Using the ªSEEKº function with your CD-Changer
[AS29865(R)10/94]
Press the right (
a) side of the ªSEEKº button to seek
forward to the next track of the current disc. After the last
track has been completed, the CD player automatically
changes to the next disc.
[AS29870(R)04/94]
Press the left (
b) side of the ªSEEKº button to seek to the
previous track on the current disc.

n
Using the SCAN function with your CD Changer
[AS29880(R)10/94]
Press the ªSCANº button to move forward to the next track.
Approximately an eight-second sampling of the track will be
played before moving to the next track. The display will
indicate the disc and track number (dd-tt). At the end of the
disc, the CD Changer automatically changes to the next disc.
[AS29885(R)04/94]

[AS29905(R)04/95]
Operating the CD Compression feature
[AS29910(R)04/94]
Because of the wide dynamic range of Ford's 6-CD Changer
System, soft passages may be difficult to hear under certain
driving conditions while maintaining a reasonable volume level
in the louder passages. The compression feature will bring these
soft and loud passages closer together for a more consistent
listening level.
*
[AS29915(R)01/95]
To turn the compression on, press the ªCOMPRESSº/#5 button.
When the compression feature is activated, the display will
indicate ªCº.

How to fast forward or reverse your CD player
[AS30620(R)05/96]
To quickly search for a particular point in a selection, press the
(
a) side of the ºTUNEª button (to fast forward) or press the
(
b) side (to reverse). While either button is pressed, the disc
goes forward or backward at two different speeds depending on
how long the button is held down. Pressing and holding either
button for more than three seconds will speed up the process.
Release the button at the desired point (found by watching the
elapsed playing time in the display or by listening to the sound
during fast forward or reverse). When you have reached the
beginning of track 1, the CD player will begin playing.
[AS30630(R)05/96]
When you reach the end of a track, the CD will advance to the
next track and continue at high speed. When the end of the CD

Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS30760(R)05/96]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely
clear and noise-free, such as the following:
*
[AS30770(R)05/96]1.
Distance/Strength
*
[AS30780(R)05/96]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance
the signal must travel. The listenable range of an average FM
signal is approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond this
distance, the radio is operating in a fringe area and the signal
becomes weaker.

*
[AS30790(R)05/96]2.
Terrain
*
[AS30800(R)05/96]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS30810(R)05/96]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal ºbendsª around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ºshadowª of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
*
[AS30820(R)05/96]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or structures, the
reflected signal cancels the normal signal, causing the antenna to
pick up noise and distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite
severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways.
*
[AS30830(R)05/96]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono blend circuit has
been incorporated into this system. This feature automatically
switches a weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS30840(R)05/96]
Several sources of static are normal conditions on AM
frequencies. These can be caused by power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms.
*
[AS30850(R)05/96]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal Capture and
Overload. This can occur when listening to a weak station and
when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the displayed
frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station
may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
