CD CHANGER
DESCRIPTION
The 6 Disc In-Dash CD Changer (if equipped) is
located in the existing cubby bin. It is a cartridge-
less changer controlled by the radio and allows the
occupants to load up to six discs, one at a time.
OPERATION
Due to its compact design, the CD changer can
only carry out one operation at a time. For example,
you can not load a new disc while playing another at
the same time. Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit provides control over all features of
the CD changer with the exception of the CD load
and eject functions, which are controlled by buttons
located on the front of the CD changer. All features
you would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track
Up/Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the
radio, which also displays all relevant CD changer
information on the radio display.
The CD changer contains a Load/Eject button and
an indicator light for each of the six disc positions.
The individual light indicates whether a CD is cur-
rently loaded in that particular chamber of the CD
changer. Pressing the individual Load/Eject button
for a particular chamber will eject a disc currently
present in that chamber. If the chamber is currently
empty, actuating the Load/Eject button will position
that chamber to receive and load a new disc in that
chamber.
