CD PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD player: as far as the operation
of the radio is concerned, refer to the description
in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
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 car
radio and then briefly press the CD button to
select the “CD” operating mode: the last track
listened to will start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used, we
recommend using good quality media that are
burnt at the slowest speed possible.LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to
activate the motorised loading system, which will
position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON: 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-IN" and the text "CD Reading". They
will remain displayed for the entire time required
for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this
time has elapsed the radio automatically starts
playing the first track.
Press the
button (EJECT) with the radio on to
activate the motorised ejection of the CD. After
ejection, the last audio source listened to before
playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will
automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later
and the Tuner mode will be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having
removed it completely from the slot, the radio will
not switch to the CD source.

Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM
has been inserted or the CD is inserted the wrong
way round or there is reading error) the display
will show the wording "CD Disc error".
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source
activated prior to the CD mode selection will be
heard.
With an external audio source activated (TA,
ALARM or Phone), the CD that cannot be read
will be not be ejected until these functions have
ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated,
the display will show the text "CD Disc error" for
a few seconds and then the CD will be ejected.
If the CD player overheats the CD playing could
be temporarily interrupted. The radio will
automatically turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and
the display will show “CD hot” and then “CD disc
error”.DISPLAY INFORMATION

appears on the display with the following
meanings:
❒"CD Track 5": indicates the number of the CD
