Playing Discs (Models with navigation system)

Your vehicle’s audio system has an in-dash disc changer with the same controls used for the radio. To operate the disc changer, the ignition switch must be in the ACCESSORY (I) or the ON (II) position.

The disc changer can play these disc formats:

CD (CD-DA) MP3/WMA

The disc packages or jackets should have one of these marks.

The changer can also play MP3 or WMA format.

When playing a disc in MP3, you will see ‘‘MP3’’ in the display. In WMA format, ‘‘WMA’’ will appear in the display.

NOTE:

If a file on a WMA disc is protected by digital rights management (DRM), the audio unit displays UNSUPPORTED, and then skips to the next file.

Video CDs and DVDs will not work in this unit.

Some CD-DA and CD-ROM mixed discs are not playable.

You cannot load and play 3-inch (8-cm) discs in this system.

Do not use discs with adhesive labels.

The label can curl up and cause the disc to jam in the unit.

Loading Discs in the Changer

To load multiple discs in one operation:

1. With the ignition in the ACCESSORY (I) or the ON (II) position, press and hold the LOAD button until you hear a beep and see ‘‘LOAD’’ in the center display, then release the button.

2. Insert a disc into the slot. Insert it only about halfway; the drive will pull it in the rest of the way. You will see ‘‘BUSY’’ in the center display. When you insert the first disc, the changer will start to play the disc.

3. Do not try to insert a disc until ‘‘LOAD’’ appears. You could damage the audio unit.

When ‘‘LOAD’’ appears in the center display again, insert the next disc into the slot.

4. Repeat this until all six positions are loaded. If you are not loading all six positions, the system will then begin playing the last disc loaded.

If you stop loading discs before all six positions are filled, the system will wait for 10 seconds, stop the load operation, and begin playing the last disc loaded.

To load a single disc:

1. Press and release the LOAD button.

2. ‘‘NO DISC’’ is shown on the screen for an empty position in the changer. When the green load indicator comes on and you see ‘‘LOAD’’ in the center display, insert the disc into the slot. Insert it only about halfway; the drive will pull it in the rest of the way.

Do not try to insert a disc until ‘‘LOAD’’ appears. You could damage the audio unit.

You can select the position to load a disc. Turn the interface knob or press a preset button to select the position, then press ENTER on the selector. This starts the loading sequence. If you do not select the position, the system loads the disc to the first empty position in numerical order.

If you press the LOAD button while a disc is playing, the system will stop playing that disc and start the loading sequence. It will then play the disc just loaded.
