rights
management (DRM), the audio unit
displays FORMAT, and then skips to
the next file.
If the disc has a complex structure, it
will take a while to read the disc
before the system begins to play it.

CD within 10 seconds, the system
selects the previous mode (AM,
FM1, FM2, or XM).
If you do not remove the CD from
the slot, the system will reload the
CD after 10 seconds and put the CD
changer in pause mode. To begin
playing the CD, press the CD/AUX
button.
To remove a different CD from the
changer, select it with the
appropriate side of the preset bar.
When that CD begins playing, press
the eject button. Press and hold the eject button until
you hear a beep to remove all the
discs from the changer.
You can also eject discs when the
ignition switch is off by pressing the
eject button. The disc that was last
selected is ejected first. You can eject
the rest of the discs one at a time.
