Using the Single CD Player
Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up.
The player will pull it in. If the ignition and the radio are
on the CD will begin playing. CD will appear on the
display. A CD may be loaded with the radio off but it will
not start playing until the radio is on.
If you turn off the ignition or radio with a CD in the
player, it will stay in the player. When you turn on the
ignition or radio, the CD will start to play where it
stopped, if it was the last selected audio source.
The CD player can play the smaller 8cm single CDs
with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and the smaller CDs
are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded, and the way the
CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in nding tracks and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.
Do not add paper labels to CDs, they could get caught
in the CD player.Do not play 3 inch CDs without a standard adapter CD.

external auxiliary device such as a camcorder to the
RCA jacks and turn on both the auxiliary device power
