•Clean every CD thoroughly removing any finger
marks or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the
outside and clean them from the middle outwards.
•Never use chemicals (e.g. antistatics or thinners or
sprays) for cleaning as they could damage the surface
of the CDs.
•After listening to them place CDs back in their boxes
to prevent them from being damaged.
•Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high tempera-
tures or moisture for long periods.
•Do not stick labels on the CD surface or write on the
recorded surface with pencils or pens.
•Do not use CDs that are very scratched, flawed,
distorted, etc. Using discs like these will result in
malfunctions or damage to the player.
•The use of original CD media is required for the best
quality audio production. Correct operation is notguaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were
not correctly burned and/or with a maximum capacity
above 650 Mb.
•Do not use commercially available protective sheets
for CDs or discs, with stabilizers, etc. as they could get
stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.
•If a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few
seconds before the system starts to play it. The CD
player cannot be guaranteed to play all protected discs.
The fact that the CD is protected from being copied is
often shown in very small letters or is difficult to read
on the actual CD cover where it may be, for example,
“COPY CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS
CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”.
•The CD player is capable of reading most compression
systems currently in use, following the development
of these systems, the reading of all compression for-
mats is not guaranteed.

CD Player
Introduction
This chapter describes the operation of the CD player
only. To operate the radio, refer to the description in the
“Functions and Adjustments” chapter.
CD Player Selection
To activate the CD player built into the equipment,
proceed as follows:
•Load a CD with the equipment switched on. The first
track will start to play.
or
•If a CD has already been loaded, turn on the radio and
then briefly press the MEDIA button to select the “CD”
function mode. The last track listened to will start to
play. It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure optimal
playing. If CD-R/RWs are used, we recommend using
good quality media that are burned at the slowest speed
possible.
CD Loading/Ejecting
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to activate the
motorized loading system, which will position it cor-
rectly.
The CD can be loaded with the radio off and the ignition
key turned to ON/RUN. 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” and the wording “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.
