If any error occurs repeatedly or
if an error can’t be

Trunk-Mounted CD Changer (If Equipped)
With the optional compact disc changer, you can play up
to 12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine.
The small discs
(8 cm) can be played only with specially
designed trays.
You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the
12 trays holds one
disc. Press the button
on the back of the magazine and
pull gently on one
of the trays. Load the trays from bottom
to top, placing a disc on the tray label side down.
If you load a disc label side up, the disc will not play
and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into
the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure for loading up
to
12 discs in the magazine.
Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, slide
open the door
of the compact disc (CD) changer. Push
the magazine into the changer in the direction
of the
arrow marked on top
of the magazine.
Close the door by sliding it all the way to the left.
If the
door is left partially open, the changer will
not operate
and an error will occur. When the door is closed, the
changer will begin checking for discs in the magazine.
This will continue for up to two minutes depending
on
the number of discs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door all the way open. The magazine will
automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting
inside the changer.

All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
buttons except for ejecting the magazine. Whenever a

display. If the CD changer is checking the magazine for
CDs, the (CDC) symbol will flash on the display until
the changer
is ready to play. When a CD begins playing,
a disc and track number will be displayed. The disc
numbers are listed on the front of
the magazine.
For your convenience, a storage cavity for a spare
magazine or CDs is located below the CD changer. To
retain stored items, the attached elastic cord may be
pulled downward and secured along the bottom edge
of
the opening near the center.
Compact Disc Errors
If E and a number appear on the display, an error has
occurred and the compact disc temporarily cannot play.
The CD changer will send an error message to the
receiver to indicate:
0 E30: Disc Label Side Up
If the error occurred while trying to play a CD in the
compact disc player or changer, the following conditions
may have caused the error:
The road is too rough. The disc should play when the
road is smoother.

The disc is label side up. If so, load the disc label
side down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
